Moonpix Recorder - Nineteen
Il suffit de se laisser prendre sans résister, dans les premiers accords tendus et électriques d'une musique aussi mathématique que ténébreuse; telles sont les premières sensations éprouvées à l'écoute de cet E.P. de Moonpix Recorder, lent et majestueux, toujours sur la corde. Et si l'on accepte de se prêter au jeu, celui-ci en vaut la chandelle, bien au-delà de la décharge sonore qu'il crée et parcourt dans nos organismes tendus et nerveux. Entre batteries hypnotiques, basses langoureuses et pesantes, guitares dissonantes et échevelées, on se sent comme au bord de l'implosion, de l'anéantissement; sur la corde raide, chaque veine et chaque muscle semblant vouloir se frotter à nos peaux tendues pour mieux s'en extraire. Entre post-rock et élans psychédéliques, influences cold-wave et fusion parfaite entre six cordes arpégées et explosives, on se perd dans les méandres d'un rock mélancolique et désespéré, tel une blessure à vif pour laquelle aucune guérison n'est possible. La voix devient alors torturée et tortueuse, véritable symbole de cette souffrance exorcisée au long des quatre formidables titres de ce Nineteen éprouvant et singulièrement prenant. Grâce à de grandes qualités techniques ainsi qu'un sens incomparable de l'arrangement et de la composition, Moonpix Recorder semble devoir devenir l'un des groupes à part dans l'univers du rock intelligent et maîtrisé, mémorable et sombre, pensé et émotionnellement intense.

One only has to get intensively captivated by this music, without any resistance, thanks to the very first tense and electric tunes heard in such a mathmatical and dark music; while hearing Moonpix Recorder's first E.P., one can't but feel impressed by such a slow, anxious and intense music. And, if anyone accepts to play the musical game of the band, wonderful treasure will come to life, after feeling a kind of electrical storm and tension in one's nervous and stressful body. Thanks to hymnotic drums, slow and heavy bass lines, untuned and powerful guitars, the listener feels like he/she is going to implode or die because od pain and tiredness; body muscles and veins need to scorch skin and bones and get out of the body. Sometimes post-rock, sometimes psychedelic, cold wave or guitaristically exploding and soft, the listener gets lost into a melancolic and despaired rock style, as if he/she was hurt and couldn't find a cure to the disease. In such a perfect musical universe, vocals then become as tortured as a labyrinth, and a symbol of and exorcised pain; and that is, while listening to each 4 tracks of this captivating and sensitive E.P.. Thanks to great technical qualities and an impressive sense of arranging and composing, Moonpix Recorder will certainly become one of the best representative bands of intelligent, clever, dark, thoughtful and emotionally intense rock music.
