It comes back to seize me. That sensation that clamps itself around the viscera, while simultaneously spawning kaleidoscopic dragonfly-thoughts in the gray matter—thoughts that bloom into a wild, untamed matrix of beauty, unruly and unrestrained. A full-body contraction in the face of an avalanche of euphoric feedback, collapsing the self into something porous, trembling, barely distinguishable from sound itself. A paradoxical feeling of levitation through unruly, fantastical skies, ten thousand miles above a world already deranged beyond recognition—while still being nailed to the ground, hammered by impossible sonics, by rhythmic architectures of staggering precision, by heaviness transfigured into voluptuous grace. Yes. Camellia Rose Tree are back. With force. With their brilliance untouched. There is nothing quite like this.
** FOR PROMOTION PARTNERS ONLY ! ** please don't ask for the password unless you run a magazine/blog, radio show or similiar (no social media only) Ever elusive, La Société des Timides à la Parade des Oiseaux delivers a new album where experimental rock merges with sonic performance. Opening with “Mécontent,” a tense and abrasive piece, the record immediately sets the tone—that of a world off balance, observed with fierce lucidity. What follows is a series of contrasting soundscapes, blending instrumental drift, fragmented spoken word, and almost ritualistic atmospheres. True to their singular aesthetic—somewhere between Pere Ubu, Faust, and The Residents—La STPO continues its poetic deconstruction, weaving together humor, unease, and strangeness. An intense, layered record that rewards deep listening and reveals new textures with every play.
Skyjelly Jones, if he is in fact the vocalist, sings in a polyglot style that’s hard to pin down; sometimes the lyrics sound French, other times vaguely Arabic, occasionally veering close to something resembling English—it could be Esperanto, even. The words aren’t really the point, though, unfolding as more of a bonus texture by adding blurry, minor-key shading and chantlike rigor to the clatter of the guitars, percussion, and assorted loops and sound effects that make up the eclectic, eccentric sound world on Skyjelly’s new record, SPIRIT GUIDE - Merry Go Round
