FLAC version of Half a Band<\/strong>‘s album, Moody Weather<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The major tone of the album is rather minor and quite dark. Thus, the linguistic delicacy and the gray shades of the sea spray take on meaning in the introductory and concluding tracks: \u201cMoody Weather\u201d and \u201cGloomy Weather\u201d which both have the same meaning at first glance. However, one gradually sink into darkness (gloomy) starting from a mood of unstable and changing background (moody), like the different photographs taken by Olivier Bonneau which illustrate the cover of Moody Weather. In the same way, the few lyrics\u00a0\u2013 the vocal melodies get the congruent part here\u00a0\u2013 alternate between contemplation (\u201cThe Sea the Night\u201d), introspection (\u201cLonesome Sailor\u201d) and trompe l\u2019oeil optimism (\u201cDrifting Away in the Night\u201d and its subtle use of Trumpian \u201cfight, fight, fight\u201d). The writing of this album is therefore both the product of foggy winter nights in the heart of Auvergne, of an introspective quest in the anxiety-provoking climate of international news and the fruit of daydreams contemplating the sea, at night, somewhere between the English Channel and the Irish Sea.
\nOne can thus detect reminiscences of training with the Scousers and various influences, ranging from the \u201cmaritime\u201d inspired songs of Marillion (\u201cOcean Cloud\u201d, \u201cEstonia\u201d, \u00ab\u201dEaster\u201d\u2026) to those of Rick Wright, including cosmic electro and the dark Mellotrons of the old Genesis. The sounds of the ensemble therefore fall in between the very seventies vibe of Tales From Claustrophobic Horizons and Deep in the Night, which was an obvious tribute to the progressive pop of the eighties. An album to be listened, like a gentle backwash, hypnotic and captivating.<\/p>\n
