Vromb - Le Pêcheur De Noyés FLAC album

After a brief harmonica-flavored introduction we dive deep within the waters. "L'Homme Grenouille" sets an oxygene-rich pace as we slowly submerge into the depths, "Le Fleuve" engulfs us inside its echoes and almost ethnic textures intertwined alongside drowned-out electroid-accoustics, culminating in an almost above-surface drone of more harmonica treatments, before "Air Comprimé" distracts our temporary buoyancy as we are immersed again. By this time, "Urgence" acts as flickering light from unknown objects found during this aquatic voyage, counteracting as an irregular rhythm is crafted from unrecognizeable sounds, as a darker-toned, almost sinister pattern seems to emerge. As the tide seems to growl with intensity, "Fonds Marins" offers a floating sense of peace, repleat with more hints of harmonica and higher-pitched watery crystalizations. Bref, Vromb's "Le Pêcheurs de Noyés" is again another thematic journey from the mind and machines of Hugo Girard, a somewhat slight departure from what some of his "period" pieces dictated yet never straying too far off the patented, if not iconic, Vromb sound. It's a fantastic album which grabs hold and never allows our subconscious to veer off the murky underwater paths layed upon, and beneath, us. An amazing deluxe packaging no less, which includes another pin (different from the one found on the deluxe version of "Le Facteur Humain"), stickers, postcards, an embossed Vromb logo on the individually assembled and stapled black box, and reprints of various local newspaper articles about Roger Girard, the focal point and inspiration for this release.
