Moving around somewhere between indie-rock and dance-pop, Balbec, while making a game-out of diametrically opposite references, entire us into multiform reverie.

Fed from the rich soils of Portishead and Tortoise, bred by the likes of Stereolab and The Wedding Present, those nomadic architects raise an unexpected and deceptively unsteady building, cemented by seminal inspirations ranging from Nick Drake to Mogwai.

Up and about since early 2002, with a wealth of several years spent on musical experiences rooted in the 90's indie-pop-rock then post-rock movements, Balbec keep on discovering new territories as seasons go by. Fancy a journey with them ?

 

This album was reviewed by several blogs in UK. Here is what you can read:

 

"Balbec latest release is alreadya classic, opening with the cheerful and childish Wysiwyg and ending with the dark and mesmerizing Nova. In the middle the 11 songs of this LP are a journey in time and space. With this new LP, they show their mastership at writing and performing excellent songs evoking Pavement, Sonic Youth, Pixies or Radiohead".

"Jaunty power indie pop, sitting somwhere between the Primitives and the Cardigans with a dash of Metric to give it a modern twist. A really joyous, tuneful and fresh sounding record, both hugely engaging and invigorating."
