Genre/Influences:
Dark
electro-pop.
Background/Info:
UK
formation Dicepeople has already been active for more than 10 years now. The
band now consists of core member Matt Brock (music) and singer Zmora. The album
was originally released in 2018, first digitally, and now available on CD
format.

There
where previous releases revealed a rather explicit electro-pop touch mixed with
some harder passages, “One From Many” seems to announce a turning point in the
band’s career. It remains a kind of wave/electro-pop driven composition, but
the global atmosphere recovering the songs is much darker than ever before.
This feeling has been accentuated by a bombastic production. Zmora is the main
vocalist, but she’s often joined by Matt Brock.

A good and/or charismatic singer is often really important. I’m not
affirming that Zmora is the best female singer I’ve heard, but this woman
injects a great spirit in the work. Her way of singing also is complementary
with the voice of Matt Brock. Sound-wise Dicepeople are hard to define, but
they clearly try to create a personal sound, which is not only dark, but still
mysterious.

I’m not saying this work sounds like a new beginning, but it’s
definitely different from what this band has done before. I like this
evolution, but they now have to improve a few little details, the songs being a
bit too similar.
Conclusion:
Dicepeople
remains an interesting formation; one trying to get a very personal sound while
using influences we all know.
Best
songs: “Gone”, “Duality”, “Multiplicity”, “Celestial”.
