It’s
not that easy to seize all elements running through this composition. That’s
maybe what explains the rather experimental touch hanging over the songs. But
the main basis of their writing appears to be some electro and new-wave music.
The songs have been supported with mysterious moods accentuated by some
space-like effects on the vocals.

“We are Nowhere” has something retro-like merged with contemporary
influences. It’s a unique production, which is hard to label, but probably
appealing form some electro-pop audience. I like the mix of influences, which
creates a kind of experimental/pop/ambient hybrid. One of my favorite cuts is the
instrumental “Bubble Chamber”, which is driven by a slow, bombastic rhythmic.

The global approach sounds cool, but I’m missing real highlights. A bit
more melodic arrangements would be cool.
Conclusion:
This
new project brings an easy listening, but not groundbreaking debut work!
