Genre/Influences:
Cold-wave.
Background/Info:
French
project Nice Cold Nation has already released several (self-released)
production over the past four years. “Life” brings nine new songs.
Content:
The
main evolution with some of the previous productions I’ve heard is the more
‘ballad’-like style from this work. It’s not exactly typically ballad-like, but
you rapidly feel a kind of evasive sensation supported with dark atmospheres.
+
+ + : I like the melancholia emerging from this work. It awakens some good-old
80s ghosts although I experienced this new opus as more ‘personal’-like. “Life”
appears to be a melancholic voyage, which finds its apotheosis at “Essential”.
I also recommend “Lightkeeper” for the female backing vocals adding a little
bonus to the song. The additional female vocals definitely are a positive element.

– – : Except “Lightkeeper” I’m missing high lights at this album. That’s
precisely what Nice Cold Nation needs to gain more recognition.
Conclusion:
I
can’t say that Nice Cold Nation has convinced me, but I have to admit “Life” is
a pleasant work to discover.
