Genre/Influences: Cold-wave, gothic.
Background/Info:
The Bluebeard’s Castle is
a French duo set up in 2017 by Yannick Rault (Triple Sun, So What?, Sander
& Melody, Twenty Years…) and Bela Goosy (Les Belles nOÏseuses, Bela
Goosy…). “Beyond The Door” is the band’s debut album featuring 15 songs.
Content:
After a truly horror-like
intro revealing guitar playing, deep vocal growls and epic arrangements,
“Beyond The Door” directly moves into cold-wave music. The mewing guitar parts
are regularly evoking the good-old 80s and especially Bauhaus appears to be a
source of inspiration. I also noticed more wafting pieces. The songs have been
accomplished by electronic arrangements and effects.
+ + + :
“Beyond The Door” brings
us back to the dark magic of the 80s. The guitar playing and deep, vibrating
bass play are clearly bringing cold-wave memories alive. From guitar parts
reminding to Bauhaus to bass lines evoking the Cure this album also features
electronic parts. The song “Confusion” is one of the album’s strongest
exposures, which brings the good-old cold-wave music to life.
– – – :
This album will bring you
no surprises. It’s a classical, but contemporary cold-wave release so if you’re
in search of innovation you better pass your way.
Conclusion:
The Buebeard’s Castle
totally fits to the music taste of Cold Transmission Music. It’s a real
pleasant album in its music genre.
Best songs:
“Confusion”, “Deathtrap”,
“Died Of The Shock”, “Motion”.
