Barrdo - Amer Faste (2025)

 

The seventh album from this band from Canada.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band comes from Quebec, the French speaking part of Canada. I have always compared them to Harmonium, the band fronted by Serge Fiore who sadly passed away last month (24. June). 

I have always liked this band as you can read in my reviews of their albums in # 3 of this blog. Hence, a new Barrdo album is something I am always looking forward to.

This forty minutes long album sees the band scaling back again and retreating more into a chanson and French folk rock band. There is not much symphonic prog and not many Harmonium influences either. 

The music is a bit bare-boned and not so progressive. Neither is it that exciting.

This is not among their best albums. It is pretty much their least interesting album. There is still some good stuff here. But not enough to win my approval.
