The fourth album from this band from Canada.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, clavinet, piano, organ, keyboards, synths and vocals.
Some guests added steel guitars, synths and backing vocals.
This band is, as Barrdo is, from Quebec in the French speaking part of Canada. Hence the French vocals.
I have reviewed their first three albums in # 3 of this blog and given them a good to very good albums status.
The music on this forty minutes long album is a mix of French folk rock and symphonic prog. Harmonium is a band that springs to mind here. It is easy and probably a bit unfair to declare that Perseide is Harmonium's heir apparent. But it feels like it when you are listening to this and their first three albums.
The music is both melodic and intricate. It is also clever and quirky. There is indeed some Canterbury scene influence in their music.
The vocals are very good and the music has some good guitars and keyboards too. The band and the guests do a very good job indeed.
The overall quality is therefore very good and this is another very good album from this band. A band well worth checking out.
3.5 points
