Aranis - Made In Belgium II (2014)

 

The 8th album from this band from Belgium.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of double bass, guitar, violin, viola, accordion, piano, flute, alto flute, voice and vocals.

One guest added guitar on two tracks.

The band returned again after a one year long album break. This is part II of the Made In Belgium series of albums. A two-album series. The first album was good.

The album clocks in at one hour.

The music is chamber orchestra classical music.

The music is pretty dark on this album. Dark chamber orchestra music. There are even some bars of Led Zeppelin's evergreen classic Rock'N'Roll here. Other parts of this album are dissonant and melancholic.

There are also some atonal vocals here.

This is a bit of an uncomfortable listen, this album. The music still works and this is therefore a good album.

I got a bit of a soft spot for this band and I recommend their albums.
