Denmark’s Masters of atmosphere return with their second album, the enlightening Parades which continues in the same musical fairytale realm where debut album Tripper left us a few years ago.
Layered to sensual perfection with abundant violins and sparse drums peppered with a few string pricks and somber voices, it is an album that drips with emotion and atmosphere but is never overwhelmed by it. One almost feels like being called to attention by the sparse, militaristic drumming on songs such as ‘Maison de Reflexion’. However this is an album of strange beauty. ‘Polygyne’ feels like a trip down a nightmarish rabbit hole which still somehow makes you feel good. Parades is a vibrant cocktail of sounds and emotions that will warm your heart.
