COMMENCEMENT by Police des moeurs
Although a mirror or extension of the previous Péril, COMMENCEMENT differs from it in this way: the atmosphere of the brief interludes that punctuated Péril is now built within most of the pieces, through introductions, suspension bridges or extended finales, thus offering more complex spaces to visit. The duo offers catchy melodies, via synths and vocals, while their bouncy rhythmic signature is still present on several tracks. Composed of 10 eclectic tracks, the album harmonizes through meticulous arrangements. It also constructs it's logic through a narrative framework composed of stripped-down words, acting as incantations. These repetitive formulas seem to come from impotent ruminations, but they also take the form of renewed promises, invitations to revolt or the summoning of a distant joy.
