Absinthe (Provisoire) - Alejandra

Thank you France for providing us with Absinthe (provisoire), all those who thought that you couldn’t offer anything after Serge will soon be apologising. This is the soundtrack to that Arty French flick you wish you’d seen but were too confused to sit through, it’s glorious. The first track Kocka is about six weeks long and I could have listened to it twice in a row. They provide something that other, excuse the terminology, ‘Post-Rock’ bands cannot. They tell a story, a definite tale with a beginning, middle and end, which has highs and lows and incident. Their music is like a radio-play where the actors do not speak but crash through the studio walls, throw chairs at the glass and slam the microphones into the ground then, after a few moments of solemn weeping, get up to do it all again.
