There is a real revival of the French music scene of late. Most of it is Indie, Garage and Punk, Paris five piece, Maw Sit Sit are certainly not any of those. Although, Far Away From You gets very close, a fine slab of energetic Noise Rock.
That though is out of kilter with the other five songs on show which are more soundscapes, beautifully arranged, very close to Symphonic Prog, but with vocal harmonies not a million miles away from Beach Boys West Coast territory.
/p>
At times, these songs sound like cinematic dream sequences, but they are fascinating and capture your imagination wonderfully. Bass, Drums and Guitar are present and the rhythm section knits together really well, but there is also a heavy keyboard lead. Guitars and Keyboards resonate perfectly.
The four part vocal harmonies are what engage you most. Unusual for material of this sort. It works well, but completely surprises you. Far Away From You does sound like a totally different band, but reveals that the five have a lot in their armoury.
You can listen to and buy the album here.
