The Folklore of Man, by Vale

The Folklore of Man

by Vale

supported by

Andy Needing a fresh listen. Goes to wishlist. Chooses Folklore of Man by Vale and gets on with his work. After around fifteen minutes, he realizes that there is music on in the background, it is good, it is very good. He wants to tell people why he likes this so much ... he doesn't know. The hypnotic elements juxtaposed with the harder, but not too hard melodic elements. That might be it ! And he likes all the tracks the same ! This is very good indeed ! Favorite track: Shatter.

thravson Something about this album kept bringing me back and I could not place it on one single part but the whole of it. This is good work, very solid and great to put on and let play as it is emotive journey through sound....some of it is very left field and unexpected but fits together well. Favorite track: A Bridge to Nowhere.

Alice M. One of my best surprises of the last few weeks. Spans a large spectrum of intensities and atmospheres and makes it feel perfectly natural.

Dave Aftandilian Innovative take on post-rock and DSBM. Jangling, dissonant, frenzied, yet ultimately reveals unexpected moments of peace and beauty bubbling up from the cesspool of existence.

vncntkdl Melancholic, yet uplifting. Has a certain Burzum ring to it...quite interesting! Favorite track: A Bridge to Nowhere.

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 121 fans who also own “The Folklore of Man”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 113 fans who also own “The Folklore of Man”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert

selftitled
by NONE

supported by 99 fans who also own “The Folklore of Man”

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
