Review: 'NLF3'
'Pink Renaissance'   

-  Label: 'Prohibited Records'
-  Genre: 'Post-Rock' -  Release Date: '6th October 2014'

Our Rating:
Formed in Paris in 2000, siblings Nicolas and Fabio Laureau subsequently recruited drummer Mitch Pires to become a trio.

Their music is promoted as "half way between movie score and psychedelic transgressions".

Apart from a few hums and wordless chants, the nine tracks are instrumentals featuring distorted beats and looped minimalist rhythms. Keyboards, guitar and drums ensure that the machine-made synthesised aspects play second fiddle to a more organic sound.

Cosmic qualities are suggested by titles like The Stellar Friendship and Comets but their methodology is more akin to a meticulously planned space mission than to a tripped out moonwalk.

This precision makes for a cold efficiency when the warmth of some looser structures would have been welcome.

As a result, tracks like the title tune and Three Dances deliver a lively brand of jazzy math rock that won't get any dance floor grooving but is sure to satisfy punters of a more intellectual persuasion.
