Darius’s approach to music is reminiscent of the lost art of building castles. A long-term project only to be achieved by the steady force of the collective. Album after album, year after year, one can witness their wall of noise getting thicker and more intricate, finding its distinctive richness in abstraction. Murmuration is an impressive watchtower of orchestral noise-rock crafted by raucus, almost mineral guitar slabs, heavily shaken by anxious drumbeats. The floor is trembling yet the fortress holds still. Tracked again live by Amaury Sauvé at the Apiary Studio in Laval, this new full- length sees the swiss quintet insisting on what they’re best at defending: solid instrumental rock that’s made to last.
