Capharnaüm - Le Soleil est une Bombe Atomique (2007)Unicorn Digital

This French-titled album above was sticked to a Canadian band's full length debut CD. Probably, some of you have had an opportunity to read something about their demo, so I will get down to business. The debut stuff was recorded in 4-member line-up: François Blanchard (guitar,programming), Marc-André Blanchard (guitar), Philippe-Antoine Bernard (bass) and Maxime Brisebois (drums, percussion).

In comparison to "Intrumental", this stuff is more vivid and catchy in a sense. Canadians' musical proposal is still optimistic and full of positive emotions. All musicians' parts are ingenious, a bit complicated in structure, yet listenable and approachable. Generally, the debut is muted and enough quiet, but it doesn't mean that there is no heaviness inside. I must forcibly write that their music is also heavy. Remember that every vigilant observer and listener can predict the storm despite a calm and suspect an atom in an innocently looking little bomb. They can abolutely blow up the instrumental bomb! Their music is exactly so - instrumentally nuclear! They don't excessively show off their skills, but it is audible that they could have done much more with the instruments if they had wanted. Was the thing about a guitar show? I don't think so. I am pretty sure that they cared deeper about producing an intended climate. Undoubtedly, they have been successful!

If you like listening to instrumental and spatial music using progressive means of expression, you should easily enjoy this album, since Capharnaüm plays a warm and proggy music. If you feel like using your rusty brain, you can find remedial measures among the Canadians' tones on their first official presentation.
