Tombouctou
In 2017 some musicians from Lyon (France) who took upon themselves to name their band after a city they had never set foot in, released their first LP "Ceiling Coast". Think of a fantastic stampede, of guitar riffs pouring fire, a release of affamished harpies quenching themselves from your suffocating wounded soul, thus, leaving you exhausted, confused, and yet captivated as if you had awoken from Walpurgis night.
After a set of tour dates engraved in the public’s memory, the trio had to reluctantly set aside their fantasy of musical stakhanovism, getting caught up in the vile necessity of earning their lives, usually, quite an unfulfilling task.
They finally got together whenever possible, and jammed in a state of frenzy, exalting dull day to day life into forbidden chords, singing new characters or an ultimate rythmic mischief, giving life to a new music.
From SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES’ arrogant grace, to BLONDE REDHEAD’s melodic yowling skills by way of LIVE SKULL’s abrasive tracery, then as a whole, caught in a vice of twisted jazz sound on speed, an impromptu black metal lava flow and news from the ukrainian front through drum beating, the band, in a tracking shot with contrasted narrative, propels us from an icy cave to a desperate climb up Mordor only wearing a pair of Crocs™.
