Moving Sand - "Gray Cell"

Dolores O'Riordan meets P.J. Harvey (9/10)

Album a tendance accoustique mettant en avant l'harmonie du chant et les textes. Creé dans un petit home studio avec du matériel plutôt sommaire.Vous souhaitons un beau voyage dans le monde de Moving sand

A very powerful recording. I recommend it to every fan of intelligent rock music (I do not like a word "alternative" - who said crap is "regular" and good music is "alternative"?). I love the way everything is mixed on this album - an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, great percussion work, a Jew's harp, great female vocals, traces of jazz, instrumental improvisations.

Oh, and one more thing - this whole "folk" thing. This album has nothing to do with folk music. Use of an acoustic guitar and a Jew's harp does not turn something into folk. I wonder if these "folks" ;-) that tag it as "folk" listened to a single one folk album in their life. I doubt it.
