KEEP ON FALLING

Description

Let the pagans and other tomb profaners tremble: Vox Low emerges once again like a messenger from the depths, ready to shake the foundations, bearing on its shoulders the weight of ancient legends of dark mysteries. VRRRRRRR! In their highly anticipated second album, Keep On Falling, the Parisians dare to don the ultimate shroud of rock'n'roll mythology: Vince Taylor's black leather ski suit. Like Moses raising his arms, like the call of fallen angels, they summon on this album the spirits of Jeffrey Lee Pierce from the Gun Club, the outlaw greasers of the fifties, as well as the heroes of acid rock. Wham! Bam! Thank You Ma'am! - - What seems to bind these renegades is the fanaticism of devotees towards Mark E. Smith and a passion for chaos. Vox Low thus releases their much-anticipated second album, Keep On Falling, following an impeccable first record in 2018. - - One can notice a slight change in direction compared to their first record, perhaps with fewer club influences. In a macabre dance between shadow and light, each track on the album reveals an unexpected depth, inviting the listener to plunge into an enchanting trance. - - This work is more mature and fluid than their first opus, and Vox Low merges genres to create an enchanting blend of soaring krautrock, funereal post-punk, smoky dub, and minimalist rock'n'roll. While the tone seems to harden, these scoundrels also appear in a more pop and, strangely, brighter light. And what shines in their eyes are their black eyes. For, amidst the smoke curls and the image of gothic ravens, there lie bright and beautifully composed songs. - - Thus, through the murky waters of rock'n'roll and rave culture, Vox Low erects with Keep On Falling a timeless monument, vibrating with deep intensity and uncompromising artistic vision. As a tribute to their legendary heroes, these modern virtuosos transcend the boundaries of time and space, connecting the dark energies of the past to the burning vitality of the present. Solitude, sad flesh, fervor for the thugs dressed in a pair of blue jeans, and a metallic taste of blood in the mouth, these are all themes—dear to the post-punk bible—that are addressed here: a magnificent collection of songs about faith and devotion. - - Prepare to succumb to its enchanting power and lose yourself in the meanders of a captivating sonic ceremony.
