VERDURE (vinyl)

Description

The Hyènes are discussing a sequel. Luc Robène replaces JeanPaul Roy and plugs his guitar into the band's repertoire. The new album is called Verdure, and it speaks of all that slips through our fingers – life, time, love – in a race toward a happiness that is different for each of us but never too far away, thanks to riffs as formidable as they are effective and lyrics that touch us deeply. The result is a vision that, if not entirely fair, is often dark. But since it's always in darkness that the roughest diamonds shine, this album offers many of them. A thousand sparkling chords for 12 songs where fierce determination wholeheartedly embraces the rage of not having recorded for several years. The eternal struggle of the earthen pot against the iron pot, isn't one grain of sand enough to disrupt things? “A REFERENCE IN FRENCH ROCK” --- FRANCE INFO ---. “THE CHARISMATIC DRUMMER OF THE BIGGEST FRENCH ROCK BAND: NOIR DÉSIR.” “‘The Hyènes’ sounds a bit like Noir Désir, inevitably, but it goes beyond that and is just as, if not more, impactful.” LACN
