VON PARIAHS, who had already won over critics with their first recordings and earned universal acclaim during the tour that followed their debut album, are starting fresh with Genuine Feelings. Comfortably guided by an unfailing rock groove, the listener is confronted with the dialectic between a saturated rhythm guitar with a vintage — yet wild — sound and another, classic lead guitar, which delves into both garage chorus and noisy shoegaze walls of sound. The wall of sound on this new album is a homemade product, a work as meticulous as it is feverish. It revisits the fundamentals of rock'n'roll, from piano riffs to an relentless baggy sound rhythm. To perfect this incredible atmosphere, which we can already imagine on stage, Sam's vocals, at times crooner-like, at times aggressive, belt out unifying choruses that you find yourself singing in the street. Street credibility.
