Les Fragments de la Nuit return with their second masterpiece. Lush nocturnal Neo-Classical pieces forming an epic soundtrack that runs from quiet, melancholy-driven moments to stirring, violent passages and eerie moods.
Les Fragments de la Nuit return
with their new album! "Demain, c'était Hier"
perpetuates their timeless musical quest, blending the radiance
of the stars with the dark forces that lurk in the Night.
The French ensemble have kept faithful to their trademark style,
in which pulsing piano chords set the pace for the string-work
woven by the cellist and the three violinists, haunted by female
choirs that surface on occasion. Yet, contrary to its predecessor,
which mostly gathered pieces composed over the years, "Demain,
c'était Hier" was devised as a complete opus,
giving way to longer and more elaborate compositions.
Although challenging in its complexity, "Demain, cétait
Hier" is nevertheless immediately engaging, building
a vibrant soundtrack to a tale of mystery and suspense. The
album holds quiet, melancholy-driven moments - such as those
found on Teletemps or Cyrius B, emphasized by
beautiful violin solos, or the title track's slow motion waltz
- that flow into stirring, violent passages on tracks like Lunistice
or Des Restes Vivaces. Halfway through the record, Allegra
Aeternae offers an epic crescendo, complete with choir,
percussion and French horn, immediately preceding the eerie
Marche Nocturne with its wickedly ceremonial atmosphere.
Such variety is testimony to the band's ability to take Contemporary
/ Neo-Classical music beyond its typical standards, by adding
to this genre other stylistic references, some common to Post-Rock,
Pop or even Metal, and thus bringing together elements that
recall the works of composers like Steve Reich, Philip
Glass or Arvo Pärt with those of formations
such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Balanescu Quartet
or even the sinister cult-band Magma. "Demain,
cétait Hier" discloses a unique musical universe
that takes form in an overpowering nocturnal masterpiece. On
Digipak CD, with illustrations by Aurélien Police.
