As young as the year 2019 still may be: it already has the first massive surprise to offer. Of all bands, it is Dark Wave and Heavenly Voices pioneers COLLECTION D’ARNELL-ANDRÉA who return to the stage of lugubrious music. But that’s not all: Their brand new, by now tenth studio album “Another Winter” is en passant redefining and reinventing the already presumed dead genre of Dark Wave.
The lyrics evoke the universality of passing times, the sorrows and the mourning but the remarkable, captivating and more present than ever voice of Chloé transforms these contemporary elegies into a romanticism turned towards the light. If the musical colour of the album remains very “collectionist” and thus retains all the originality of a sound forged for almost 30 years, “Another Winter” confirms a natural evolution towards more contrasted climates that will undoubtedly charm the fans of PORTISHEAD, THE NOTWIST or BRENDAN PERRY.
