BEFORE THE DAWN HEALS US – LP SAMPLER
LABELS

This duo from Antibes in the south of France has been bubbling under for some time and could well hit it big soon. An astute collage of wall-of-sound guitars, fragile electronica and strong melodies (kinda My Bloody Valentine sleeping with Boards Of Canada and New Order) their tortured yet graceful tracks really stand out amongst the electronic indie production. Lifted of the band’s third album ‘Before The Dawn Heals Us’ (out in the new year) the instrumental ‘Guitar And A Heart’ is abrasive pop with an epic edge whereas ‘Safe’ is an introspective ballad.
