This gloomy
release from French two-piece C.R.O.W.N is a great soundtrack to the
dismal weather we have been graced with this winter/early spring
(snow in March, in London, seriously??). Combining both ambient
soundscapes with Isis style slow-tempo drums and simple yet hypnotic
riffs, C.R.O.W.N are definitely a band worth checking out if sludgy
post-rock is your thing. The electronic drums are a nice touch on
this record, and the synthesised atmospherics give it an industrial
feel and help to break up an image of a grey winter forest that is
painted by the heavier bits of this release.I wouldn't say that there is anything groundbreaking going on here, but C.R.O.W.N know how to do slow, heavy and detaching music. You can definitely get lost in your thoughts listening to this album and it's blatantly great music for getting stoned to.
I'm taking this moment to nickname this band “the trance from France”. I wonder if that'll catch on...
