Lazuli - Réponse Incongrue À LInéluctable

Review by Brian Preble

Lazuli's latest album, Réponse Incongrue À LInéluctable, is a captivating and complex work of art. The French band's unique blend of progressive rock, world music, and ethereal soundscapes creates an immersive listening experience that is both haunting and beautiful.

The album's opening track, "Le Puits," sets the tone with its swirling synths, intricate percussion, and soaring vocals. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a variety of moods and textures, from the dreamy "Mes Amis, Mes Frères" to the driving rhythms of "Les Malveillants."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Chronique Lointaine," which features guest vocals from Anneke Van Giersbergen. Her soaring voice adds an extra layer of emotion to the already powerful song.

Réponse Incongrue À LInéluctable is a masterful album that showcases Lazuli's unique sound and vision. Fans of progressive rock and world music will find much to love here, and even those unfamiliar with the band will be swept away by the album's beauty and complexity. Highly recommended.
