Noir – Darkly Near

Surprising Newcomer

Best dark­wave sound with a deep voice and strong elec­tron­ic arrange­ments and melod­ies. After all the album is still a moun­tain and val­ley ride. There are some really strong songs on this record. Absolutely ador­able songs, but some total fail­ures as well.

A promising debut

Especially worth listen­ing to the songs are 'My Dear', 'Timephase' and the gor­geous, dark cov­er of The Cure's 'A Forest'.

The bit­ter val­leys on this record are the songs 'The Voyeurs', that sounds like a demo ver­sion to me, and even more the song 'The Tragics' that remind me at some 70s eso­ter­ic exper­i­ment­al sound.

But I think a debut album must have some rough edges and sound a bit raw, so that their is enough air for increase. If you love dark­wave music, then I def­in­itely can recom­mend you this album.
