strong spot : atmosphere, songwriting
weak spot : nothing too obvious
After their stunning album in 2009, Fen are back again with a new masterpiece full of haunting and beautiful melodies. The pagan spirit is once again present in large doses and the performance is raw but quite sophisticated. There is also a psychedelic/post-rock touch in most of the songs, similar to bands like Sigur Ros or Mogwai. Fen's melodies are not sweet, pop and cheesy, like in some of the tracks by Amesoeurs, Alcest or Lantlos.Their music is simple,dreamy and calm without being naive. The screaming vocals are extremely expressive and the clean vocals are slightly better than in ''The Malediction Fields''. Fen is the only band of this genre that charms me to such an extend and really takes me to a magical journey. Serene, peaceful, enchanting, magnificent.
