The third album from this band from Canada.
The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, vibraphone, bass, guitars, moog, piano, keyboards and vocals.
The band got help from a dozen guests who provided bassoon, trumpet, saxophone, violin, cello, vocals and a choir.
I have just reviewed the debut album from Voivod. They too are from the French speaking part of Canada. And it has just occured to me that these French speakers of Canada more often than not release some really weird music.
The Quebec scene is a weird one too. That being side stepping the music on this album I am here reviewing.
Barrdo's first two albums was a weird take on Ange and Harmonium. They continue in the same vein here. The Beatles, Ange and Harmonium with some added chanson, jazz and folk rock. This is not a regular fare in my blog and through the speakers in my office.
The music is quirky and with some very good vocals.
There are some jazzy avant-garde stuff here too. That is adding quality and substance to this album. Most of the album is really melodic and the music is very good.
I am so far becoming more and more an admirer of this band. Two more albums to be reviewed....
