Carré, Urgency Review
Carré is a LA based French trio that seeks to create a psychedelic and unparalleled experience for listeners as each member of the band brings his own inspiration to the table. Created by its three members in 2019, Carré is Organic: Julien Boyé – (drums, percussion, vocals), Electronic: Jules de Gasperis – (drums, vocals, synths, production and mixing), and Psychedelic: Keveen Baudouin – (guitars, vocals, synth and production). Together they create electronic music by blending aggressive, dark and chaotic elements with hypnotic drum loops inspired by the psychedelic, electronic French touch. “The making of our band started with this whole idea of having two drummers perform together. It felt like a statement.” says Jules. “We always wanted to keep people moving and tend to focus on the beats first when we write.” The deep rhythmic pocket is the key to Carré’s contagious sound. The trio is now releasing “Urgency” on Nomad Eel Records, their second single from their forthcoming self-tiled EP.
Positives: Carré brings fresh edgy dark rock sound to the EDM scene. With live instrumentation, featuring two drummers, they blend aggressive sound with elements of electronica to create a sound tapestry to move your body to and enjoy. Bottom Line: “Urgency” is built around a techno beat that is layered upon to create a music journey throughout your subconscious. Words from Terence McKenna are hovering over a bed of electronic textures leading you through a meditative daze establishing a unique transcendental taste. With lyrics that highlight an element of provocation, and freedom of perception, “Urgency” is all about conception, abstraction and distortion of reality. Inspired by a surrealistic outlook on the world the music conjures geometrical shapes and patterns. The energy of the two drums can be heard. Midway through the track, the feel is released and brought back with a vengeance. This leads us to the vocals; the vocal doubling is hip and the feel is excellent. The different instruments, sounds and sample accentuate the feels. Although the feel evlolves over time, the dance element is never lost. Creative music to shake the body to; that’s the short of it!Connect with Carré: Website |
