Let the pagans and other grave desecrators tremble: Vox Low emerges once again as a messenger from the depths, ready to shake the foundations and carrying on its shoulders the weight of ancient legends of obscure mysteries. In their highly anticipated second album, Keep On Falling, the Parisians dare to don the ultimate sacred shroud of rock and roll mythology: Vince Taylor's black leather ski suit. The gang consists of Jean-Christophe Couderc (machines/vocals), Benoît Raymond (bass), Mathieu Autin (drums), and a newcomer: Jérôme Pichon (guitar) -- who oddly enough seems to use a box cutter blade instead of a guitar pick. To these preachers of anarchy, we must add one Aurélien Bonneau, whose role as the group's sound engineer -- a true wizard -- has become essential to the point of being a full-fledged member of the band. What seems to bind these renegades together is their fanatical devotion to Mark E. Smith and their passion for chaos. So, Vox Low releases their highly anticipated second album, following their flawless debut record in 2018. Keep On Falling was recorded in their secret batcave, located near the entrance of the Porte d'Aubervilliers on the dark border of the 18th arrondissement of Paris. One can notice a slight change in direction compared to their first album, perhaps with fewer club influences. In a macabre dance between shadow and light, each track on the album reveals an unexpected depth, inviting the listener to plunge into an enchanting trance. This work is more mature and fluid than their first opus, and Vox Low merges genres to create an enchanting blend of soaring krautrock, funereal post-punk, hazy dub, and minimalist rock and roll. While the tone may seem to harden, these scoundrels also appear in a more pop and strangely brighter light. Solitude, melancholy flesh, fervor for outlaws clad in a pair of blue jeans, and the taste of metallic blood in the mouth -- these are all the themes cherished by the post-punk bible -- here, they are all beautifully captured in a collection of songs about faith and devotion. Prepare to succumb to its enchanting power and lose yourself in the labyrinth of a captivating sonic ceremony.
