Contrepoison
I Keep On Searching
Contrepoison is making music for the New Dark
Age; this is a solo Project of Pierre-Mark Tremblay and he’s doing
some of the most obscure electronic music. He has managed to create
some eerie atmospheres with some strong psychological effect, and at
the same time he has made tracks with clean execution and great
rhythm. He has developed a really interesting sound, and his music
captured my attention instantly. Contrepoison is pretty interesting
and this is a 2014 EP released by Avant! Records.
“Every Dream I Have Is About You” is dark,
ominous, and cinematic; it could fit very well in some movie by Dario
Argento. And then “I Keep On Searching” enter with all of that
80’s feel of the underground scene. The voice and the synths here
made me think in some sinister version of Visage. “No Need To
Dream” goes deeply into musical experimentation; a twisted
combination of New Romantic sound and Power Electronics, really
hallucinating indeed. “Nectar Of Destiny” is powerfully
introspective; and is like a desperate scream coming out from a
gloomy atmosphere.
Music like this is very hard to describe, but
is so interesting and captivating in its own unique way. Definitely I
want to listen more songs from Contrepoison.
