About:
Odalisque was introduced to us a few weeks ago with the song that brings the title of the album, constitutes the evolution of Church of the Sea. Dark electronic rock, combines the atmosphere of shoegaze with the weight of doom. Dreamy mood, is reflected in the ethereal vocals, but also in the distorted sounds of the guitar and the synths. Beats that contribute to building the atmosphere, in addition to simply determining the rhythm, by introducing unique sampled sounds, such as broken piano strings or the bow of a violin on a cymbal.
«Odalisque» is an ode to unfulfilled desire, wrong choices and the awareness that if we could go back in time, we would repeat exactly the same mistakes and participate again and again in the same sadistic dance with absolute consciousness.
