French Progressive/Jazz-Rock band Free Human Zoo published the official video for the track “La Nef des Hommes de l’Ombre” taken from new album “The Mysterious Island” out on March 03, 2023 via Odusseia Music. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
“To discover an island space is always to discover oneself. The journey is equally sensory, a slow perception of the deep nature of the Elements, and a journey into one’s own inner self, our buried self. And this is all the more true when chance lands you there, at the mercy of the winds, or when, like Robinson, you have to find your own means of subsistence, the rebound necessary to any attempt at survival.
It is first of all the moment to summon the spirit of solidarity, the very spirit that will fertilise the relationship between Man and Earth, that will encourage the discoverers in their respectful appropriation of the Ecosystems, that will allow Cyrus, Spilett, Nab, Pencroff and Harbert, the shipwrecked men who have come from the sky, to remain “on their feet”, to revel in a land that becomes their nourishing island, to discover at last the identity of a host that is as mysterious as it is protective… Three years after “No Wind Tonight …”, we are particularly happy to present you this fantastic musical and human adventure that is “THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND”. Enjoy! – Free Human Zoo
