After “Way to Lhassa” released in 2013 and “Endless Mystery” in 2017, Siiilk, the band from Lyon is back with their third opus entitled “Eemynor.”
The nice introduction track that gave its name to the album, immerses the listener into the fantasy world of an ancient people exhausted by endless wars. The track is built into two parts like the two movements of an out of time symphony,
With the second track “Signs In The Sand” the listener slides into a more contemporary world where beauty is seeking to win over violence, doing so within three monotheist creeds, on its maybe utopian search for a lasting peace. Siiilk embarks onto this quest boldly.
The album then unfolds quite naturally with a rainbow of soft and meaningful sounding compositions depicting, as is customary with Siiilk, varied lanscapes filled with the emotiuons provided by the sounds of Gilbert Gandil‘s guitar, Jacques Roman‘s keyboards andand a new rhythm section composed of Guillaume Antonicelli on bass and Clément Vullion on drums (who joined the band in 2017. This blending of electric and acoustic instruments is enhanced by Richard and Catherine‘s voices).
The album ends with some ambient underwater sonorities generously given by Jacques Roman on his keyboards in “Number 9,” the track just before “Song For Syd” a moving and powerful tribute to Syd Barret, founding member of Pink Floyd, a band which , once again and quite deliberatly, provided Siiilk with one of its main source of inspiration.
