Quand me réveillerai-je ? is a raucous blend of noise, punk, and ultimately comes forth as a mélange of Muse, Radiohead, and Oasis. Qui le fera ? is able to push further, coming forth with a vocal / instrumental dynamic that creates a wall of sound assaulting listeners. Quand la Nuit Tombe sur Nous is a favorite as it allows the band to take on a more Spanish / flamenco sound before providing additional layers of fuss. Taken together, these five tracks do well in telling a story about this band that will hopefully be fleshed out with a full-length.
