Haus Arafna "New York Rapsody

"New York Rhapsody" heralds the return of the shiny black Haus Arafna, just several months after the release of their magnificent album "You ".

Created and originally presented in September 2009 during the fashion week in New York to accompany the creations of fashion designer Katie Gallagher, "New YorkRhapsody" is the epitome of "the sound of abysses" , a deep unfathomable one, Darker Than Black.

12 new magnetic & ultra sombre compositions dress this new album , draped by the famous artfully reduced textures sound "Made in" Haus Arafna.

Here there is no "Screams & Shouts", imagine rather an album of " Haus Novelet ", combining perfectly the quieter pieces of Haus Arafna with the heady spleen of NovemberNovelet and you get "New York Rhapsody. "

Metallic down tempo percussions dressed by exquisite synthetic melodies , hypnotize on "45 Minutes In New York " and "God Sows Secrets".

We recover the singing filled of spleen of Mr & Mrs Arafna on almost all titles, accompanied by subtle nihilistic lyrics .

"You Know" captivates with its dark rhythmic pulse finely parasitized and plaintive voice.

Mrs. Arafna will take you on a shadowy "Give me strength" with addictive melodies of sorrow and an opaque "Desecrated" spitting his deaf and crawling percussive soundsoffset by elegant crystal analogical notes and her sweet voice.

The tone and rythm harden on "Heart Beats Blood Flows" , industrial anthem with striking pale glow !

The funeral "Ground Zero" populated by bloodcurdling distorted voices and dying sounds while "Poison" will enchant you distilling his soft venom ... desolation and death are there.

Special mention to "What You Said" which concludes admirably this beautifully tragic rhapsody.

"New York Rhapsody" is a creation made like we say in french "Sur Mesure" by the brilliant sound designers " Haus Novelet ".

So dare to enter a deep apocalyptic universe while remaining "well dressed ".

Analogical auditory orgasm "Haute Couture" guaranteed.
