Covers work people, so fire up that MS Paint and take it seriously if you wanna catch eyes. That's why I gave this a few spins.

Gaspard is Gaspard Besson who is half of Yab-Yum and a driving force behind Peak Records according to Psyshop's little blurb. Based solely on the cover I would have to assume this is not a Taylor Swift side project discussing how her last boyfriend is gonna regret cheating on her.

 

And it isn't. One day you'll find the right guy Taylor. One day. Crazy thought, what if the right guy is really the right girl and you've been wasting time barking up the wrong tree?

 

But back on topic this is music for the night. His debut is kinda in between dark psy and night time full-on. The bass line is the star of the show here with plenty of noises chirping from the darkness. Melodies? Maybe a few, but don't expect to be carried away on a cloud by gay angels. More like shoved into a dark forest by a troll wielding a 7 inch blade. At least that's what its intent sounded like.

 

To be honest it bored the sh*t outta me. The days of making scary sounds as the monotonous bass line rambles on forever...I thought that f*cking ship sailed already. I could not differentiate track one from track...whatever. Since Sangoma is a sub-label of Timecode I expected more. A lot more. So...what this is is basically an eye catching cover with a sleeping pill inside.

 

Night night.

The problem with this subgenre (UK psytrance, UK full on, Doof style whatever you wanna call it) is that it's a totally overkill in big doses.

 

I have a shit-ton of releases in this style including this album and while it's great to listen to 1-3 tracks per time one whole album will bore me out like T2MU said. All artists sound the same and all their tracks sound the same as well.

 

As for the album it ain't bad, just mediocre. I wish it features more interesting bass, more aggressive and less funky. That would make a huge difference to this subgenre.
