TALISK

And the least we can say is that the energy, the exuberance of this young band has lost nothing over the years. An energy carried above all by the liveliness and ardour of Mohsen Amini and his concertina. A small instrument, yet so present in Talisk's music.

The ten tracks on their album take us from the drop of light just before Dawn to daylight, passing through all the stages of the solar star. The album opens with the swirling Aura, carried by Amini's impetuous concertina playing the central line, while Benedict Morris' fiddle and Graeme Armstrong's guitar unfold subtle interlacing around it. Surya, the Hindu sun god, follows as light and heat fill the morning sky. Mohsen and his accomplices are able to raise the sky with the breathtaking Aura and then return to moments of introspection on tracks like The Light of the Day.

More original on Lava, G. Armstrong's voice makes a daring appearance and brilliantly overcomes what was a rather crazy challenge. With Beast and Dystopia, the band pushes its limits even further, reaching deep explosions of energy.

Dawn distils a series of essentially dynamic and sometimes ethereal melodies. An album that shines with a fierce brightness, taking us on a wild ride in pursuit of the light, infusing the listener with the frenzy of these three brilliant musicians.
