"The songs invite the listener on an inner journey, as when the tracks Oliveira and Gentle Nudging are painted in esoteric tones that engulf the audience within the music and make it an almost magical experience." - Indie Italia

“The alternative mystique of Kingdom of Revolution brings us back to the historical or topical underbelly of the writing, a stripped-back and sultry contemplation provoking deeper interest in these stories and images.” - Stereo Stickman

Croix's second sound montage release through Tachisme Records (Bocca di leone being the first) leans slightly closer to convention, focusing less on incidental sound and more on progressive electronica. Originally recorded in 2016 under indeterminist conditions, it has been pieced together (both conceptually and structurally) over time. It is here, this metamorphic sojourn through the invention of time.

French Diseases of the Soul is a three-part stellar nursery of dark frigidity. Bookended by two sprawling ambient excursions, the innermost track is spare art rock in the psychedelic songwriter vein. Sister album of Noncommunication of the Cephalopods.

This latest single (anticipatory of the upcoming psychedelic rock album, Cosmospine), is Croix's usual blend of angular structures and acid western guitar coiled with sinuous lyrics. Perfidious convention!

"Listening to the guitar solo just past the three-minute mark & the ferociously gritty tone & depth that comes with the music for the next thirty to forty seconds or so…I mean…THAT is the real magic right there if you ask me." - Sleeping Bag Studios
