"You will be confronted with an absolute acoustic art that moves between indie, psychedelic of the Pink Floyd brand with elements of lo-fi and not only stands for a musical talent - which characterized by a homogeneous and interesting songwriting or arrangement, but also by a certain versatility." - She Wolf Magazin

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.

With a markedly artificial aesthetic and elegiac lyricism, S+M provokes shades of season and sensibility. Lounged in reverberating dress, the cull of an innermost evening.

French Diseases of the Soul

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.

A Tenderness of Wolves

Deckard Croix

Buy track
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!
