My Own Private Alaska - Amen (Album Review By Ninja)


"You know, I'm fucked- I feel no force in me, you know, at the end of the song...". The feelings of vocalist Matthiew "Milka" Miegeville as expressed at the end of "Anchorage" is what every serious musician should feel at the end of their creation. Along with bandmates Tristan Mocquet decimating the ivories and Yohan Hennequin superhuman on drums, there has been brought to life an album where every song, every song title speaks my life and I am entranced and amazed, one after the other, drowning in my own thoughts and feelings, my own force merging with this entity as I immerse myself in these sonic overtures and I am near to tears through the memories brought to the surfaces of my many seas at the call of the music, sounds and words that mirror the development of my own psyche; Hard, angry and slightly mystical in its discordance, this is not "Experimental"- this is a deliberate communication from the universe to all those willing to listen.
