Free Music Notes for Vent Fou

Free Music Review: Stunning compositional virtuosity; difficult music.
Hit: 5 Stars

Listening to Vent Fou is like witnessing a mystical ritual that's frightening in its alien nature, but beautiful in an incomprehensible way. Jorane's voice goes from an angelic high croon on "Ineffable" to the ugly chants of "Monsieur Piment". On the hard-rocking, utterly nuts title track, she builds a mighty rhythm track with pounding drums (sounding like Shannon Wright), aggressive punk-rock vocals, and most impressively, a cacophonous, riffing cello that sounds every bit as muscular as a Metallica rhythm guitar.

This record is so incredibly strange that I don't play it very much. But it's a highly exciting record to listen to: The musical grounds it scales are simply exhilarating, like exploring an expressionistic world without a map or a guide. Definitely ear-opening and mind-bending.
