8/10
Listen to Nous sommes dans un rêve
Train Fantôme is Lise Dua and Antoine Nouel, a pair of French artists who play a curious brand of stylish folk, pop and indie-rock across these 8 very distinct and creative tracks.
“Pour s’aimer comme avant” starts the listen with a calm, dreamy version of indie-folk that’s musically bare and vocally harmonic in a psychedelic sort of way, and “Tu ne partiras jamais” follows with a poetic and atmospheric blend of beauty and warmth as the duo work together cautiously.
At the halfway point, “Labyrinthus” recruits effective synth amid the haunting climate, while “La ruine” presents an almost lullaby approach to the soothing folk-pop that seems familiar but is actually quite unique.
Advancing towards the end, “Sors de mon coeur” shimmers with cultured melodies amid some of the best singing present, and the title track exits the listen with light drums and well timed keys amid the soft, wispy vocals.
Certainly minimal and often bordering on angelic, once again the Cudighi Label familiarizes us with a band we’ve never heard of, but can’t wait to hear more from.
