There is something absolutely differentiating Alkalys from any other post rock group evolving in the modern landscape. Something appealing, something real different that break apart with the genre, something anew stoned in their particular approach.
Since their debut 2007's selftitled album, Alkalys has nearly wanting to reach divinities with a music that sends the listener who deigns to care. Passing from various atmospheres, from coldness to torpor, with the same equal tendancy to like graves opened. 'Their music, hypnotic with constrated effects, which suggests wellness impressions with a color of oppression would easily be labeled as 'sensory music'". La murmure.
2009's 'Choeur delys' was this unneving and intriguing piece of music that installed underside soundscapes, partly restful and wide, from a band absolutely at ease with itself. An album of vaporous intensity balancing countenance and tonnage as long as tracks take off on their vigorous roamings. A post-rock band for sure yet willing to come along with a particular feel of weirdness and to set apart from the conventions. 'Choeur Delys, despite clear influences [...] remain true to its personality'. Noise mag.
Alkalys has grown and 2011's 'A pack of lies' would easily show a mature face to the audience. This is something to do about the line-up moves, according to the band words. Not only has the band refined their music even more, but even the ambient parts are more well constructed and new vocals, seemingly improvised and messy, are ghosts behind your backbone. Alkalys always consumes in processed machine of noise, erupting into sheets of frenzied cymbals and guitars and stepping from the low-lying space to the highest part of the mountain. 5-song staring deep into a real ascent. Alkalys escalates.
