A waltz in hell
The passage of time has become the major inferno of our society. No one wants to age and it becomes a distress that makes us unable to enjoy life’s evolution. Daäri is a duo that creates electronic music that returns us that anguish. Their album Lost in hell is place where fairy tales regain their dismal dimension.
That duo is Julie KéodäRy and Majorsluices and has a large number of influences. Their references range from the metal and mainly the European electronic bands and soloists such as Joy Division and New Order, Depeche Mode, Radiohead, Múm and Björk. Based in Paris, they debut lost in hell of a society that does not know where it goes but how it will end. Their proposal has a surround and hypnotic sound accompanying the child-like Julie’s voice. Her sweetness contrasted with a haunting music is a very exciting electro pop proposal.
Dreamer is a perfect opening to that universe of dreams that are on the verge of being broken. Echoes that come and go in a crescendo dense instrumentation with an eighties air. But the dreamer is finally lost in hell. Lost in hell, the title track, has an aura more curiously hopeful. Its melody and instrumentation give us an open space, like a sunrise full of sweetness. Trouble is a little bit sadder, like a sunset after a rainy day. The wet and empty streets give us a way to Hope, and the light beams come to us with some heat. The voice sounds scattered playing with the harmonies and whispering. The music is full of tenderness that makes us feel that the end of hell is near.

To be lost in Daäri’s hell is to let dreams grow up in search of paradise in all of us. So softly let finally the album back, caressing us in order to desire becoming lost in it again, in that inferno full of beautiful feelings sung in our ear to avoid they get lost on the road. .
