Pioneers of the new generation of Greek progressive rock, Athens' La TULIPE NOIRE present a tightly woven tapestry of sonic pastels which never really escape beyond the bounds of their self-imposed prison. This talented line-up performs a refined and quiet progressive rock that develops baroque and solemn melodies.
On this, their third album, I'm not certain "progressive" is the right word. Maybe "static rock" would be better, for within the music of "Faded Leaves", I discern no audible wish to advance very far beyond the perfectly intoned Floyd-esque guitar lines of the '70s; or the cheesy Roland string-synth pads of the '80s. Quickly pick this rare flower, it will nicely decorate your secret garden devoted to progressive rock.
Bio update:
After seven albums and 20+ years, LA TULIPE NOIRE have announced that they are no more in October 2017. The band's founder, Hyde, announced that rare and unpublished material will continue to be released through / tulipenoirehydeandseek
