fago.sepia — L'Âme sûre ruse mal

Glancing at the bandpic on the right reading me claiming fago.sepia to be mathrock may raise an eyebrow or two. And yes, you should forget about the Psyopus's, Orthrelm's and The Dillinger Escape Plan's of this world.

This outfit apparently performs sitting down and it suits their music just fine, as it's not at all music to mosh to. Sit down and listen to the instrumental rock with a touch of jazz. Never over the top in any respect, neither in complexity or agression. Tortoise would be a reference point although these French guys show a different approach, but the vibe (but no vibes) is similar.

fago.sepia is a perfect group for people that like intelligent rock, without too much testosterone or hysteria usually coming with math rock and enough activity to not lull you asleep. It will not change the world, but serves a pleasurable thirty minutes.
