WOLVEย delivers in providing a progressiveย atmosphere filled with plenty of fantastic melodies, post rock build ups and impressive musicianship.ย With open minds and some fine talent, their possibilities are opened up.
WOLVE, a wild pack with an instinctive approach and performance.ย Julien Sournacโs artistic vision is an uncompromising quest for authenticity.ย Unburdened by labels, he infuses his riffs in 90โs alt-rock, can unplug his amp and pick up anย accoustic guitar when it is the best way to sincerely represent his feelings in the moment. It is thanksย to this approach that ยซSleepwalkerยป, WOLVEโs first album written by Julien Sournac and co-producedย by Brice Chandler, has been lauded by the media (Music Waves, Neoprog, French-Metal, Koidโ9,ย Soilchronicles, CORE&COโฆ).
Dreams are voyages, from nothingness to a far away nowhere.ย ยซSleepwalkerยป is the chronicle of this voyage in three parts, at the limit of REM sleep.ย With ink diluted in jazz and ambient, WOLVE puts to paper and record the lives of its character on anย inexhaustible palimpsest. The wolves howl and the Sleepwalker doesnโt wake up. Not completely atย least…
The bandโs live formation, centered around Julien (guitar and voice), is completed by Alexandreย Aguilera (guitar), Hugues Lemaire (bass) and Simon Lemonnier (drums). WOLVE hunts its preyย during the ascent of its wall of visceral guitars, until it falls into an ocean put to sleep by the undulationsย of a final cadenza. This singular pack has opened for Fish and Arena, at the Ninkasi Kao (Lyon)ย and the Divan du Monde(Paris), before being invited to the famous ProgโResiste festival in Belgium,ย without ever letting go of its initial desire: to play ever more and continue moving ahead, ever closerย to the hearts of its prey.
