Our Take

Philippe Petit & Friends have reignited the avant-garde scene with their latest album "On Top". The French musician, known for his daring tightrope walks between skyscrapers, has successfully managed to capture that same sense of thrill and danger in his music.

The album opens with the track "High Wire", a cacophony of sound that feels like walking a tightrope without a safety net. With frenetic drum beats and soaring guitar riffs, Petit truly transports the listener to new heights.

Throughout the album, Petit collaborates with an eclectic mix of friends, including experimental artists like Thurston Moore and Lydia Lunch. Each track feels like a sonic experiment, pushing the boundaries of what is considered music.

Standout tracks include "Aerial Ballet", a hauntingly beautiful piece that feels like floating through the air, and "Vertigo", a dizzying mix of synths and distorted vocals that leaves you questioning which way is up.

Overall, "On Top" is a daring and exhilarating album that proves Philippe Petit is truly in a league of his own. So grab your headphones, take a leap of faith, and let Philippe Petit & Friends take you on a musical high wire act like no other.
