Our Take
Our Take
Swapping out synths for stress, Benoit Widemann takes us on a manic journey with his latest album aptly titled "Stress!" The French musician dives headfirst into the chaotic world of anxiety and tension, creating a whirlwind of sound that is as exhilarating as it is unnerving.
From the frantic beats of "Panic Attack" to the frenzied melodies of "Nervous Breakdown", Widemann masterfully captures the experience of spiralling out of control. Each track is a rollercoaster of emotions, with layers of dissonance and discord adding to the sense of unease.
But amidst the chaos, there are moments of clarity and beauty. The haunting vocals on "Anxiety Dream" offer a brief respite from the madness, while the delicate piano notes on "Calm Before the Storm" provide a moment of tranquility before the storm hits once again.
Stress! is a challenging listen, to be sure. But if you're willing to embrace the chaos and let yourself be swept up in the madness, you'll find a truly unique and mesmerising experience. Benoit Widemann may not have made an easy album, but he's certainly made a memorable one. Just remember to take a deep breath and try not to let the stress get to you.
