Charlie Pierron Bizouard, Antoine Hardy, Tim Robin and Charles Dum are four friends that got together in late December and created Space in Bloom. Their four-song EP Excursion is influenced by two contemporary artists like Mac Demarco and Tame Impala as well as classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin, The Who and Pink Floyd.
I could clearly hear both areas of influence starting with the first track “Slowdown.” The song starts with reverb filled guitar and gothic chants. It’s very meditative and ethereal and soon enough lead vocals come in. I was expecting the quick change where they bring in some funk and classic rock. The band submerges into serene soundscapes not unlike something you would hear from from Pink Floyd before going back again. The band explore soundscapes on “The Island.” It’s very cosmic, serene and hypnotic. That being said they provide a good amount of energy. Take for instance the impressive bass work which keeps the energy kinetic. They do an excellent job finding pockets to rock out in. They resurrect the ghost of Jim Morrison on “The Candyman.” The lead vocalist has a similar inflection on this song and the song also sounds similar to The Doors. On that note, they often cross over into Pink Floyd territory. The band closes with an almost eight-minute song entitled “Excursion.” It’s very The Dark Side of the Moon. The song is also catchy and goes in a number of different areas most of which feel epic and embrace reverb laced guitars. The band has some serious talent. They are wearing their influences on their sleeve but as they progress I’m inclined to think that a more signature sound will emerge. This is a good start and I look forward to hearing more.
