French duo O’o invites you to immerse yourself in their latest masterpiece, “Songs of Wishes and Bones,” a captivating album that explores the delicate balance between life, death, and the mystical unknown. This record showcases a significant evolution in O’o’s signature sound, presenting listeners with a collection of tracks that are both darkly alluring and exquisitely crafted. Victoria Suter’s vocals, often compared to the iconic styles of Kate Bush and Björk, serve as a guiding light through the album’s rich sonic landscape, narrating stories that resonate deeply with emotion and intrigue. Whether she’s delving into the poignant tale of a lovelorn octopus in “Tako-Tsubo” or conjuring the shadowy ambiance of “Scorpion,” Suter’s storytelling is nothing short of mesmerizing.
Mathieu Daubigné’s production prowess, influenced by innovative artists like Apparat, perfectly complements Suter’s vocal artistry. He constructs expansive electronic environments that are simultaneously cutting-edge and emotionally resonant. From the invigorating energy of “Arena” to the reflective introspection of “Barcelona,” each track on “Songs of Wishes and Bones” stands alone as a distinct and fully realized sonic universe.
The album masterfully navigates between moments of vibrant, danceable rhythms and serene, contemplative beauty. This inherent duality creates a compelling listening experience that persists throughout the entire album. Tracks like “L’orage” exemplify this, seamlessly merging pulsating electronic beats with classic French chanson influences, highlighting the duo’s remarkable versatility and profound emotional range. “Songs of Wishes and Bones” is more than just an album; it’s an invitation to explore a world of sonic wishes and intricate musical storytelling.
