Nude <\/strong>is a progressive rock band that’s not ashamed to play with their tempo, instruments, vocals and mood. Working together for less than a decade, the group is made up of four musicians who are heavily influenced by such prominent alternative, indie and progressive rock bands like \u00a0Sonic Youth<\/a>, Radiohead <\/a>and Genesis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These four Frenchmen create a mix of moody prog and alternative rock with an overall moody and pensive vibe.<\/p>\n

This one is certainly worth a listen especially if you adore Tool and the other bands mentioned above.<\/p>\n

Love <\/strong>is the group’s debut album. They first released EPs back in 2003 and 2005 but finally climbed their way to releasing a full debut in 2008.<\/p>\n

Although this album is three years old, it’s still intriguing and definitely worth checking out. It opens with the 16 (!) minute long track, Gender Hacking<\/em>. If you love progressive rock, you can tell from the onset that this one will be a real treat. You don’t get any vocals until about the 5 minute mark and leading up to that is a beautiful mix of bass, synth, guitars and moody beats. Vocal work is similar to Maynard James Keenan<\/a><\/strong> which already wins props in my book. Even though this one is a bit long, it definitely sets the stage really well for the entire album.<\/p>\n

Other songs that are worth checking out include La Puerta,<\/em> which mixes a lovely Latin vibe to the cut. It’s also sung in Spanish, which adds to the psychedelic rock feel of the song. Meanwhile, Pi<\/em>, is also another awesome cut. It runs for about 11 minutes and true to form for Nude; the song mixes instrumentals with subdued vocal work.<\/p>\n

Although there’s a danger from the group sounding as if they are trying too hard to achieve a Tool or Muse-like sound; there are several tracks in the record that will certainly make true blue “progists” smile.
