Breaking the chains and surfing with the white snake: this psychotropic has a name: DALAGAN

Californian wine, chancelant candles and dawn to a night of satin coming…(the young lady blushes…) …When you have exhausted all Whitesnake, these real filters of love, like so many petals of roses stroking her scented skin…And when even the last great King Kobra devilishly was the case, then this DALAGAN, what a feat! (the young lady agreed).

Switzerland but not stingy in light, powerful compositions with the “Vanderbergien” and “Satrianien” solos, LAZY DALAGAN, escaped virtuoso shredder from the M.A.I (where the other fine triggers have furbish weapons and fondled many hexagonal souls), prolix musician (author, composer, singer, guitarist and more) feeds his spirited music that balances, that grooves, which is the property there where it passes which slides alone in providing the same satisfaction as the last George Lynch, in brief, all good.

Navigating between the 80’s type hard rock and a more sharp metal (“Fear” or “Do It Now”), more “Germanic” in its sharpness and in vocal and rhythmic lines, we balance here even between a Dokken who would have found his superb and a softer but still dangerous Accept….

Catchy in its fur (look well at the bottom, it hides a diamond) and sexy in its swaying hips DALAGAN (welding band) is known to be more venomous (the title “Miracle”, just “Schadenfreude”), adventurous and spirited (“Chase Off My devil”, the iron Virgin lying in the corner…), and also convene some (too) anonymous ghosts of the past (the franco-American XYZ group) both survive this delicate European charm and at the same time this Californian candor arises as a combo to be followed very closely (wish him wider exposure in the meaning and media & recommend him a more voluntary approach regarding his rather anorexic official sites…), an initial appointment which will call the next ones (for sure, the young lady likes that).

Immediate pleasure with these concise compositions which quickly find the way to our hearts and memories, efficient refrains and luminescent riffs (“Halloween” and its fiery solos), while here is sensuous and biting, hot as embers, incisive like the moon on our cleared body, this night, you and me on the sand listening to the ocean, listening… (“Change The World”, and this bluesy solo incandescent). Sensual but warrior scratches are also embracing all, and the song “Killing to feel Alive” still once distils a dear spirited atmosphere to Dave Murray and others, like Adrian Smith.

Lazy (in fact, lazy not at all!) neither one-armed (hé hé), he brews the best out of the six-string, and he intersects landfills revered electric former Van Halen or Deep Purple (“Wild White Horse”) and one drowned in the inmost depths of a “Zeppelinnesque” metal (“Fade Away”).

Then finally he wakes, approved but pleased, because this meeting by chance shows seeds of happiness, and this chance, unhoped Kiss, leave on your face eternally a radiant smile (the young lady embraces me). Gold bar, this DALAGAN’s album is a beautiful surprise (very beautiful package but also could take ownership of the second album of the Lillian Axe, without the slightest problem), positively essential and musical vitamin that will make your life much more enjoyable.

And it is in free sale.
LAZY DALAGAN, dealer of happiness…
