Elane
Arcane 2
In an ever-changing world, six years mean a long time. So, it is even better to know that there are constants you can rely on. When you listen to the first sounds of ELANE's new album ARCANE 2 - their first LP album since 2011 -, time does not seem to have passed at all. Faithful to the line of one of their songs saying, "We're travelling through time" - from naught to sixty in the style so typical of ELANE. ARCANE 2 offers 14 completely new songs which, diverse and different though they are, follow a common thread: Catchy tunes and a story line which is narrated by the appeal and magic of Joran Elane's pop voice. Sometimes the arrangement of their music leans towards acoustical folk, another time more towards rock, being almost progressive, and yet another time towards world music crossovers. Last but not least, you'll be in for a few surprises too! In short, never before has Elane been as groovy as on ARCANE 2.
