But if these influences are very present, they are never invasive because Parisians have a universe of their own.Īnd if it is impossible not to succumb to Natalia's crystalline and lyrical voice, it is also necessary to underline Vincent's exceptional work. This alchemy gives the duo's music a singular beauty whose apparent serenity is often contradicted by a haunting melancholy.īetween atmospheric post-rock and progressive pop, Venice May's compositions describe immersive and bewitching soundscapes whose aesthetics are reminiscent of A Perfect Circle (the beautiful 'Only I Will Remain' and 'Hiding Place' and the magnificent 'Limerence'), Anathema ('Mr & Misadventure'), Clannad ('A Mouse And A Snake') or Cocteau Twins ('XYZ'). This first album of the Parisian group is indeed the result of the musical osmosis between the angelic singing of Natalia Samofalova and the aerial guitars of Vincent Bedfert which highlight each other with as much power as delicacy. For if Venice May is first and foremost the story of a couple, it is also the story of a musical duo whose first born "Illusion Is Inevitable" is the striking proof that a common passion can engender great and beautiful successes.

Lee is already familiar to the band and a fully paid up part of the Galahad family having been the band’s bass player from 2005 to 2009 and appearing on one of their most critically and commercially successful albums ‘Empires Never Last’ as well as on a couple of live albums. ‘Seas of Change’ is also the first album to feature Lee Abraham on all guitars following his re-joining of the band in the Spring of 2017. ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘Seas of Change’ is a kind of hybrid in terms of musical style, featuring more traditional, occasionally pastoral, elements reminiscent of the ‘older’ Galahad sound whilst also incorporating the heavier guitar and more modern ‘techno’ keyboard sounds of the last few studio albums. We at Galahad Towers are very pleased and proud to announce the release of our new studio album ‘Seas of Change’, which is the follow up to the 2017 ‘Quiet Storms’ album which contained fifteen short(ish) tracks and was a much more mellow affair whereas ‘Seas of Change’ is the polar opposite and consists of just one forty three minute track, which twists and turns creating, what we think is, a full on no holds barred prog/rock rollercoaster of an album.
