<div class="post">
  <div class="message"><p>The band are enormously grateful for the very kind words from France's Museanima about their new album, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://bipolarexplorer.bandcamp.com/album/memories-of-the-sky" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><i>Memories of the Sky</i></a>. Read in its entirety <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.museanima.fr/bipolar-explorer-memories-of-the-sky/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">here</a> and see translation below: </p><p>Chroniques - Review<br><strong>Bipolar Explorer - Memories of the Sky</strong></p><p><i>Wanders in the Limbo of Slow and Powerful Music</i></p><p>The mental images impose themselves, gently, warmly. The music of Bipolar Explorer has always been this: an invitation to a spiritual and meditative journey filled with moments of grace and time electrified by these rare impulses of musical mystery. Memories of the Sky, these memories which will soon become ours, aims to be an offering to the beauty of the world and its beings. A firmament in the hollow of which the spoken words are both angelic and terribly motivating. Where field recordings place art in everyday life, in its time even though it goes beyond it without any difficulty, but always with respect. The sounds enter into a subtle depth (“Secret Life of Clouds”) or through electrified, ethereal and glistening sonics (“Hold My Soul”, “Holy Circle”). It is this alternation of sensations and instrumental and choral dictions which transforms Memories of the Sky into an enduring, long-form work, but continually carried by raw emotion, sometimes harsh but always meditative with a captivating beauty. We don’t go through the works of Bipolar Explorer in any casual way; because they touch us deep within our souls - so often lost but discovering, here - a beacon in the night of our sad daily lives. Memories of the Sky bears witness to its time and to our presences and absences, all that has been lost, all that remains, penetrating the mystery of an antediluvian faith and magical and magnetic inspirations.</p><p>Raphael Duprez, Museanima (France)</p><img src="//images.zoogletools.com/s:bzglfiles/u/391564/1fde0ff8c828444a9caa20e9d00216b1fc00ae4c/original/memories-of-the-sky-cover.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" height="3000" width="3000" /></div>
