Album Review: French Rockets - Arc

What a welcome surprise!

There was always a sense that Perth shoegazers French Rockets hadn’t reached their potential, having scored a WAMI for their infinite-groove-surfing 1x1 split EP before seemingly vanishing without trace. Their resurgence five years later finds them stronger than ever, having mastered a tactical array of drones, feedback and industrial beats. Transitioning from the intense focus of Hypersigil to the melt-in-your-eardrums ambiance of Dream Cycle, Arc consistently achieves a higher state of consciousness and is the culmination of years spent fine tuning their art.
