Sounds Like: Nocturne, sweaty, upset, on the border of black magic and bayous mud, you will be bewitched by THE BLIZZARD SOW nightmare pop spicy wreath. Made out of the Boppes brothers (21 and 25 years old), the project reflects a furiously original universe out of any fashion or « popular tune » concessions. On the second record, « Baagou music », few Ukrainian, Romanian, Hungarian and Neapolitan appear as guests. Recorded within a few days in a Sighet suburb barn, « Baagou music » is a good antidote for the insipid broadcasted by the whole world radios and televisions.
