In the nightmare of the dark all the dogs of Europe bark (W.H. Auden)
- twelve words to capture the character of The Sedan Vault
The Sedan Vault is a guitarBASSdrumsSYNTH band that sounds strange as The Mars Volta, angry like Black Flag, nocturnal as Nine Inch Nails, muddy like Barkmarket and nostalgic as Sigur Ros and the electronic Radiohead. Parallel to writings of G. Corso (Gasoline Vestal Lady on Brattle) and TS Eliot (The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock), The Sedan Vault depicts its music in a booming, nocturnal and mysterious style.
The debut album Mardi gras of the Sisypha contains six intelligent and innovating molotov cocktails, half melody half noise. In these songs the story of three different persons is told a kid, a whore and a pusher, who live in a godawful place where one can only mentally escape from. Haunted by holograms and delusions, an anaesthetising Zorn saxophone and devilish Dali atmospheres, these three Sisyphean figures turn inward upon themselves by dreaming of suicide, putting a Chinese spoon in the fire or painting occult writings on the town hall walls.
With most of the members having participated in the finale of Flanders well-known rock contest HUMOs Rockrally (2002) with their former band Mawkish, this new Indiecombo started from scratch with a musical experiment and delivered the goods to a live audience all over Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Cover art of Mardi Gras is part of the puzzle, as Antwerp painter Erik Valenteyn interpreted musical and lyrical themes in acryl and pencil on canvas. Lay-out by Enzo Stefano Attilio Scorpati.
