Review by Salma Fairuz

Univers Zero's album 1313 is a haunting and intricate work of avant-garde rock. The Belgian band's eighth studio album opens with the ominous "Les Voleurs d'Ombre," a brooding piece that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Throughout the album, the band's musicianship shines through in the complex and intricate arrangements, with each member contributing to the overall sound.

The album's centerpiece is the 25-minute epic "Phobia," which showcases the band's ability to build tension and create a sense of unease. The track features a range of influences, from classical music to jazz to rock, all woven together in a seamless tapestry of sound.

The album also features moments of beauty, such as the delicate piano and violin duet on "Rêve Cyclique." However, these moments of calm are always tempered by the looming sense of darkness and menace that pervades the album.

About Univers Zero

Founded in Brussels, Belgium in 1974. Disbanded in 1987 and reformed in 1999. Univers Zéro are to be associated with progressive rock and the undisputed creators of the genre known as 'chamber rock'. Getting their inspiration from such diverse sources as rock, jazz, European folk and classical music (both ancient and modern), they have forged a distinctive sound as well as influencing a vast number of contemporary avant-garde bands and ensembles. The band was formed in 1973 by drummer and trumpeter , with the original name of Necronomicon - though this was changed to Univers Zéro (after a book by Belgian novelist Jacques Sternberg) in 1974. At the time, their music was strongly influenced by electric jazz, though this changed when (reeds) joined the band.

Summary by Salma Fairuz

1313 is a challenging but rewarding listening experience. It's not an album that will appeal to everyone, but those who appreciate complex and unconventional music will find much to admire in Univers Zero's latest offering.

Parfois, vous vous retrouvez dans une chambre froide, sombre et vide. Fenêtres fermées, portes verrouillées. Vos yeux se sont adaptés à la petite lumière qui s'infiltre dans les trous des rideaux. Vous vous tenez au milieu de la pièce et vous êtes finalement devenu cette «entité» que vous aviez entraperçu dans un rêve étrange et pénétrant !
