On their 2020 debut album Embrace, French trio Keep Dancing Inc made a big entrance and introduced themselves as one of the most fun and exciting bands around with their brand of effortlessly cool synth pop. Now they are back with the sophomore LP A Taste Of Possibility, on which the group doubles down on everything, resulting in an even better record.
It is a vibrant and eclectic album that showcases Keep Dancing Inc’s stylish mix of electronic, indie, and pop influences. The trio, consisting of Louis de Marliave, Joseph Signoret and Gabrielle Cresseaux, creates a musical landscape that is both contemporary and nostalgic, drawing inspiration from various musical eras. The use of synthesizers, coupled with guitar riffs and dynamic vocals, makes a rich and layered sonic experience. Starting with the brilliant instrumental “96” the band sets the mood after which 41 minutes go fast and in one breath.
Lyrically, A Taste Of Possibility continues the path of Embrace and keeps on exploring themes of love, self-discovery, and the complexities of modern life. The group’s lyrics often have an introspective quality, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences while dancing to the upbeat rhythms. It can be both uplifting (“Radio”, “A Taste Of Possibility” or “You’re My Healthiest Addiction”), and slightly sad (“Can’t Get You Out Of My Mind”, “Pollination Nation Invasion” or “Chinese Town”) at times, creating a beautiful and melancholic mood. Outstanding album that is perfect for repeated listening.
