Suite of Rooms is the spellbinding new album by French musician, producer and songwriter Julienne Dessagne, aka Fantastic Twins. Based on the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, and reworked from her composition for a contemporary dance piece ‘Méandres,’ ‘Suite of Rooms’ is a mesmerizing odyssey of leftfield techno, exquisite kosmische, and vintage soundtrack atmospheres.
…Opener “The Ship of Theseus” has constantly switching tones (maybe alluding to the various replaced parts of the titular ship?) while Dessagne’s witchy chants abruptly switch register to fit the cubist style. Centrepiece “Labyrinths” creates high drama with rolling percussion in a way that you might call Zimmer-ish if Hans Zimmer hadn’t cheapened his own style so badly.
