Vivianne Viveur know how to integrate inspiration and creativity in a song. Their psychedelic improvisations intend to change into powerful melodies and create an atmosphere that is dark, dramatic and theatrical and sometimes bursting into immense noise-eruptions. Every song seems to have a metaphor of style and feeling.The album is full of dissonants and contrasts by delicate songstructures on the one hand such as 'Princess' and 'Trembling' and on the other hand by songs of dark alienation such as 'Verlaine' and 'Elis And The Bad Moon'. Minimalism and drama are melting together with surrealistic atmospheres and develop some moments of authentic beauty.
“Vivianne Viveur have produced a breathtaking album “the art of arranging flowers” that portrays their darkly beautiful range of songs. Their poetic lyrics are encased in a delicately gothic sound, with surges of intensity that are overpowering. These songs are intricately crafted with keen musicianship and each one tends to twist into surprising transformations. Words and music are separate entities that fuse with each other in intense suggestions and unexpected atmospheres. A tense, constant alternation of melody and dissonance urges towards suspended places of imagination……".
Third up was Vivianne Viveur who played music that comes from a darkly beautiful place.
Their poetic songs were gothic and plaintive but could also be expansive and
intense. They provided us with a no frills, subtle performance and let the music itself
itself overtake our senses. Songs such as 'When the Wind is a Memory of You' were so
intricately constructed that they had a tendency undergo entrancing metamorphoses.
Vivianne Viveur are one of those unique, precious bands that defy categorization.
