Commençons cette chronique par sa conclusion ...
Si ce n'est déjà fait, retenez bien ces trois noms : Kaloyan Ivanov, Yasen Penchev, Angel Draganov.
3 personnalités, désormais incontournables, le meilleur d'une scène Bulgare (et pas que) qui a, depuis quelques années, décidé de truster les avant-postes d'un renouveau musical véritable.
Troisième réalisation, et seconde pour le label Mahorka, 23/24 confirme l'intention pour TFSL de réinventer un prog-rock novateur, genre pour lequel aucun avenir n'était à priori prévisible.
Au printemps 2018 sortait le magistral III et TFSL devint, dès lors, une aventure sonore largement plébiscitée par les oreilles les plus insatiables.
Éponyme, le track "23/24" est en mesure de provoquer une furieuse envie de réserver votre embarquement immédiat à bord du prochain vol pour Sofia. Enregistrement live durant une session radio, crescendo retenu dont l'intensité rythmique flirte volontiers avec toutes les nomenclatures du paroxysme, cette capsule supra-guitaresque permet l'utilisation de nombreux superlatifs - Suite logique, "Voyager" précise l'extrême rigueur de Kaloyan Ivanov, capturée talentueusement par Mei Dark (My Fury) dans le cadre d'un projet audio-visuel d'envergure.
Défricheur d'espaces sonores, désir stylistique de poursuite, "The Tale For The Tales" est puissamment évocateur. Bande son d'un film fuyant son scénario, l'accélération et la vitesse comme seules issues.
S'il faut enfin conclure cette chronique par une introduction, il se pourrait que la double variation harmonique de "Heartily" puisse aisémment en construire le prequel, les fondations d'un futur classique.

If not already done, remember these three names well: Kaloyan Ivanov, Yasen Penchev, Angel Draganov. Three personalities, now unavoidable, represent the best of a Bulgarian (and beyond) scene that, for the past few years, has decided to dominate the forefront of a true musical revival.
The third creation, and second for the Mahorka label, 23/24 confirms TFSL's intention to reinvent innovative prog-rock, a genre for which no future was initially foreseeable. In the spring of 2018, the masterful III was released, and TFSL became, from then on, a sonorous adventure widely praised by the most insatiable ears.
The eponymous track, "23/24" has the power to trigger a strong desire to book your immediate embarkation on the next flight to Sofia. Recorded live during a radio session, with a restrained crescendo whose rhythmic intensity willingly flirts with all the paroxysms of nomenclatures, this supra-guitaristic capsule allows for the use of numerous superlatives. As a logical continuation, "Voyager" underscores Kaloyan Ivanov's extreme precision, skillfully captured by Mei Dark (My Fury) as part of an ambitious audio-visual project.
A pioneer of sonic spaces, a stylistic desire for pursuit, "The Tale For The Tales" is powerfully evocative. It serves as the soundtrack for a film escaping its script, where acceleration and speed are the only outcomes.
If we must finally conclude this chronicle with an introduction, it could be that the double harmonic variation of "Heartily" could easily construct its prequel, laying the foundations of a future classic.
