West Wickhams return with the expansive EP Vivre Sa Vie, a nine-track release which encapsulates the band's signature blend of psychedelic-infused post punk and darkwave resonances. Exhibiting an experimental edge, the record unfolds a medley of nostalgic undertones and immersive atmospheres, with their compositional methods ranging from memorable to avantgardistic.
Among the EP' imposing entirety, The Maddening Crowd stands out as a sharp post punk piece, characterized by a relatively upbeat direction. Its mesmeric and haunting aura is crafted through eerie synth melodies, incisive guitar lines, and direct vocals, offering a moody and overall compelling creation which underlines the dark qualities of the duo's sound.
