Happy Like an Autumn Tree

French quartet Cyann & Ben create a dark and worrying universe tinted with melancholic beauty. Their debut album, Spring, was a hazy calliope ode. Happy Like an Autumn Tree continues to traverse the seasons with a captivating album that's as rich and beguiling as the fall's harvest, bearing the short-lived fruits between the summer's sweat and the winter's crisp chill. Happy Like an Autumn Tree is a hypnotizing collection of epic rock for our favorite season. "Cyann & Ben have little inclination to make you dance, so sit down and pay attention. This is viscous post-rock with a warm breeze blowing under its skirt. Impressively, it's an engaging listen as well." --Splendidzine
