"Gloria's Third Installment Embraces Psychedelic Revelry"
The Latest Album from III of Gloria: A Mind-Bending Trip Through the Ages
Strange prophecies of doom, meteorites crashing into cities, levitating icebergs, blood rain, empty coffins in the Pyrenees, union of witches from Morbihan - these aren't the agendas for Trump II's government, but just a snippet of the apocalyptic visions that III of Gloria etches onto your mind. This fantastic Lyon-based band, with a loyal but seemingly underappreciated following, paints captivating images with broad, bold strokes in their latest album - III.
Streaming platforms indicate the audience primarily hails from America, especially California. One of their memorable tracks, Beam Me Up from their debut album In Excelsis Stereo (released in 2016), found its way into the 2019 episode of the brilliant (yet largely underrated) occult-Pynchonian series, "Lodge 49," produced by AMC.
Their innovative project is a unique blend of insanity, birthed by the visionary mind of Alexis Morel Journel, alias Kid Victrola, the group's guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. Kid Victrola's dedication lies in the music and aesthetics of the 1960s, covering a range from girl groups to psychedelic rock.
Despite the band's connection to Lodge 49 remaining unclear, this dynamic group continues to captivate listeners with their eclectic fusion of soundscapes and mind-bending storytelling, transporting you to another era.
