'Sweet Beliefs', the third album by Paris based CYANN & BEN, is about "the whole", the experience, and it demands your attention right from the outset. It's an epic and yet intimate album that draws upon a wide variety of influences, giving the space rock template a Gallic makeover by adding a much needed romantic grandeur. But Cyann & Ben's Paris is not the one you see in 'Amelie', it's dirty, dark and stressful as much as beautiful - 'Sweet Beliefs', with its multi-layered and ambitious sweep, sounds as unsettling as it is irresistible. The nine songs on 'Sweet Beliefs' form a collection of noble but gritty beauty, its escapist enchantment anchored by a human frailty and vulnerability. 'Sweet Beliefs' was largely recorded in Paris at Vogue Studios, home of the legendary French label VOGUE, where legions of French stars of the 60s and 70s, including FRANCOISE HARDY, cut many of their classic albums.
