Kristian R. A stunning album. An amazing band. Hard to pick a real "favorite" track on that one. No matter which one I pick, I usually end up with it in endless look. Great. Favorite track: Lost Spirits.

Michel Dudecek Absolutely love this! Touches deep inside upon every listen regardless of what mood I'm in. Just wish my favourite track Paris, TX could have gone on a lot longer. Otherwise a sensual, soft and seductive sound will keep you embraced all the way through. Merci Opale. Favorite track: Paris, TX.

rousstong It blows my mind! Poetic and energetic. Brillant! Favorite track: Sparkles and Wine.

Cric On ne peut s'empêcher de taper du pied quand on écoute Hold You Tight. Et cette voix envoutante... Favorite track: Hold You Tight.

abediali Contains two of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
Sparkles and Wine and Les Champs Magnétiques. It's like they speak my soul's language. Favorite track: Les Champs Magnétiques (Luminous Version).

about

VINYL LP limited to 300 copies + free DL Cards inside available at : stellarkinematics.tictail.com/product/opale-lincandescent

In opal fields, you first have to pierce through layers of rock to discover the black fire gem. Obscure and spectral artefact, Opale's first album 'L'incandescent' peeks up discreetly from a subterranean land, and gives to see a coherent, concise and longitudinal sound object. A single direction is withheld during the whole thirty-five minutes, graciously and icily upheld with a band of cold and melancholic analog keyboards, but also soft and haunting voices (English, French and Spanish). Following their first EP (released under the name Playground on Stellar Kinematics in 2012 and including a collaboration with Ensemble Economique's Brian Pyle), Sophia Hamadi (Paris) and Rocio Ortiz (Paris/Madrid) inscribe many beautiful and dense things within the short development of 'L'Incandescent'. They install a shadow-ridden, humid and almost metallic background (Paris TX, Les Champs Magnétiques), forming their own interpretation of a contemporary spleen with a voluntarily diminished chromatic nuance. Nowhere to go and nothing to feel.
A single story is developed over the eight tracks of the album, sometimes torn between stellar and subterranean poles, but also exploring the corners of cities of light (Sparkles and Wine, Cutting Edge), and take the listeners on a trip that might well be their last (Delusion 44). Despite appearances, this first album contains the distinctive signs of a heart of light and sound, resolutely turned towards big spaces, where any sun beam will warm you up (Hold You Tight) and bring back the dead (El Oscuro Deseo, Lost Spirits). The dusty ground is elevating, and waking up the lost spirits

the title states it all, I believe we all have people in our lives that we shouldn't love bc they don't love us back or perhaps not as much as we love them no matter, love in and of itself is sometimes the reward as this ep is!! I can't get enough!! Manikinzero

This album is so fierce. I cannot even begin to describe how much I love "A Realness"... It carries a sense of somber reality and bittersweet tragedy. --N--
