Cicada is a five-piece and from Taiwan, that amazes the audience with their neoclassical music played on guitar cello, violins and piano. Their name as they claim, comes from the fact that cicadas are the kind of animal that is known more from how it sounds then how it looks. Isn't it a somewhat universal truth about any music band?
"White Forest" is a concept album that is supposed to be a tribute to animals, mostly the sea creatures like whales, dolphins, coral reefs and sea turtles but also to cats and mountain birds. Each track is devoted to one of the species, the uneven pace of "Dolphins Leap" imitates dolphins' movements (and is surely going to interest fans of the legendary soundtrack of "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain"), "Used to be Home" is a story of the ways the coast environment changes and "Whale Family" of, of course, a family of humpbacks.
Musical diversity on the album is noticeable but it's about the pace and melodies that fascinate with the ways to tell stories of things that are both important and tear-jerking. But despite the pessimistic message, the music is more lively than nostalgic, more energetic than scared of grave fate coming. As if it was to say that "life will prevail".
