Formed in 2009 at Geneva, Switzerland, Fluxious bring to the surface an intense blending of rock and metal with jazz elements, it’s more heavy than jazz, but still at the border of fusion and to make things a little bit exciting, guitarist Germain, bass player Guillaume and drummer Maxence put to the microphone a girl called Joana. “Why So Serious” is dynamic, heavy and kind of complex material, still it’s not bearish, it flows alright, hard rock moments are shifted by heavy riffings or melodious choruses, and Joana singing in the style and manner of Sandra Nasić (Guano Apes). 12 songs, good tempo and rhythm, some interesting turns and a few good themes, in short words this is “Why So Serious” about.
They explain their name: “In perpetual movement Fluxious derived from the spelling of fluxon which refers to particles similar to mesons in their manifestation.” And yes, their music is kind of fluid and very dynamic, pumping, shifting and changing, it’s kind of full of life. After released a first 4 tracks EP self-titled in 2009, this full-length debut is a good starting point for them.
