Gong Expresso featuring Gong alumni Francois Causse, Benoit Moerlen and Hansford Rowe with guitarist Julien Sandiford’s unveil their new album, Decadence, on 20 February 2018. Says Hansford Rowe: Decadence’ is the title tune on the new Gong Expresso album. Here the word means ‘falling away. I hope this tune and all the music on the album somehow addresses this in an unadorned, direct way. When I play with these 3 musicians I am convinced there is something special happening, a coming together.
Track 1: Decadence HR: This tune explores a strong melody over multiple time signatures and key centers. As the title tune I hope it and the other tunes address in a positive way the decadence in western culture Julien and I see.
