Sweet Ermengarde is gothic rock in its original incarnation but they are no mere retro line-up, even if in particular the British 1980s decade is echoed in their music. They rather transpose their roots into modernism and thus manage to create a sound close to the pulse of time. The result is atmospherically dense, with plaintive echo guitars, epic soundscapes and a tight rhythm section.
