*Dawn Of The Dusk* is the fifth studio album by the French trio Mars Red Sky, released in 2023. The album is available on coloured vinyl and showcases the band at their most experimental and conceptual to date. Musically, the album traverses the realms of heavy psych, stoner rock and psychedelic doom, with the band effortlessly fusing these genres into their own unique sound. It is a concept album in which the music tells the story and the vocals serve more as an accompaniment. The production is thick and cosmic, with spacious fuzz tones that have been a hallmark of the band since their formation in 2007. The album takes the listener on a journey through unpredictable and even unsettling sonic landscapes. The first half of the album offers the familiar heavy psychedelic doom for which Mars Red Sky is known, whilst the second half takes a more progressive and post-rock-oriented direction. This transition feels organic and demonstrates the band’s craftsmanship. The attention to detail is impressive, with recurring motifs woven throughout the album. Particularly striking is the use of acoustic elements, harmonica and even female vocals, which further enrich the experience. The album is regarded by critics as one of their strongest works, with scores reaching as high as nine out of ten.
