So, the debut clip is online! Actually as a song about sins, have decided to remove and a clip on the same subjects. On a plot the young man forces down the girl and disappears from a scene of crime. Next day in the newspaper there is a publication about murdered girl. Here the hero also starts to panic and on road recollects all events. And musiciants in this case are something like its thoughts - chaotic and gloomy.

So, pre-review of debut album from french site Metalorgie.com:

Emerald Island, situated between Australia and Antarctica, discovered in 1821 then for ever lost, turns out to be the destination of +\-. Throughout a trip told through the words, the crossing of Moby Dick and Roméo and Juliette, the musicians try to put a sound more accomplished than them already very good EP. And, Emerald Island is airier than +\-EP : Indeed far from the torrent of blow without the slightest fresh breath of air, this first LP turns to a richer, less fervent sound.

So, when the Ukrainians detail their will to become soaked with a sound enter Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan or Poison The Well, it makes no doubt that they made a success of their bet. Without speaking about revolution or revelation, Plus\Minus appropriates tones without making them commonplace, injecting it enough personality so that compos marks profoundly certain parts of the brain. We could widen the circle of the influences to Every Time I Die and Norma Jean, in particular by some riffs (Fog Lights), going as far as dashing into vocal parts almost heavy (Mayday! Mayday! Mutiny Aboard) without error of taste, or in the last song (Nimrod Glacier) with an ending that brings rest...

Even when the more typical clear singing invites itself in the party (Brighter Than You I Light Up The Stars), nothing lets augur of bad moment: the Rock 'n' roll atmosphere is very present, with a Hardcore Metal feeling which never falls in an impersonal music. The successions of plans never hinder the listening, while allowing certain pieces to shine: Fog Lights for its explosive intro, Phoenix VS. Owls and its hammered tune or still the groovy Harlots Have Been Drained With Milk. We find the devastating madness of + \-EP through the battery of Henry The Hexapus, or the whole rhythm section, keeping in suspense until the last one assists of Tiger Peacock ou Empire.

Plus\Minus progressed well in 2 years. In passing of massive Mathcore in a more melodic sound, the combo raises itself in the right lined by the American scene, without abandoning nevertheless its touch of madness. Emerald Island possesses all the cards in hand to make speak about him, stays in the readers only to dash...
