<p>One of the great strengths of psychedelia is its ability to take on many different forms.</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s start with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/blondebill">Bill Baird</a>&rsquo;s "Life Creates Itself" (Royal Oakie Records)&hellip; For the past twenty years or so, this American musician has been brilliantly exploring various facets of this genre, and this new album perfectly encapsulates all his talent&hellip; Straddling pop, rock and folktronica, Bill Baird has never wanted to choose between them, and therein lies his greatness &hellip; The 10 tracks here unfold a narrative of shifting contours, yet this music stands firm within the currents of psychedelia thanks to sincere, inventive songwriting devoid of pretension &hellip; As youthful as it is time-worn, this music is everything we need in these frenzied times&hellip; A restorative balm&hellip; To be applied without moderation.</p>
<p>At the other end of the spectrum, let&rsquo;s take a look at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/babazulaofficial">Baba Zula</a>&rsquo;s &lsquo;XXX&rsquo; (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Glitterbeat">Glitterbeat Records</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/modulormusic">Modulor</a>)&hellip; For some thirty years, the Istanbul-based ensemble led by Murat Ertel has been sketching out a psychedelic landscape as fragmented as it is unique&hellip; There are no futile attempts here to bridge East and West; the stakes are far deeper&hellip; With their meandering structures, where the expansion of time blends with the amplification of resonances, Baba Zula&rsquo;s songs constantly journey to the heart of the impossible union between the organic and the ethereal; the majesty of this work also lies in its acceptance of its intrinsic fragility &hellip; Here, the vocals do not call the shots; above all, they listen &hellip; Here, then, there is no conventional songwriting; the journey takes precedence and is always revealing &hellip; As haunting as it is powerful, this music is also feverishly contemporary &hellip; Enjoy !</p>

<p>[fran&ccedil;ais]</p>
<p>Une des grandes forces du psych&eacute;d&eacute;lisme est de pouvoir se d&eacute;cliner en multiples propositions.</p>
<p>Commen&ccedil;ons par le "Life Creates Itself" (Royal Oakie Records) de Bill Baird ... Depuis une vingtaine d'ann&eacute;es ce musicien am&eacute;ricain explore avec brio quelques facettes de cette musique et ce nouvel album synth&eacute;tise &agrave; merveille tout le talent du monsieur ... Entre pop, rock et folktronica, Bill Baird n'a jamais voulu choisir et c'est l&agrave; toute sa grandeur ... Les 10 chansons pr&eacute;sentes ici d&eacute;roulent donc un r&eacute;cit &agrave; g&eacute;om&eacute;trie variable mais cette musique se tient pourtant bien droite dans les brises du psych&eacute;d&eacute;lisme par la gr&acirc;ce d'un songwriting sinc&egrave;re, inventif et sans esbrouffe ... Aussi juv&eacute;nile que travers&eacute;e par le temps, cette musique est tout ce dont nous avons besoin en ces temps hyst&eacute;ris&eacute;s ... Un baume r&eacute;g&eacute;n&eacute;rateur ... A appliquer sans mod&eacute;ration.</p>
<p>D'un autre c&ocirc;t&eacute; du spectre, retrouvons le "XXX" (Glitterbeat Records, Modulor) de Baba Zula ... Depuis une trentaine d'ann&eacute;es le combo stambouliote emmen&eacute; par Murat Ertel dessine un contour aussi &eacute;clat&eacute; que singulier du psych&eacute;d&eacute;lisme ... Pas de vaines tentatives de faire un pont entre Orient et Occident ici, l'enjeu est autrement plus profond ... Constructions serpentueuses o&ugrave; se m&ecirc;lent dilatation du temps et hypertrophie des r&eacute;sonnances, les chansons de Baba Zula voyagent constamment au coeur de l'union impossible entre l'organique et l'&eacute;ther et la majest&eacute; de ce travail tient aussi au fait d'en accepter la fragilit&eacute; intrins&egrave;que ... Ici, le chant n'est pas maitre du jeu, il est avant tout &agrave; l'&eacute;coute ... Ici, pas de songwriting classique donc, le chemin prime et est toujours r&eacute;v&eacute;lateur ... Aussi lancinante que puissante, cette musique est elle aussi fi&eacute;vreusement contemporaine ... Enjoy !</p>

<p>A thoroughly successful comeback for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/juliajacklin">Julia Jacklin</a> with *The Gem* (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/fourad">4AD</a>, Beggars).</p>
<p>With this debut album for the legendary 4AD label, the Australian musician further cements her mark on a genre that has, admittedly, been well-trodden &hellip; Alternating between taut pop-rock tracks and ethereal ballads, this music is, above all, imbued with a sense of freedom as intense as it is unrestrained &hellip; Here, the framework is neither ignored nor idolised; instead, it is taken along for the ride so that it can expand nobly in time with the adventures ahead &hellip; We move forward unhurriedly but with our hearts firmly anchored, and Julia Jacklin&rsquo;s songwriting can then unfold unhindered, supported by a handful of brilliant musicians who effortlessly fall in step with these ambitions &ndash; as timeless as they are fiercely essential... The subtle majesty of Julia Jacklin&rsquo;s vocals wins us over completely, and these 10 songs take root within us without warning &hellip; Human, yet never too human &hellip; Enjoy !</p>

<p>Retour pleinement r&eacute;ussi de Julia Jacklin avec "The Gem" (4AD, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BeggarsFrance">Beggars</a>).</p>
<p>Avec ce 1er album pour le l&eacute;gendaire label 4AD, la musicienne australienne assoit un peu plus sa marque sur des terres pourtant amplement foul&eacute;es ... Alternance de chansons pop-rock justement tendues et de ballades suspendues, cette musique est avant tout impreign&eacute;e d'une respiration aussi libre qu'intense ... Ici, on n'ignore ni ne v&eacute;n&egrave;re le cadre, on pr&eacute;f&egrave;re l'emmener avec soi pour qu'il se distende noblement au rythme des aventures envisag&eacute;es ... On avance ainsi sans pr&eacute;cipitation mais le coeur fermement accroch&eacute;, et la qualit&eacute; du songwriting de Julia Jacklin peut alors se d&eacute;ployer sans entraves, appuy&eacute;e par quelques brillants musiciens se mettant facilement au diapason de ces ambitions aussi intemporelles que f&eacute;rocement indispensables ... La subtile majest&eacute; du chant de Julia Jacklin emporte d&eacute;finitivement l'adh&eacute;sion et ces 10 chansons s'accrochent en nous sans crier gare ... Humain, jamais trop humain ... Enjoy !</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s time to pay tribute to the musical activist Nate Amos with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nateamosthisislorelei">This Is Lorelei</a>&rsquo;s "The Singer In My Band" (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/MatadorRecords">Matador Records</a>, Beggars).</p>
<p>Alongside brilliant collaborative projects (My Idea, Water From Your Eyes), this American musician has been pursuing a solo career under the name This Is Lorelei for the past decade or so &hellip; And this new album is a marvellous blend of pop, rock and folk music, all coming together in a single, unifying flow &hellip; Classicism and freshness come together here as a matter of course, thanks to songwriting that is as finely crafted as it is deeply sincere &hellip; This music never feels forced; it flows effortlessly, with the heart laid bare &hellip; Nate Amos&rsquo;s great talent lies in having fully absorbed American popular music, thereby carving out for himself a path within it that is as relaxed as it is meaningful, and as recognisable as it is, ultimately, delightfully elusive &hellip; Nor can one overemphasise the vocals, which are never showy yet possess a surprising range &hellip; In short, this album is perfect for curling up and taking a breather for a few moments before heading back into the fray&hellip; Let&rsquo;s make the most of it&hellip; Enjoy!</p>

<p>[fran&ccedil;ais]</p>
<p>Il est temps de rendre hommage &agrave; l'activiste musical qu'est Nate Amos avec ce "The Singer In My Band" (Matador Records, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BeggarsFrance">Beggars</a>) de This Is Lorelei.</p>
<p>En parall&egrave;le de brillants projets collaboratifs (My Idea, Water From Your Eyes), ce musicien am&eacute;ricain d&eacute;ploie depuis une dizaine d'ann&eacute;es une carri&egrave;re solo sous le nom de This Is Lorelei ... Et ce nouvel album est un formidable pr&eacute;cipit&eacute; m&eacute;lant pop, rock et folk music dans un m&ecirc;me &eacute;lan f&eacute;d&eacute;rateur ... Classicisme et fraicheur s'assemblent ici comme une &eacute;vidence par la gr&acirc;ce d'un songwriting aussi cisel&eacute; que profond&eacute;ment sinc&egrave;re ... Cette musique ne sent jamais l'effort, se meut sans calculs, le coeur &agrave; d&eacute;couvert ... Le grand talent de Nate Amos est d'avoir pleinement int&eacute;gr&eacute; les musiques populaires am&eacute;ricaines pour mieux s'inventer &agrave; l'int&eacute;rieur de celles-ci un chemin aussi d&eacute;tendu que concern&eacute; et aussi identifiable que finalement joliment insaisissable ... Et on ne saurait trop mettre &eacute;galement l'accent sur ce chant jamais d&eacute;monstratif et pourtant d'une amplitude &eacute;tonnante ... Bref, cet album est parfait pour se lover en off quelques instants avant de repartir au front ... Profitons-en ... Enjoy !</p>

<p>A faithful fixture on Le Village Pop line-up since its inception, this Australian musician based in Europe has already produced a host of musical gems, and this new album is sure to be right up there with the best &hellip; How best to describe Ned Collette&rsquo;s music? &hellip; Here, the breath dictates its own rhythm and there&rsquo;s no point in interfering &hellip; Here, we love to reinvent a world where intensity and delicacy have so much in common &hellip; Here, songwriting is always an adventure that smiles upon the daring &hellip; Here, intensity is never a matter of volume &hellip; Here, one can be both cosmic and grounded in every nuance &hellip; Here, one is far, very far from the music business and its childish illusions &hellip; Here, the Other is never an excuse &hellip; Here, the vocals are as understated as they are commanding &hellip; Here, the listener is blissful to be here, in the right place at the right time&hellip; And the air of freedom that hovers over these 11 tracks is not about to fade away within us&hellip; Enjoy !</p>

<p>Compagnon fid&egrave;le de la programmation du Village Pop depuis sa cr&eacute;ation, ce musicien australien install&eacute; en Europe a d&eacute;j&agrave; enfant&eacute; nombre de merveilles discographiques, et ce nouvel opus ne sera pas loin des sommets c'est certain ... Comment d&eacute;finir au mieux la musique de Ned Collette ? ... Ici, la respiration dicte son rythme et il est inutile d'y interf&eacute;rer ... Ici, on aime r&eacute;inventer un monde o&ugrave; apret&eacute; et d&eacute;licatesse ont tant de choses &agrave; partager ... Ici, le songwriting est toujours une aventure qui sourit aux audacieux ... Ici, l'intensit&eacute; n'est jamais une histoire de volume ... Ici, on peut &ecirc;tre &agrave; la fois cosmique et incarn&eacute; dans tous ses interstices ... Ici, on est loin, tr&egrave;s loin du business et de ses illusions infantiles ... Ici, l'Autre n'est jamais un alibi ... Ici, le chant est aussi discret que souverain ... Ici, l'auditeur est bienheureux d'&ecirc;tre l&agrave;, au bon endroit, au bon moment ...

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[english]</p>
<p>We&rsquo;re back &ndash; albeit a bit haphazardly &ndash; with our favourites, and we&rsquo;re delighted to kick things off with the debut solo album, "Wild Love" (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/transgressiverecords">Transgressive Records</a>, Beau Travail), by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ninawinderlind/">Nina Winder-Lind</a>, a Swedish multi-instrumentalist previously seen as part of the Brighton-based all-female quartet, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theneweves">The New Eves</a>.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re a fan of polished pop music, you probably won&rsquo;t find what you&rsquo;re looking for here, but for curious minds open to the charms of rough edges, this is a discovery that is bound to stir you to the core&hellip; Here, folk and rock love nothing more than throwing some thoroughly organic revelries in the heart of off-the-beaten-track paths, open to the four winds&hellip; Here, even the most advanced AI would probably be at a loss, and yet this album exudes a coherence that is as subterranean as it is impressive&hellip; It&rsquo;s always invigorating to discover songwriting that defies convention, yet possesses a backbone that is as supple as it is firmly rooted&hellip; So, here and there, one will pick up on a few obvious influences, but the feminism on display here is as unyielding as it is flamboyant, and often deeply moving&hellip; And Nina Winder-Lind&rsquo;s vocals &ndash; unique and capable of every emotional rollercoaster &ndash; are quite simply thrillingly expressive&hellip; Though you&rsquo;re unlikely to have heard them much this summer in Marbella, these 11 songs are set to test our endurance for years to come&hellip; And as far as we&rsquo;re concerned, we&rsquo;re in for the long haul&hellip; Enjoy !&nbsp;</p>
<p><span><em>(Automatic translation from a text written in french)</em></span></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<p>[fran&ccedil;ais]</p>
<p>Retour un peu en d&eacute;sordre de nos coups de coeur, et heureux de commencer par le 1er album solo, "Wild Love" (Transgressive Records, Beau Travail), de Nina Winder-Lind, su&eacute;doise multi-instrumentiste aper&ccedil;ue au sein du quatuor f&eacute;minin de Brighton, The New Eves.</p>
<p>Amoureux d'une pop-music bien liss&eacute;e, vous ne trouverez sans doute pas votre bonheur par l&agrave;, mais esprits curieux ouverts aux bienfaits de l'asp&eacute;rit&eacute;, voil&agrave; une d&eacute;couverte qui ne pourra que vous remuer de l'int&eacute;rieur ... Ici, folk et rock n'aiment rien tant qu'organiser quelques bacchanales bien organiques au coeur de chemins de traverse ouverts aux 4 vents ... Ici, la plus pouss&eacute;e des IA n'y retrouverait sans doute pas ses petits, et pourtant cet album d&eacute;gage une coh&eacute;rence aussi souterraine qu'impressionnante ... Il est toujours revigorant de d&eacute;couvrir un songwriting non format&eacute; poss&eacute;dant toutefois une colonne vert&eacute;brale aussi souple que fermement ancr&eacute;e ... On percevra donc de ci de l&agrave; quelques influences &eacute;videntes, mais le f&eacute;minisme en marche ici est aussi irr&eacute;ductible que flamboyant et bien souvent bouleversant ... Et le chant de Nina Winder-Lind, singulier et capable de toutes les montagnes russes, est tout simplement d'une expressivit&eacute; enthousiasmante ... Sans doute peu entendues cet &eacute;t&eacute; &agrave; Marbella, ces 11 chansons sont pr&ecirc;tes pour tester notre endurance pour les ann&eacute;es &agrave; venir ... Et pour notre part, le bail au long cours est certain ... Enjoy !&nbsp;</p>

<p>Heureux hasard qui a r&eacute;uni en une m&ecirc;me date de sortie 2 brillants trait&eacute;s de pop lettr&eacute;e, amoureusement concoct&eacute;s en nos contr&eacute;es.</p>
<p>En commen&ccedil;ant par le deuxi&egrave;me album de <a href="https://www.facebook.com/b.maurussane">Boris Maurussane</a>, "Tears Of English Town" (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/HotPumaRecords">Hot Puma Records</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/la.centrifugeuse">La Centrifugeuse</a>) ... Expression d'un grand bond en avant sur tous les plans par rapport &agrave; son premier opus paru il y a 4 ans, les 14 titres propos&eacute;s ici d&eacute;clinent une ambition prot&eacute;iforme aussi r&eacute;jouissante que coh&eacute;rente ... Port&eacute;s par des musiciens au brio empli de justesse et par une production &agrave; la limpidit&eacute; &eacute;loquente, ces chansons ou instrumentaux qui ne s'interdisent aucuns chemins de traverse r&eacute;ussissent &agrave; garder le cap d'une pop music aussi ouverte que r&eacute;f&eacute;renc&eacute;e, sans jamais tomber dans l'exercice de style ... Luxuriance et sophistication m&egrave;nent ici grand train et le chant de Boris Maurussane est aujourd'hui au diapason, ce qui donne &agrave; cet album un air de pleine r&eacute;ussite ... Cette pop de chambre prend ici le grand air et n'aurait sans doute rien contre le fait d'&ecirc;tre d&eacute;gust&eacute;e sous la voute c&eacute;leste, qu'on se le dise.</p>
<p>Place ensuite &agrave; la petite troupe de <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TRCSfrenchband">The Reed Conservation Society</a> et son "Sing A Song That Never Ends (La Basse Roche, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HotPumaRecords">Hot Puma Records</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jeanphilippe.beraud">Martingale</a>) ... Apr&egrave;s avoir l&eacute;g&egrave;rement chang&eacute; de paradigme, avec r&eacute;ussite, en chantant en fran&ccedil;ais sur le pr&eacute;c&eacute;dent album, le groupe emmen&eacute; par St&eacute;phane Auzenet, &agrave; pr&eacute;sent compos&eacute; de 4 membres, revient au chant en anglais et en profite pour ouvrir plus grand les portes ... La d&eacute;licatesse consubstantielle &agrave; ce songwriting se d&eacute;ploie sans entraves tout au long de ces 11 titres, m&ecirc;me lorsque le tempo s'acc&eacute;l&egrave;re quelque peu ... L'atmosph&egrave;re g&eacute;n&eacute;rale de cet album tend &agrave; la concorde et ici la s&eacute;duction ne passera jamais par une affirmation hypertrophi&eacute;e du moi, c'est certain ... Par l&agrave;, rien n'est pesant, et les r&eacute;f&eacute;rences qui parcourent ces chansons savent se faire aussi volatiles que richement g&eacute;n&eacute;ratrices ... Cette musique est d&eacute;finitivement fin pr&ecirc;te &agrave; voyager au long cours en toute libert&eacute; et on lui souhaite de ne pas revenir rapidement &agrave; son port d'attache ... Du Souffle et de la Joie ... Merci ... Enjoy !</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s a happy coincidence that two brilliant works of literary pop, lovingly crafted right here in our part of the world, have been released on the same day.</p>
<p>Starting with Boris Maurussane&rsquo;s second album, &ldquo;Tears Of English Town&rdquo; (Hot Puma Records, La Centrifugeuse)&hellip; Representing a huge leap forward in every respect compared to his debut album released four years ago, the 14 tracks presented here showcase a multifaceted ambition that is as delightful as it is coherent&hellip; Carried by musicians whose brilliance is matched by precision and by a production of eloquent clarity, these songs and instrumentals&mdash;which shy away from no unconventional path&mdash;manage to stay on course with a style of pop music that is as open-minded as it is rich in references, without ever descending into mere stylistic exercise&hellip; Opulence and sophistication reign supreme here, and Boris Maurussane&rsquo;s vocals are now perfectly in tune, lending this album the air of a resounding success &hellip; This chamber pop takes to the open air here and would undoubtedly be perfectly happy to be savoured beneath the open sky &ndash; let it be known.</p>
<p>Next up is the small ensemble The Reed Conservation Society and their &lsquo;Sing A Song That Never Ends&rsquo; (La Basse Roche, Hot Puma Records, Martingale)... Having successfully shifted their approach slightly by singing in French on their previous album, the band led by St&eacute;phane Auzenet &ndash; now comprising four members &ndash; returns to singing in English and takes the opportunity to open their doors even wider... The delicacy inherent in this songwriting unfolds unhindered throughout these 11 tracks, even when the tempo picks up a little&hellip; The overall atmosphere of this album leans towards harmony, and here the appeal will certainly never come from an exaggerated assertion of the self... As such, nothing feels heavy-handed, and the references woven throughout these songs manage to be as fleeting as they are richly evocative... This music is definitely ready to set off on a long voyage in complete freedom, and we hope it won&rsquo;t return to its home port any time soon... Breath and Joy... Thank you... Enjoy !</p>

<p>A look back at the first two rock releases from a few weeks ago that have really stuck with us&hellip; Starting with &lsquo;Eyes Full&rsquo; (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/MatadorRecords">Matador Records</a>, Beggar&rsquo;s) by the young American artist <a href="https://www.facebook.com/britnizoh">Zoh Amba</a>&hellip; An accomplished saxophonist, she returns here on guitar and vocals to deliver an album that is as abrasive as it is deeply personal&hellip; Recorded live with a handful of impeccable musicians, the 13 tracks presented here often exude a muted, almost telluric power, all imbued with an existential delicacy that one senses comes from afar&hellip; For Zoh Amba, spiritual questing involves the Other, and in these cowardly, dogmatic times, the tremor that results is undoubtedly a source of hope &hellip; Magnitude cannot be decreed; it imposes itself &hellip; Our heartfelt gratitude to Zoh Amba for this gesture! &hellip; A change of scene with the first and short album *Heart Attack* by Les Am&eacute;ricains&hellip; This Parisian band, with a somewhat turbulent history, led by Yvan Hiot, delivers seven tracks that are as deeply rooted as they are feverishly sharp and chaotic&hellip; Here, blues and primitive rock are blended with as much love as savagery, and the shadow of the original Gun Club often hovers mischievously over these tunes, which are as uncertain as they are unsettling &hellip; Viscerally and furiously indomitable, this rock stands a world apart from the generally unchallenging fusions currently in vogue &hellip; And that is why, at Village Pop, all of this is infinitely precious to us&hellip; And in these dismal Trump-era times, it&rsquo;s a pleasure to be able to say: We love Les Am&eacute;ricains&hellip; Enjoy !</p>

<p>Retour sur 2 premiers jets rock sortis il y a quelques semaines et qui restent bien accroch&eacute;s en nous ... En commencant par le "Eyes Full" (Matador Records, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BeggarsFrance">Beggar's</a>) de la jeune am&eacute;ricaine Zoh Amba ... Saxophoniste &eacute;m&eacute;rite, elle revient l&agrave; &agrave; la guitare et au chant et livre un album aussi abrasif que profond&eacute;ment personnel ... Enregistr&eacute;es live avec quelques musiciens impeccables, les 13 chansons pr&eacute;sent&eacute;es ici d&eacute;gagent souvent une puissance sourde et quasi-tellurique, le tout empreint d'une d&eacute;licatesse existentielle que l'on pressent venir de loin ... Chez Zoh Amba, la recherche spirituelle passe par l'Autre et en ces temps l&acirc;chement dogmatiques, le tremblement qui en d&eacute;coule est lui &agrave; coup s&ucirc;r source d'espoir ... L'amplitude ne se d&eacute;cr&ecirc;te pas, elle s'invite ... Toute notre gratitude &agrave; Zoh Amba pour ce geste ! ... Changement de d&eacute;cor avec le 1er et court album "Heart Attack" pour <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Lesamericains2">Les Am&eacute;ricains</a> ... Ce combo parisien &agrave; l'histoire un peu mouvement&eacute;e, emmen&eacute; par Yvan Hiot, propulse l&agrave; 7 chansons aussi sourc&eacute;es que fi&eacute;vreusement tranchantes et chaotiques ... Ici, blues et rock primitif sont malax&eacute;s avec autant d'amour que de sauvagerie et l'ombre du Gun Club originel plane souvent avec malice au-dessus de ces comptines aussi incertaines que troublantes ... Visc&eacute;ralement et furieusement indomptable, ce rock se positionne bien loin des fusions g&eacute;n&eacute;ralement sans enjeux actuellement en vogue ... Et c'est pourquoi au Village Pop tout cela nous est infiniment pr&eacute;cieux ... Et en ces path&eacute;tiques temps trumpistes, il est plaisant de pouvoir dire : We love Les Am&eacute;ricains ... Enjoy ! &nbsp;</p>

<p>We continue with the stars, making way for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vincestaples">Vince Staples</a> and his thrilling &lsquo;Cry Baby&rsquo; (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/lomavistarecordings">Loma Vista Recordings</a>, Beau Travail).</p>
<p>Having been on the rap scene for over 10 years, this brilliant Californian musician takes a step back here by releasing this new album in a more independent manner, and the power emanating from these 10 tracks is there to confirm the wisdom of this approach. ... Musically, rarely has syncretism been so fully realised... One very quickly abandons the idea of distinguishing between hip-hop, rock and electronic music in these compositions, such is the stunning fluidity at work... And whatever the somewhat bumpy nature of the path taken, it exudes, above all, an organic quality, and these human vibrations&mdash;so very human&mdash;take this music far beyond the world of confrontation and disillusionment... This songwriting masterfully employs metaphor, and here it cuts through and bounces back... No gaze without movement, no movement without a gaze... If the insularity of your own circle eventually starts to weigh on you and you&rsquo;re not afraid of a breath of fresh air, this album is undoubtedly made for you, for us... A must-listen to be played on repeat... Enjoy !&nbsp;</p>

<p>On continue avec les &eacute;toiles, place &agrave; Vince Staples et son excitant "Cry Baby" (Loma Vista Recordings, Beau Travail).</p>
<p>Sur le pont de la galaxie rap depuis plus de 10 ans, ce brillant musicien californien fait ici un pas de c&ocirc;t&eacute; en sortant ce nouvel album de fa&ccedil;on plus ind&eacute;pendante, et la puissance que d&eacute;gage ces 10 titres est l&agrave; pour corroborer la justesse de cette d&eacute;marche ... Musicalement, rarement syncr&eacute;tisme aura &eacute;t&eacute; plus &eacute;panoui ... On abandonne tr&egrave;s vite l'id&eacute;e de faire la part des choses dans ces compositions entre hip-hop, rock et musiques &eacute;lectroniques, tant la fluidit&eacute; &agrave; l'oeuvre est bluffante ... Et quelque soit la teneur plus ou moins caboss&eacute;e du chemin emprunt&eacute;, cela respire avant tout l'organique, et ces vibrations humaines, si humaines, emm&egrave;nent cette musique bien au-del&agrave; du monde de la confrontation et du d&eacute;sabusement ... Ce songwriting manie &agrave; merveille la m&eacute;taphore, et ici &ccedil;a tranche et &ccedil;a rebondit ... Pas de regard sans mouvement, pas de mouvements sans regards ... Si l'entre soi finit tout de m&ecirc;me par vous peser et qu'un appel d'air ne vous fait pas peur, cet album est sans doute fait pour vous, pour nous ... Un must &agrave; faire r&eacute;sonner sans mod&eacute;ration ... Enjoy !&nbsp;</p>

<p>Let&rsquo;s start with Kevin Morby&rsquo;s latest album, &ldquo;Little Wide Open&rdquo; (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/DeadOceans">Dead Oceans</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SecretlyGroupDE">Secretly Group</a>, Modulor)</p>
<p>After cutting his teeth with the brilliant <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100050400523352">The Babies</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kevinrobertmorby">Kevin Morby</a> has stepped up a gear with a solo career that&rsquo;s gaining ever more traction ... And this new album could well be his finest work to date ... This laid-back songwriting doesn&rsquo;t come out of nowhere; it&rsquo;s always been fuelled by an urban folk rock that navigates with ease between restrained soaring passages and slow-burning lulls... Driven by a certain return to his roots, Kevin Morby takes his urban sensibility back to the great outdoors, and the humility and sincerity of his approach permeate every note of these 13 songs ... Accompanied by musicians who are simply brilliant in every respect, he radiates intimate vibes, and it&rsquo;s often deeply moving... Time slips by without a hint of hysteria, and it feels absolutely brilliant... Even if we&rsquo;re under no illusions that this is becoming increasingly rare, this magnificent album by Kevin Morby proves that it&rsquo;s still possible to reach a wide audience with songwriting that&rsquo;s as classy as it is structurally sound... Thanks to him... Enjoy !</p>

<p>Revenons d'abord sur le dernier album de Kevin Morby "Little Wide Open" (Dead Oceans, Secretly Group, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/modulormusic">Modulor</a>).</p>
<p>Apr&egrave;s des d&eacute;buts au sein des brillants The Babies, Kevin Morby est pass&eacute; &agrave; la vitesse sup&eacute;rieure avec une carri&egrave;re solo qui rencontre de plus en plus d'&eacute;cho ... Et ce nouvel album pourrait bien &ecirc;tre &agrave; ce jour son plus bel &eacute;crin ... Ce songwriting tout en laid-back ne sort pas de nulle part, nourrit depuis toujours d'un folk rock citadin navigant avec aisance entre envol&eacute;es dompt&eacute;es et accalmies &agrave; combustion lente ... M&ucirc; par un certain retour aux sources, Kevin Morby emm&egrave;ne son urbanit&eacute; r&eacute;investir les grands espaces, et l'humilit&eacute; et la sinc&eacute;rit&eacute; de la d&eacute;marche irriguent chaque notes de ces 13 chansons ... Accompagn&eacute; par des musiciens en tous points &eacute;patants, il rayonne tout en vibrations intimes et c'est tr&egrave;s souvent bouleversant ... Le temps s'&eacute;coule sans qu'une quelconque hyst&eacute;risation vienne pointer le bout de son nez, et &ccedil;a fait un bien fou ... M&ecirc;me si ne nous leurrons pas, cela devient de plus en plus rare, ce magnifique album de Kevin Morby prouve qu'il est encore possible de toucher un large public avec un songwriting aussi classieux que pleinement vert&eacute;br&eacute; ... Merci &agrave; lui ... Enjoy !</p>

<p>A joy to discover: &ldquo;Time Flowers&rdquo; (Sheinton Records) by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thebirthdayletters">The Birthday Letters</a>.</p>
<p>Based in Vilnius (Lithuania) since 2024, Englishman Joseph Hughes has produced a superb third album... Infused with folk-rock that is as celestial as it is organic, the nine tracks presented here showcase songwriting that is as precise as it is mindful of the pauses... Combining density with a certain weightlessness is always a challenge, and we must therefore gratefully acknowledge musicians who, as here, manage to play delicately with the elements to better find their way... We slip with delight into the spaces offered to us and often feel a startling sense of familiarity with these songs, so adept at wielding the scalpel as well as the caress... Presenting itself to us in understated yet charming garb, this music is utterly sincere and ready to penetrate hearts wherever they may be... Let yourself be guided by Joseph Hugues&rsquo;s vocals, as melancholic as they are luminous... And all roads lead to Vilnius, don&rsquo;t they? ... Enjoy !&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bonheur de la d&eacute;couverte avec ce "Time Flowers" (Sheinton Records) de The Birthday Letters.</p>
<p>Install&eacute; &agrave; Vilnius (Lituanie) depuis 2024, l'anglais Joseph Hugues r&eacute;alise l&agrave; un 3&egrave;me album de haute vol&eacute;e ... Habit&eacute;es par un folk-rock aussi c&eacute;leste qu'organique, les 9 chansons pr&eacute;sent&eacute;es ici d&eacute;roulent un songwriting aussi pr&eacute;cis qu'attentionn&eacute; aux respirations ... Allier la densit&eacute; avec une certaine apesanteur est toujours une gageure, et il faut donc saluer avec gratitude les musiciens qui comme l&agrave; arrivent &agrave; jouer d&eacute;licatement avec les &eacute;l&eacute;ments pour mieux retrouver leur chemin ... Nous nous glissons avec volupt&eacute; dans les interstices offerts &agrave; nous et nous avons souvent un troublant sentiment de familiarit&eacute; avec ces chansons si aptes &agrave; manier le scalpel autant que la caresse ... Se &nbsp;pr&eacute;sentant &agrave; nous sous de discrets mais charmants atours, cette musique est d'une sinc&eacute;rit&eacute; totale et est pr&ecirc;te &agrave; p&eacute;n&eacute;trer les coeurs o&ugrave; qu'ils se trouvent ... Laissez-vous guider par le chant aussi m&eacute;lancolique que lumineux de Joseph Hugues ... Et toutes les routes m&egrave;nent &agrave; Vilnius, n'est-il pas ? ... Enjoy !&nbsp;</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s a joy to rediscover the familiar sounds of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tamikrest">Tamikrest</a> with this &ldquo;Assikel&rdquo; (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Glitterbeat">Glitterbeat Records</a>, Modulor).</p>
<p>Since meeting the brilliant musician and co-founder of the Glitterbeat label, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chris.eckman.9">Chris Eckman</a>, in 2008, the Tuareg musicians of Tamikrest have been treating us to the earth-shaking vibrations of their music ... Travelling the world to bear witness to the reality and hopes of the Kel Tamasheq people, these musicians have never succumbed to the tempting temptation of watering down their sound to attract a wider audience, and this new album, with its emphasis on a live sound, continues the class of a journey as resilient as it is determined ... The loops, the long-running foundations of this music, move with agility whatever the setting, whether bubbling or more subdued... And the guitars carrying it all are sparkling, without ever veering into the showy... This music carries within it a silence conducive to close attention to the elements, and the vocals, full of restrained lyricism, carry these eight songs to inhabited shores where the pain of exile blows just as strongly as the hope of a reconciled tomorrow... A magnificent album... Enjoy !&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bonheur de retrouver les sons amis de Tamikrest avec ce "Assikel" (Glitterbeat Records, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/modulormusic">Modulor</a>).</p>
<p>Depuis leur rencontre en 2008 avec le formidable musicien et co-fondateur du label Glitterbeat, Chris Eckman, les touaregs de Tamikrest nous font go&ucirc;ter aux vibrations telluriques de leur musique ... Parcourant le monde pour t&eacute;moigner de la r&eacute;alit&eacute; et des esp&eacute;rances du peuple Kel Tamasheq, ces musiciens n'ont jamais flirt&eacute; avec une aseptisation bien tentante pour augmenter l'audience, et ce nouvel album, privil&eacute;giant le son live, perp&eacute;tue la classe d'un parcours aussi r&eacute;silient que d&eacute;cid&eacute; ... Les boucles, matrices au long cours de cette musique, savent se mouvoir avec agilit&eacute; quelque soit l'environnement, bouillonnant ou plus apais&eacute; ... Et les guitares portant tout cela sont &eacute;tincelantes, sans jamais tomber dans le d&eacute;monstratif ... Cette musique porte en elle un silence propice &agrave; une attention assidue aux &eacute;l&eacute;ments, et le chant tout en lyrisme contenu emm&egrave;ne ces 8 chansons sur des rives habit&eacute;es o&ugrave; soufflent autant la douleur de l'exile que l'espoir de lendemains r&eacute;concili&eacute;s ... Magnifique album ... Enjoy !</p>

<p>It feels like a desire to make up for lost time with this &ldquo;Badges&rdquo; (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/tapeterecords">Tapete Records</a>, Marion Seury) by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088074349802">The Loft</a>.</p>
<p>The release of a debut album 20 years after splitting up, followed almost immediately by a second album for the band led by Pete Astor ... And it&rsquo;s a real pleasure to listen to these new songs, imbued with a pop-rock classicism that is as undeniable as it is fresh ... No finely crafted orchestrations here, but a sound as close to a live performance as possible, exuding the joy of playing together... The class of songwriting like this can never be learnt in any training course; it stems from long-term listening and a need to always keep things in the present ... The result: 10 songs as dense as they are breathable, and which never exude the toil of hard work ... Melody is always at the heart of these compositions, but there&rsquo;s no question of sacrificing everything to it, for movement runs deep within this music, and that is precisely the secret of this pop that needs no trendy gimmicks to give us those much-needed bursts of vitality... Pete Astor and the impeccable musicians around him have decided to keep the show on the road, and it didn&rsquo;t take us long to agree to join in the dance with them... Invigorating... Enjoy !</p>

<p>Comme un d&eacute;sir de rattraper le temps perdu avec ce "Badges" (Tapete Records, Marion Seury) de The Loft.</p>
<p>Sortie d'un 1er Album 20 ans apr&egrave;s une s&eacute;paration et 2&egrave;me album quasiment dans la foul&eacute;e pour le groupe emmen&eacute; par Pete Astor ... Et grand plaisir d'&eacute;couter ces nouvelles chansons empreintes d'un classicisme pop-rock aussi ind&eacute;niable que frais ... Pas d'orchestrations finement cisel&eacute;es ici, mais un son au plus pr&egrave;s du live qui respire le bonheur de jouer ensemble ... La classe d'un songwriting comme celui-ci ne s'apprendra jamais dans quelques formations que ce soit, elle d&eacute;coule d'&eacute;coutes au long cours et d'un besoin d'inscrire les choses toujours au pr&eacute;sent ... R&eacute;sultat : 10 chansons aussi denses que aptes &agrave; la respiration, et qui ne transpirent jamais le labeur studieux ... La m&eacute;lodie est toujours au coeur de ces compositions, mais il n'est pas question de tout lui sacrifier, car le mouvement habite cette musique en profondeur et c'est bien l&agrave; le secret de cette pop qui n'a pas besoin d'utiliser les gadgets emprunt&eacute;s &agrave; l'air du temps pour nous impulser quelques &eacute;lans de vie si n&eacute;cessaires ... Pete Astor et les impeccables musiciens qui l'entourent ont d&eacute;cid&eacute; de continuer le jeu, et il ne nous a pas fallu tr&egrave;s longtemps pour accepter de rentrer dans la danse avec eux ... Revigorant ... Enjoy !</p>

<p>A double bill, a dual approach for a debut album... Let&rsquo;s start with &lsquo;All My Time&rsquo; (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hardlyartrecords">Hardly Art</a>, Modulor) by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tofusmell">Tofusmell</a>... Having released several singles and an EP, Rae Chen, a young musician originally from Florida and now based in Canada, has taken his time laying the foundations for this debut album... And these prove to be as coherent as they are delicate... Following last week&rsquo;s &ldquo;Angel In Plainclothes&rdquo; by Angelo de Augustine, here is a new exploration of a world unfolding far from the clamour, and another success, as understated as it is essential... Far removed from any algorithm, this music never shies away from the lulls and delights in renewing itself amidst the pauses... Rae Chen&rsquo;s polished songwriting takes these 12 tracks far from the atmospheric music that might have beckoned her, and this luminously impressionistic vocals know how to show us the way without dictating or showing off... A lovely discovery ... A change of atmosphere with &lsquo;Dreams&rsquo; by Books of Moods... The work of the Parisian and gently creative Hugo Sailer, this debut album has had a more adventurous gestation period... A lover of concept albums and passionately ambitious about his music, our contemporary reality has all too often pitted him against its sad contingencies, and so it is after a bumpy journey that this &lsquo;Dreams&rsquo; is released today, almost on the sly... And it would be a real shame to miss out on these 11 songs, with their pop songwriting as sophisticated as it is organic... Produced almost entirely in isolation, this album nevertheless possesses a beautiful breadth and has everything it takes to win over a fairly wide audience... Whilst Bowie&rsquo;s influence is clearly evident in the songwriting, the emancipation is undeniable, and the musicality at work here gracefully avoids the trap of over-elaboration to focus on that elusive and mysterious thing called emotion... The result is an undeniable unity and underlying power, making this album yet another source of great promise for the French music scene ... In short, two debut works that are musically very different, yet driven by a sincerity and ambition that are a pleasure to see and, above all, to hear ... A must-listen, as they say ... Enjoy !&nbsp;</p>

<p>Double affiche, double approche pour un 1er Album ... Commen&ccedil;ons par ce "All My Time" (Hardly Art, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/modulormusic">Modulor</a>) de Tofusmell ... Auteur de plusieurs singles et d'un EP, Rae Chen, jeune musicien originaire de Floride aujourd'hui bas&eacute; au Canada, a construit sans urgence les fondations de ce 1er opus ... Et celles-ci s'av&egrave;rent aussi coh&eacute;rentes que d&eacute;licates ... Apr&egrave;s le "Angel In Plainclothes" d'Angelo de Augustine la semaine derni&egrave;re, nouvelle exploration d'un univers se d&eacute;veloppant loin du tumulte, et nouvelle r&eacute;ussite, aussi discr&egrave;te qu'essentielle ... Loin de tout algorithme, cette musique ne r&eacute;fute jamais les creux et se plait &agrave; se r&eacute;g&eacute;n&eacute;rer au coeur des respirations ... Le songwriting travaill&eacute; de Rae Chen emm&egrave;ne ces 12 chansons loin d'une musique atmosph&eacute;rique qui aurait pu lui tendre les bras, et ce chant lumineusement impressionniste sait nous montrer le chemin sans diktat et sans ostentation ... Belle d&eacute;couverte ... Changement d'ambiance avec le "Dreams" de <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BooksOfMoods">Books of Moods</a> ... Oeuvre du parisien et gentiment d&eacute;miurge Hugo Sailer, ce 1er album a connu lui une gestation plus aventureuse ... Amoureux du concept album et passionn&eacute;ment ambitieux pour sa musique, notre r&eacute;alit&eacute; contemporaine lui a bien souvent oppos&eacute; ses tristes contingences et c'est donc apr&egrave;s un chemin non fluide que sort aujourd'hui, presque &agrave; la d&eacute;rob&eacute;e, ce "Dreams" ... Et il serait bien navrant de passer &agrave; c&ocirc;t&eacute; de ces 11 chansons &agrave; l'&eacute;criture pop aussi sophistiqu&eacute;e qu'organique ... R&eacute;alis&eacute; en quasi-autarcie, cet album est pourtant d'une belle amplitude et a tous les atouts pour conqu&eacute;rir un public assez large ... Si l'&eacute;toile Bowie a accompagn&eacute; de fa&ccedil;on claire ce songwriting, l'&eacute;mancipation est de fait &eacute;vidente et la musicalit&eacute; &agrave; l'oeuvre ici &eacute;vite avec gr&acirc;ce le pi&egrave;ge de l'empilement pour se concentrer sur cet objet t&eacute;nu et myst&eacute;rieux qu'est l'&eacute;motion ... En r&eacute;sulte une unit&eacute; et une puissance souterraine ind&eacute;niable, ce qui fait de cet album une riche esp&eacute;rance de plus pour la sc&egrave;ne fran&ccedil;aise ... Pour r&eacute;sum&eacute;, 2 premi&egrave;res oeuvres musicalement tr&egrave;s diff&eacute;rentes, mais port&eacute;es par une sinc&eacute;rit&eacute; et une ambition qui font plaisir &agrave; voir et surtout &agrave; entendre ... A d&eacute;couvrir absolument comme on dit ... Enjoy !</p>

<p>A touch of timeless sweetness with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/angelodeaugustinemusic">Angelo De Augustine</a>&rsquo;s &ldquo;Angel In Plainclothes&rdquo; (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/asthmatickitty">Asthmatic Kitty Records</a>).</p>
<p>A musician beloved by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LeVillagePop/">Le Village Pop</a> since his debut, this Californian multi-instrumentalist&mdash;a longtime collaborator and labelmate of Sufjan Stevens&mdash;has been spreading his wings for the past decade in a world where slogans take a back seat and where there&rsquo;s no need to raise your voice to be heard... Here, musicality flourishes unhindered and without vanity, an insatiable vehicle for a reconciliation we cannot do without ... These 10 songs, as stripped-down as they are discreetly lush, take us far, far away from the hysteria dominating the headlines, whether in the music world or the broader news ... The gentleness that inhabits every single note is profoundly existential, and the greatness of this songwriting lies in revealing its full depth through touches as finely crafted as they are direct ... Angelo De Augustine&rsquo;s vocals, as fragile as they are firmly enveloping, possess a singularity that is utterly irreducible, and blessed are those who choose to open themselves fully to them&mdash;the experience will then be long and flawless, we promise ... In short, tune out the distractions for a moment and listen to this new little gem without limits ... Enjoy !</p>

<p>Un peu d'&eacute;ternelle douceur avec le "Angel In Plainclothes" (Asthmatic Kitty Records) d'Angelo De Augustine.</p>
<p>Musicien aim&eacute; du Village Pop depuis ses d&eacute;buts, ce californien multi-instrumentiste, compagnon de route et de label de Sufjan Stevens, d&eacute;ploie ses ailes depuis une dizaine d'ann&eacute;es au coeur d'un univers o&ugrave; le slogan se fait tout petit et o&ugrave; il n'est pas n&eacute;cessaire d'&eacute;lever le ton pour se faire entendre ... Ici, la musicalit&eacute; se cultive sans entraves et sans vanit&eacute;, vecteur insatiable d'une r&eacute;conciliation &agrave; laquelle on ne peut renoncer ... Ces 10 chansons aussi d&eacute;pouill&eacute;es que discr&egrave;tement luxuriantes nous emm&egrave;nent loin, bien loin, des hyst&eacute;ries &agrave; la une de l'actualit&eacute;, que celle-ci soit soit musicale ou plus g&eacute;n&eacute;raliste ... La douceur qui habite la moindre de ces notes est profond&eacute;ment existentielle et la grandeur de ce songwriting est d'en r&eacute;v&eacute;ler toute la teneur par touches aussi cisel&eacute;es que franches ... Le chant d'Angelo De Augustine, aussi fragile que fermement enveloppant, est d'une singularit&eacute; totalement irr&eacute;ductible et heureux seront ceux qui accepteront de s'ouvrir pleinement &agrave; celui-ci, l'infusion sera alors longue et sans failles, promis ... Bref, &eacute;loignez les parasites un moment et &eacute;coutez sans limites cette nouvelle petite merveille ... Enjoy !</p>

<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/WHITEFENCETIMPRESLEY">White Fence</a>&rsquo;s &ldquo;Orange&rdquo; (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/dragcityrecords">Drag City Records</a>) has the feel of the perfect rock album.</p>
<p>Working solo under this moniker for the past fifteen years, Californian Tim Presley returns after a seven-year hiatus, with his friend Ty Segall at the helm, and the result is stunning in every way... This songwriting carries with it a classicism that is as humble as it is flamboyant, and the influences at play here are the kind that elevate rather than hold back... These 11 songs subtly shift between tempos and arrangements, the precision is consistently on point, and the somewhat battered heart at the heart of it all suddenly seems invincible... There is truly nothing to throw away in this treatise on a certain reconciliation between shadow and light... With gravity as a given and a breath of fresh air as a wink, this music possesses virtues that are all the more precious in these times of expansionist AI, whether masked or not... Tim Presley has just created his masterpiece here; its influence is only just beginning&mdash;let&rsquo;s enjoy it right now... Enjoy!</p>

<p>[fran&ccedil;ais]</p>
<p>Comme une atmosph&egrave;re d'album rock id&eacute;al avec ce "Orange" (Drag City Records) de White Fence.</p>
<p>Oeuvrant en solo sous cette identit&eacute; depuis une quinzaine d'ann&eacute;es, le californien Tim Presley revient nous faire signe apr&egrave;s 7 ans d'absence, avec l'ami Ty Segall &agrave; la r&eacute;alisation, et le r&eacute;sultat est en tous points &eacute;patant ... Ce songwriting charrie avec lui un classicisme aussi humble que flamboyant, et les influences envisag&eacute;es ici sont de celles qui portent plus qu'elles inhibent ... Ces 11 chansons peuvent alterner subtilement les tempos et les orchestrations, la justesse est constamment au rendez-vous, et le coeur quelque peu caboss&eacute; &agrave; l'origine de tout cela semble soudain invincible ... Il n'y vraiment rien &agrave; jeter dans ce trait&eacute; d'une certaine r&eacute;conciliation entre l'ombre et la lumi&egrave;re ... La gravit&eacute; comme une &eacute;vidence et l'appel d'air comme un clin d'oeil, cette musique a des vertus &ocirc; combien pr&eacute;cieuses en ces temps d'IA expansionniste, masqu&eacute;e ou non ... Tim Presley vient de r&eacute;aliser l&agrave; sa pi&egrave;ce ma&icirc;tresse, son rayonnement ne fait commencer, profitons-en d&egrave;s maintenant ... Enjoy !</p>
