Sang pour sang

20th January 2021

After a first album Songs from la chambre released in 2017 and acclaimed by the independent press, Julien Bouchard has decided to take his time to release his second album Excuse my French which will be available in May! You will find on this record the trademark of the french author / composer but this time all the lyrics are in French as the title of the album specifies, not without a certain second degree ...

To make you wait, here is a cover of Sonic Youth (in French).

A beautiful weightlessness

16th December 2020

Thank you perfide Albion ! [...] The title track is better still, having a beautiful weightlessness to it as it evaporates skywards. Like other tracks on the album, it also feels imbued with the spirit of The High Llamas. It’s left to the heartfelt, reflective Dors Encore to deliver the final chapter of a highly accomplished release. It proves that the Orwell name very much carries significance in a musical capacity as well as its more established literary counterpart. [...]

Kind of elegance

1st November 2020

Thank you Froggy's Delight ! [...] A l’os, dans un dénuement s’éloignant de la production portant la marque de ces années et baignant dans une atmosphère presque spleenienne. Des arrangements laissant (ré)apparaître, car on pourrait connaître par cœur ou presque ces chansons, ici une écriture, une ligne harmonique, là une mélodie ou une interprétation vocale qui font que ces morceaux ont traversé le temps.

Catch the essence, the melodic immortality

22nd October 2020

Thank you A Découvrir Absolument for this great review of the album Recital ! [...] Mélancolie, donc nostalgie. Recital est un disque dont la splendeur provient également d’une époque lointaine, époque féérique, quand le monde croyait encore en son avenir et en l’égalité pour tous.
