The discovery: Saint Lucia, let’s vote for her
A long boring Sunday like any other. All those who abhor the seventh day of the week for multiple reasons (hangover, mass, family obligations, etc.) will immediately have a favorable opinion of an artist who finds inspiration of one of these pieces in this disenchanted parenthesis between the hedonism of Saturday and the recovery of Monday. Founding title, because it was he who struck a chord with the limitless explorers of the Underground to open the doors of their house to this young woman who was both unique in her journey and in her compositions. Environmentalist municipal councilor at the town hall of the 1st arrondissement of Lyon, Lucie Perrin has until now worked musically in the shadows. Since 2011, she selfishly enjoyed herself by posting funny vignettes on her Soundcloud which we cannot really call “songs”.
Fragments of life, of thought, imbued with a poetry that is half-surrealist, half-humorous, almost declaimed in a high-pitched voice, literally and figuratively, as if from a Renaissance madrigal. We admit that we do not always understand everything about the multiple twists and turns of a universe where the absurd (I’m hungry) sometimes acts as a mode of operation to forget the torments of our time. No matter, we thank her for having finally decided to share with as many people as possible her whirlwind lo-fi adventures resembling a series of notes written in an intimate and whimsical diary, inhabited at the same time with a palpable sadness and with dazzling joy. Not the least of the paradoxes that we discover throughout the first mixtape-compilation of a Saint Lucy to whom we have not finished praying.
Saint Lucia Thank you and thank you (La Souterraine)
To the playlist
Shit Robot Superstar
The DFA label, founded by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, has risen from the ashes. Times have changed, punk-funk is dead and Shit Robot’s house is now dark and tense. Superstar, yes, but in a hangar.
Sticky World Are You a Tree ?
Armand Bultheel, half of Agar Agar, launches his label, Illogue Musique. First release, this playful electronic pop track where the drum hops on a techno foot, signed by another very promising duo.
Mr Giscard Goback
Always a pleasure to find the bubblegum flow of the Ile-de-France producer who spreads over his melancholy soulful house beat. But what could he be saying in the chorus? Please interpret!
I Me Mine Childish World
We love rock for its epic exaltation. When it blasts into every corner with guitars and drums. We even find a little more than that with this Franco-New Zealand trio. Feverish.
Neil Young My Heart
As in 2022, we end the year with a new album from the septuagenarian. Forgotten, electric guitars, room for acoustics or piano for a solo rereading of his repertoire. Twilight and poignant.
