La Morte Young is a supergroup including the members of the bands Nappe, Sun Stabbed and Talweg. Their first studio album, released 5 years ago, has been acclaimed by some press and has also been tip of the tongue of the now defunct Volcanic tongue mailorder.
A Quiet – Earthquake Style is the second studio album by La Morte Young, recorded during a residency in november 2015 at GRIM in Marseille.
It’s always hard to describe a record when you are part of it, so here is a the thoughts of Stefan Neville (Pumice, Olympus, …) while listening to it : « This is an unpleasant, confusing & transcendental new record by some very heavy french bastards. It is destructive & haunted & ridiculous. Side one begins with cold violent ripping splatter. Almost rock music but tortured & distressed like a tough metal buffoon falling over wearing dangerous nail studded armbands tumbling & screaming down the steps of an infinity dungeon, into an open sewer where his bullet belt short circuits the worlds electricity & his shitty corpse gets boiled up into a spiritual paste of false hope. On side two we hear a duet between apocalyptic wind & some bulldozers. Cannons are fired into the ocean and a chorus of concussed whale’s reply unhappily. Then the world dies and robot scanners on autopilot move in to forever check the pulse of the rubble & giggle amongst themselves for eternity. None of this feels like mere humans playing instruments to me. It is a huge, terrifying, obscene & hilarious record… »
For whom think that Sunn O))), the Dead C and François Bayle are also ridiculous and hilarious.
LP version includes 2 postcards.
La Morte Young est la rencontre de Talweg (Eric Lombaert, batterie, percussions et basse, et Joelle Vinciarelli, basse et voix) + Nappe (Christian Malfray, électroniques et Pierre Faure, guitare électrique + echo à bande) + Sun Stabbed (le même Pierre Faure avec Thierry Monnier, guitare électrique).
A Quiet – Earthquake Style est le deuxième album studio, fruit d’une résidence au GRIM à Marseille en novembre 2015.
Un tremblement de terre tranquille où les guitares hurlent écorchées vives ou tapissent l’horizon d’un cambouis bien résistant, les ondes basses menacent et font parfois office de fondation, la batterie scande martiale la route à suivre, la voix fantomatique hante ces deux faces qu’elle soit concrètement là ou pas, et l’électronique virevolte tel un caméléon d’une fréquence ou d’une source à l’autre.
Un grand disque d’un grand groupe qui sait allier les forces du free à celle du drone.
La version LP comprend 2 cartes postales. Couverture signée Gaelle Rouard.
