Rien Faire - Peuple CD
SKU
Dur et Doux 059
“Two years after «Rien Faire», their first eponymous album, the
trio (bass, keyboards, drums, vocals) from Lyon delivers their
latest contribution to the revival of songwriting made in France.
Nine small surrealist poems whose soft consonant sounds
blossom through falsely naive melodies and which, in spite of
their complexity, resound like so many evidences.
A pop of goldsmith coiled in a rough and noisy case considering the stripped arrangements, borrowed of roughness and of a gracious beauty.
Raw sophistication. Economy of means. The Rien Faire don’t make
a big deal of it, the songs are enough by themselves. A noisy rictus,
an elusive bass line, a vocal harmony with solar accents: each
ingredient keeps its own flavor without being totally melted in the
mass, getting to the whole a sometimes disconcerting freshness.
But as often in the productions of the label Dur et Doux, it is better to abandon its projections to be carried by the musical proposal.
Because if by certain debonair aspects, we imagine very well our
three acolytes sitting in circle on the beach modelling some sand
blocks with the strange contours and being ecstatic in front of the
evocative power of these spontaneous realizations, we detect with
the wire of the listening of Peuple this will, oh so worked, to be
constantly «on the wire». Between experimental song, dada rock
and yéyé a little destroyed, Rien Faire draws - in a conscious way
or not - the contours of a pop music of which we all dreamed.”
