With his solo project he aims to examine his personal view on music, Maybelline moved from the pop touch of wellknown and respected main band of his to cruise the slums of darker and even more extreme electronics. To quote William's own words, Qual is about vile visions, despaired in a frowning black tower of pain. Concealed yearns of a desolate heart, trying to scratch that unscratchable rotting itch from within. Centuries of sorrow drenched in gloomy electronics that palpitate like human passions.

CD 12,50€ Michel Lecamp aka Usher vient d’enregistrer son plus bel album, le plus humain, le plus douloureusement sincère: «Songs Of Death And Deception ». Ce musicien français pionnier de la scène cold wave hexagonale et rescapé de la décennie des années 80 avec son groupe Norma Loy habite aujourd’hui pleinement l’entité Black Egg. Nous avons ici un artiste complet affranchi de toutes les révolutions musicales, qui s'aventure magistralement dans ces riches territoires d’un songwriting folk longtemps arpenté par les Lee Hazlewood, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Wovenhand, Mark Lanegan ou Frank Tovey (dont il s'approprie un des titres séminaux de l'époque Fad Gadget). Usher San a une voix granuleuse et biblique dont il se sert, à l'instar d'un Leonard Cohen, d'un Michael Gira ou d'un Ian Curtis, pour vous narrer des histoires de vie, d'amour, de mort, de renaissance et de transcendance. Cette voix d'une justesse rare portée par de sublimes compositions originales (deux chansons en français dont "Petit Chevalier" reprise de Nico du Velvet Underground chantée ici par Lily Rose, la fille de l'artiste, et "derrière les forêts" qui lorgne du coté d'un Alain Bashung époque "bleu pétrole") distille la passion, le soufre, la caresse, une forme de liturgie poétisée et la perte irrémédiable de ceux et celles qui nous sont chers, accentuée ici par la déception d'un monde qui nous conduit tout droit vers le précipice. La production sobre et classieuse se veut dans l'esprit des fameux "American Recordings" testamentaires de Johnny Cash. Le mastering a été confié à James Aparicio, ingénieur du son de chez Mute, qui travaille habituellement avec Depeche Mode, Grinderman, Spiritualized, Maps, Liars ou Moby. C'est assurément le disque français de l'année dans le genre LOVE IN PRAGUE Fallen Angels Unknown Pleasures Rec. CD 12,50€ Ambient guitar, minimalist rhythms and new wave voice, Love in Prague is an UFO somewhere between Interpol, And Also The Trees, Slowdive or Little Nemo. Since 2009, the band has given concerts in France in clubs and bigger halls, they have especially made the first part of the UK band Lebanon Hanover in 2015.Their new songs, still drawing on cold wave, dream pop + post-punk genre, moved on on a more electronic approach with the use of synthesizers creating an ethereal and gloomy atmosphere CORTEX RECORDS - BP 90041 - 67027 STRASBOURG CEDEX 1 - FRANCE [email protected] tél. 09 60 16 93 34
