NOT EASY TO COOK (Vinyl)

Description

“Languid rhythms that evoke Latin America and Africa.” Mowno The most surprising thing about “Not easy to cook” is the humidity that emanates from it. It’s hard to sum up the matter any other way than by comparing these 10 songs to a pressure cooker in which bits of dancehall, skalondonien and Hawaiian dub opened with the buttocks would have been cooked. That is where the record, recorded by the band in their French village at the end of the world, achieves a small miracle: sounding French, but on the French Polynesia side. On “Not easy to cook,” you can hear frogs, birds, the sound of the jungle in a living room. Those already traumatized by Arthur Lyman’s vibraphone and the Lounge music of Les Baxter should feel right at home; newcomers will finally discover something other than Saturdays at Nature et Découverte. “A traveling, cheerfully sunny garage rock.” Libération “Tracks that provoke visions or hallucinations.” France Inter
