La Fragilité Exclusivité Fnac Vinyle transparent

Description

The first installment, “Toute latitude,” recorded as a group, highlights rock, electric, and electronic music and was released on March 9
And we discover the sequel on October 5 with “La fragilité” and its more acoustic and intimate melodies, recorded solo this time.
La fragilité seems to be the luminous counterpart of Toute latitude: if one listens closely, one can hear a calming, a certain celebration of the beauty of things and the world, a happy contemplation of landscapes (“Le temps qui passe sans moi”), some of which date back to childhood (those of Loire Atlantique, in “Comme au jour premier,” or those discovered during travels, mesmerized, like in Majorca: “La splendeur”).
The tracks of La fragilité are entirely performed by Dominique A and recorded at his home on an eight-track console. This is the third album that the artist has recorded this way: after the foundational La fossette (1992), La musique (2009) was also recorded in the strictest intimacy. Most of the songs are first takes: there were indeed many others, but it is always the first versions that manage to give the songs that feeling of intimacy, immediacy, simplicity – a certain regained youthfulness? - sought by the singer.
The sound, the spirit he is in search of, but this time over the duration of an entire album, is that of the song “Rue des marais”1, a first take recorded at home, with the means at hand. Intimacy, once again, urgency and sincerity, and the singing that leans towards the child one once was. It seems that the challenge for Dominique A is not to renew himself at all costs but to intelligently dig into the same furrow, to explore the same universe with wonder, revealing its changing reflections, as the light of time lays down its rays.
