HORIZON FONDU (vinyl couleur blanc)

Description

Selen Peacock is an electric quintet exploring all directions between song, oblique pop, and cosmic jazz. 'Horizon Fondu' is the group's third album, the first entirely sung in French, to be released by Another Record (Satellite Jockey, Odessey & Oracle, Phat Dat, Kcidy). Written largely during the year 2019, between urban heatwaves and excursions in Asia, these 9 songs evoke a mix of houseplants, photographs of traditional Japanese costumes, the fragility of existence, that of natural environments, shop windows in upscale neighborhoods, or the heatwave. Addressing today's world by zooming in on its details, the semi-realistic songs borrow from currents already traversed by peers such as Brigitte Fontaine or Aquaserge. The group assembled by Johan Saint, author and composer of the songs, includes musicians heard in Belvoir, Fantôme, the collective 2035, or even the National Jazz Orchestra, all working in the alternative scene of East Paris for several years. The saxophones and synths of Martin-Oger Daguerre and Morgane Carnet (who also sings to form a unique male-female duo) are joined by the rhythm section formed by François Le Roux and Augustin Bette. Recorded partly on tape just before the first lockdown, produced by Romain Vasset (Belvoir, François and the Altas Mountains) and mixed by Vincent Hivert (Biche, En attendant Ana, Agar Agar), 'Horizon Fondu' offers the world seamless pieces of style, stretching the contours of the songs to make them small planets.
