Pélican

Description

The American friend, Jason Glasser, musician, painter, sculptor, videographer, after 20 years in Paris for love of a French woman, took his time before releasing a first album under his own name, after having already done so as a member of the New York band Clem Snide and then as singer of Fruitkey on this side of the Atlantic. If the 12 songs on PELICAN were recorded in just two days at the Paris studio Spookland, YODELICE’s studio in 2020, they were written and composed over a period of about ten years, tested and even refined during exhibition openings. In 2015, the two friends JASON GLASSER and ETIENNE DE CRÉCY (a pioneer with Super Discount of the electronic “French touch” of the late 1990s) released the track NEW WAVE, a summer interlude between “surf music” and electro pop, performed and co-written by JASON GLASSER. “Recording with Étienne transformed my approach to singing.” Jason no longer hides his voice. On PELICAN, he accompanies himself on cello and guitar, backed on percussion, trumpet and Buchla analog synthesizer by pop activist JÉRÔME LORICHON, the third man in the band ZOMBIE ZOMBIE.
