Elégance

Description

After a break, Schlaasss returns in 2025 with "Élégance." An album of 12 tracks where Daddy Schwartz, Charlie Dirty, and the unique producer of this opus, Bonetrips, aimed to create a radical, free, current, and uncompromising object. The production work on this album was done with particular attention, refining every detail, enhancing the staging, and giving the sound of this album an unmatched richness; with Schlaasss, Bonetrips has accomplished a considerable creative feat. Flirting, as usual, with a variety of musical styles: electro, rap, trap, reggae, hyperpop... "Élégance" is a journey into a world saturated with information and violence, where everything is always cluttered with interruptions, trends, and gimmicks... Schlaasss maintains their provocative and irreverent positions in their writing, mocking everything and themselves above all, with lyrics that resonate with our unstable times, embodying a rough, dangerous, tragic, and funny poetry. The humor is so dark and violent that it feels full of hope, elevating the absurdity of the world through catharsis and genuine laughter. Playing with opposing intentions depending on the tracks. And with voices where it’s sometimes hard to believe that only two people are singing, Schlaasss asserts their madness and magic. In a world where personal development and the tyranny of positive thinking dominate, Schlaasss asserts that bringing out one’s darkness and "making jokes" is the best way to cope and summon honest and salvific joy. Singer Daddy Schwartz has tattooed the album cover and tracklist on his skin without ink, encompassing the entire artistic direction of this album. A uncompromising graphic design and a craftsmanship of reality as a nod to the perpetual presence of AIs and screens, reaffirming the commitment of the body against puritanical algorithms. As they say in the last track of the album "Jurassic Park": They still have "Plenty of love to give. We're not dead, it's you who are wrong." Despite their ages and already long careers, Schlaasss still has a mission to accomplish with this return. One that is as frivolous as it is necessary.
