"Vertige de l'amour" (Love's Dizziness), sang Alain Bashung. In his song, it was about dreaming too intensely. One can never dream intensely enough. The two boys from Vertige dream very intensely. Dreaming allows one to escape, to clear one's head when caught in the turmoil and torment of a rock band whose destiny and designs one suddenly no longer truly controls.
Jérôme Coudanne with Deportivo and Robin Feix within Louise Attaque thus experienced these bands with their obligatory growth, their increasingly uncontrollable gigantism. Vertige is what they needed, a personal band, a band without pressure, a band for the sheer joy of playing.
With the oxymoron of "radical pop" as their guiding light in songwriting, Vertige combines melody and radicalism, through the radicalism of sound, attitudes, or hallucinated words. Using only a bass, no guitar, a voice, and a few wonky keyboards, Jérôme and Robin cling to the naivety of their beginnings, to that spontaneity, to that freshness, to always get straight to the point.
