Description

“Vertige de l'amour,” sang Alain Bashung. In his song, it was a matter of dreaming too hard. One never dreams hard enough. The two boys of Vertige dream very hard. Dreaming allows you to escape, to breathe when you are caught in the torments and turmoil of a rock band whose destiny, whose aims, you suddenly no longer really control. Jérôme Coudanne with Deportivo and Robin Feix with 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 pleasure of playing. With the oxymoron of “radical pop” as a guiding light in the writing, Vertige combines melody and radicality, through the radical nature of the sound, the attitudes or the hallucinatory words. Using only a bass, no guitar, a voice and a few off-kilter keyboards, Jérôme and Robin cling to the naivety of their beginnings, to that spontaneity, that freshness, to always get straight to the point.
