Fishing For Accidents

Description

Wax Tailor announces the release of his new album “Fishing For Accidents” on February 10, 2023, accompanied by a major international tour. “The starting point of this record is a phrase from director Orson Welles, which evokes the notion of accident in the creative process. I have always believed that accidents are an integral part of creation and that the work of a film or record director is also to know how to capture them to make the accident an artistic intention. I decided not to follow a well-established concept but this more instinctive guiding line and to go fishing for accidents."
In this new opus, the wax tailor explores with his sampler a world of vinyl and cinematic references, brandishing as a banner a stamped musical culture and multiplying nods to the 7th art in a writing of 33 RPM and 24 frames per second. After the dark “The Shadow Of Their Suns” released in 2021, Wax Tailor takes us with “Fishing For Accidents” to a brighter and more colorful side without ever betraying his universe and convictions. A repeat talent scout, he brings together a prestigious cast ranging from hip hop (Mick Jenkins, Mr. Lif, Kuf Knotz, Lojii, Napoleon Da Legend, Ill Conscious, Voice Monet, David Bars, Mattic) to the Indie rock scene (Jennifer Charles, singer of the legendary group Elysian Fields and Victoria Bigelow). One eye on the rearview, the other on the horizon, Wax Tailor infuses the incandescent sound of an organic sound and distills his art of sonic anachronism in a deliberate split between nostalgia and modernity that has made him one of the leaders of the international electro hip hop scene for over 20 years.
