Cuidado madame

Description

DES PERLES POP ULTRA ÉLÉGANTES, ARTO LINDSAY À SON APOGÉE Three years after his Encyclopedia of Arto, presented as a sort of retrospective that explored his two facets (sexy Arto & scary Arto), Arto Lindsay offers us Cuidado Madame, his first studio album in over thirteen years. The title refers to a Brazilian film from the 1970s, directed by Júlio Bressane, telling the story of three maids who, in an act of rebellion against a society that oppresses them, begin to assassinate their mistresses one after the other. In his image, this album always plays on the dichotomy of the dandy, even if the sexy Arto is much more present through ultra-elegant pop pearls, those of an extraordinary character, a link between Brian Eno and Antonio Carlos Jobim, between Caetano Veloso and John Zorn who strolls through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, New York, Tokyo, Naples with the same funny gait, that kind and mischievous look behind his small round glasses. Cuidado Madame is a bold and striking proposal, one of a full and inimitable range of textures, sounds, technology, melody, and poetry. This long-awaited new album certainly represents Arto's mastery at its peak.
