2029 (vinyl)

Description

After the repopulation attempts of a first try (Repeupler, IDA 2016), the second album was almost called Il Fiasco, for the global failure represented by our lives alone and together in networks, plastic loves, the arrogance of masculinity, and aborted attempts at reconciliation. Another oil spill. Then, as always, I listened to records, many records, sometimes even too many. I carefully dissected them, twisted them, then took out my scissors, my notebooks, and called my comrades. I then understood that I had to drive the point home, tell the story again, and make the sounds work. It was going to be terrible, and the regrowth of the weeds afterward would be difficult. The minimum kit for a revolution on the scale of a record. Everything was there, under our ears. "It's an Unidentified Sound Object, Gontard! In his songs, he unfolds a strange, whimsical, and at times quite ferocious diary. He is a pop artisan who uses a hip-hop method adept at the 'me, myself, and I,' a pirate with a sharp tongue." Didier Varrod --- FRANCE INTER. "Gontard! and his very lo-fi hip-hop prove to be much more complex, even disturbing, than expected. This is due to a few black tide phrases, to a few samples so out of context that they border on eugenics." J.D. Beauvallet --- LES INROCKS
