For this new album, JEAN-LOUIS MURAT first considered going back to America. That land that has so nourished his imagination. But he never followed through. Because he actually conceived this record at home. After sorting through the forty or so tracks he had at his disposal, Murat thus shaped "Toboggan" at home, almost as a recluse, in a solitude that definitively encouraged him to shed certain habits. Dazzling, intriguing, and fascinating, "Toboggan" is an atypical work in an era that too often exalts uniformity, timidity, and singular thought. A work that speaks volumes about the "artistic intransigence" of this man unable to fit the mold. An intransigence that definitively makes JEAN-LOUIS MURAT a different artist. Timeless.
