LUXE MISÈRE

Description

Sages Comme Des Sauvages build their music like Lieutenant Colombo investigates a crime, like Henri Rousseau paints his tigers, with naivety on their shoulders, like a weapon against cynicism and the disillusionment of our times. From Reunion Island to Quebec, the band has marked the land with their refrains, their subtle jokes and their panache during the 130 concert dates that followed the release of their first album, *Largue La Peau*. Sages Comme Des Sauvages are now back with *Luxe Misère*, a diverse but consistent album, seafoam green and fluorescent yellow with reflective stripes, which they will perform live during 40 dates in the first quarter of 2020. On this album, the band invited Danyèl Waro and his powerful voice, as well as Kate Stables (This is the Kit), with her folk and therapeutic tone, who each lend their voices to a track. Recorded at Ferber studios by the wizard Jean Lamoot (Salif Keita, Alain Bashung, Noir Désir...), the band nevertheless made room on the album for their beloved travels by recording 3 tracks in Reunion Island with Danyèl Waro's rhythm section. Thus, 12 songs were born (14 on the double LP) to face the brutality of the world, to take to the maquis, hide in the foliage, and prepare for future revolts. Sages Comme Des Sauvages appear more luxuriant than ever, and a sharp machete will be needed to navigate this jungle where polymorphic and cutting-edge songs grow.
