Mirage

Description

With their French lyrics, delivered in a deep, resonant voice, oscillating between weariness and rebellion, the modern young men of Tropique Noir re-open the breach of two genre classics (Étienne Daho's La Notte and Taxi Girl's Seppuku) to build epic musical journeys with luminous pop melodies. Tropique Noir explores the confines of the human soul, tormented by loves lasting until death, made even more painful by disillusioned evenings. And what remains when the ashtrays are full and bodies litter the ground? The desire to throw everything away, and Tropique Noir strives to do so with force and violence, battling its words throughout these ten tracks with luminous melodies until, finally, soothed in a last synthetic surge, the breath breaks. Sparkling guitars, new wave bass, tense rhythms – their pop, more black than tropical, arrives from Rennes with this haunting debut album.
