Drop

Description

After a trilogy of critically acclaimed albums and a 10-year hiatus, Romain Turzi, the underground pope of non-conformist French music, takes the reins again to compose and produce his new album Drop!, backed on vocals by his longtime friend Oliver Gage and his autobiographical, melancholic writing, bringing to life an intimate and redemptive musical epic, traversed by oblique pop songs and club songs that reconcile punks and dancers.An album with diverse influences, it features the masters of film music (Goblin, Angelo Badalamenti), the titans of electronic and techno music (808 State, Dopplereffekt), the hedonistic spirit of 80s Brit rock (Happy Mondays, Stone Roses), the chiseled melodies of timeless folk singers (Woody Guthrie, Neil Young), and the sonic power of My Bloody Valentine or the productions of Andrew Weatherall.A record of friendship and wild creative freedom, Drop! is an invitation to escape the weight of the present and touch a form of utterly necessary ecstasy.
