OddZoo - Future Flesh (2018)

After a beautiful and striking illustration by Kerstin Paillard, these French devotees of electronics are protected - in fact, they have collaborated with none other than their compatriots Perturbator and Carpenter Brut -, which start with a debut that mixes with delicacy and good taste synthesizers, pop and the most succinct noise. Impossible not to fly back to our recovered eighties.

Mastered by the legendary drummer of Cult of Luna, Magnus Lindberg, "Future Flesh" seems like a trip to the ends of the most futuristic romanticism. Related to The Soft Moon or Pavement, the French dare with beautiful but painful intensities, but also with moments when you feel that levitating is a daily necessity. We can not forget that connection with the Californians Drab Majesty, who will be this year in our beloved Roadburn Festival. There is no better electronics than the one that does not forget the pop element. Songs at the service of machines. Can you ask for more? In fact, with "Lizzy" they manage to sound like hooliganists. I could even see thousands of Englishmen dancing under the intense focus of the day of the end of the world.

The formation successfully conjures dozens of postcards that place us on a planet earth on the edge of the abyss. What do we have left aside to dance before becoming forgotten ashes? The destructive single "Another Cold Strong Drink" speaks of love, or rather of that constant lack of love caused, in part, by the celerity of the days that we have had to live.
