Catalogue - Modern Delusion
The Marseille band's third album is a chaotic journey into the 80s, to put discord inside our convictions, to create doubts, to make us experience nostalgia but slaughtering it all with their devastating irony. Post-Punk, the dirtiest kind, infects us with Noise, as a fun way of disorienting us, but then we immediately realise their methodology, pungent and complete, to lead us to evaluate well what is left of that decade. And here's how they jump back and forth, in and out of references that are multiple but never able to make us realise how much is the real basis for them. This aspect makes them wonderfully and damnably interesting: the delirium of a necessary fervour dwells in these songs, there is an awareness that bumps and teaches, over and over again. Here, then, we are tampered by their art, without a refuge, because they make us dance under the stars, without the need for a future, except to be accompanied by their incredible mastery of being lions roaring over our bored brains...
