Contreband - Le cauchemar de Kipling (Full album)
Génial!
Contreband:
- membres -
JM : textes, chant, guitare rythmique
Aurel : guitare solo
Vic : basse
Romain : batterie
- description -
Rock alternatif multi-influences, Contreband nous décrit une réalité crue au travers de leurs textes écorchés vifs, appuyés par une musique accérée, aiguisée, contrôlée, parfois douce, parfois gueulante , évoluant au grès de l'inspiration et du ressenti des musiciens : rock, metal, acoustique, reggae, musique de rue, autant d'influences que l'on retrouve dans le jeu de ces quatres compères : Sylvain à la batterie, JM au chant et à la guitare rythmique, Aurel à la guitare solo, Vic à la basse. Découvrez l'univers de Contreband au travers de cette gallerie de personnages que leur musique tranchante nous décrit, ceux que l'on croise au quotidien sans s'en apercevoir : Fanny , David , Estelle , le marchand de bonheur , les oiseaux de nuit ou encore ce visionnaire . Autant d'individus, autant d'inspiration et de titres pour Contreband.
"Le cauchemar de Kipling" est le troisième album du groupe, et le premier à être commercialisé. De douces mélodies acoustiques ("marchand de Bonheur", "1, 2, 3"...), sont alternées avec de puissants riffs rock, toutes guitares dehors ("visionnaire", "Fanny", "Schizo"...).
Les textes de cet album abordent des thèmes difficiles : euthanasie, violences conjugales, tourisme sexuel, folie, alcoolisme, drogue, rupture... Ces textes sont écrits sous une plume objective, descriptive, mais gardent une certaine distance, ainsi qu'une pointe de sarcasme et d'humour noir. Des textes qui donnent à réfléchir et incitent à porter un certain regard, pas forcément optimiste, sur le monde. A noter que certains textes décrivent des histoires vraies, ou sont inspirés de faits réels.
