Gasc, Julien
Cerf Biche Et Faon
With 'Cerf Biche Et Faon' (Stag, Deer and Fawn), Julien Gasc guides and plants us in the forest of his emotions, playing with his ethereal voice and lyrical instrumentations, against the gentle crackle of lo-fi cigarettes. This is his first solo album after many rich collaborations (including Aquaserge, Stereolab, April March, Katerine, BERTRAND BURGALAT) and Julien Gasc more intimately reveals here the "diamond" he harbours, having it vibrate on the shellac. These are resolutely pop songs for the most part, or fueled by his adolescent energy, his artistic and technical maturity does nothng to smother the fresh spontaneity he reinvents in the moment during recording.
