Kacimi
Panache
For his fourth album, 'Panache', Kacimi has teamed up with Geneva-based Augustin von Arx and Léonard Persoz (musicians with Magic&Naked and Le Roi Angus). The album features dreamy synths, mellow bass and smooth production. Accustomed to guitars and garage pop (The Rebels Of Tijuana), Kacimi breaks with his usual habits by composing most of the tracks for this album on piano, delicately dressed by Augustin von Arx and Léonard Persoz, who produce the entire album. These 9 tracks take us into a shimmering world of electronica and seventies pop. Set to absurd yet existential poems by Romano Bianchi, his pop partner, Kacimi lets himself drift off into his reveries and narrations with a clear, precise voice. Recorded in the Geneva countryside in the midst of a bamboo garden and an invigorating vegetable patch, 'Panache' stands out in Kacimi's discography as a real letting go, where pleasure was the central element in the creative process.
