Des Ruines Et Des Poemes

Des Ruines Et Des Poèmes, the second album of Louis Arlette, never fails. Quite the contrary: recorded at Studio Ferber with the help of Philippe Paradis (Christophe, Thiéfaine, Zazie ...), this album, conceived as a second birth, radiates of power and rage, overflowing with heroic beauties, magnificent bites, tumultuous bitterness. His clearer line, the relative destitution of his arrangements, the sharper angles of his electricity, its mechanical beats, its sonorities like pruned serp, his synths sharp as flints or his pointillist electricity let his songs inhale and exhale their tunes, good and bad, much more freely and much more intimately. Darkness and light, one magnifying the other like a yin and a yang indispensable to life, to death, to the splendor of all things. And in its dazzling clears and those devouring obscurities, the lyrics in french, of a confusing truth and sincerity, find a profound resonance. An acid diving in intimate struggles like collective chaos, in the pangs of bodies as in those of emotions, in toxic relationships or unhealthy cravings, infested fluids and mental storms, they document the time and its troubles in a staggering way. Des Ruines Et Des Poèmes … Ruins, but poems: Louis Arlette may have with his second album, between the venomous beauties of his lyrics and the Herculean strength of his music, writes the ideal soundtrack, and ultimately very enjoyable, for these chaotic crash.
