Adieu Gary Cooper "Bleu Bizarre"

 Adieu Gary Cooper "Bleu Bizarre"
release date 7th February 2014 on Moi J’Connais Records / MJCR026
Inspired by Romain Gary's 1964 novel "The Ski Bum", this Genevan
4tet plays country-blues with a psyche-touch. All lyrics are french and
uncompromising. Folk guitars vs distorted guitars, hovering lap steel,
backing vocals celebrating country music heros or messy Black Lips
riffs. It is a dreamy record, unique, fresh and new, between lullabies
and dance floor killers … . They invoke the ghosts of the french past as
Serge Gainsbourg or Alain Bashung but also some immortal giant as
The Velvet Undergroud (as usual) or Harry Belafonte ! It's groovy. It's
mellow ! It is for the first time on LP, with a beautiful print screen cover,
deep in the blue. The perfect record for the beginning of the year,
promising rising waters !!!
ADIEU GARY COOPER
There are people who, when they’re fed up trying, naturally
fall back on their mother tongue. There are people who
inevitably veer towards something sluggish and hazy, a little
like our judicial system but with a happy ending. There are
people who greet the death of their idols, lost under the
snow, with melancholy and who reveal between the lines
that, from the day they were born until the day they’ll die,
they will always have something to hide.
Tired of seeing their reflection in the mirror, there are people
who immerse themselves in an ocean of intimacy and who
never even try to pull the knife out of their wounds. Simply
said, there are people who are more at peace than others,
unfazed by the surrounding hostility, who openly and
wholeheartedly write songs of their own time with tinges of
'Bleu pétrole'. Through their diluted verses, Adieu Gary
Cooper exist. The musicians in Adieu Gary are such people,
and I’ve met them.
