Rev. Lab., 2020
8/10
A collaboration between Anthony Leguerre (drums, vocals, mouth organ, voix, etc) and Jérôme Noetinger (tape recorders Revox B77, electronics), together the pair birth an unusual listen where feedback, distortion and processing are all tweaked under an energetic rock meets electroacoustic template.
“Verpertillion” starts the listen with artistic percussion that manipulates space and tension with a cosmic and experimental approach where countless ideas enter the 8 minutes, and this ingenuity continues with the unexpected “Étage en panne”, which is just 2 minutes of mysterious ambience that’s sometimes barely audible.
Deeper cuts include “Frisson furtif”, which recruits a dizzying display of building percussion that’s as ominous as it is intriguing and that eventually becomes so acrobatic it almost seems like a machine, while “Réveil” ends the listen with a frantic, busy execution of jagged sci-fi meets horror cinematic sounds.
Recorded over two days with a large tape loop set up on two reel-to-reel tape recorders, the duo show much skill and agility across these adventurous tunes, where zero predictability or mundanity exists.
