Noces animales falaises

Animal Cliffs Wedding: these three words collide in a sort of crash. Julien Fortier's fourth album explores the collisions between forms: this album is the obvious union of two parallel writings. The first, profoundly literary, is presented in the form of a collection. It's about surrendering to the poetic gesture first, impulsive in its fever to seize, even if in filigree, what passes through and escapes. In this collection, the language is chopped, fragmented, and crossed out, sometimes cruel and obsessive. Poetry emerges between the fragments. The poet connects to the world through figures, populating it with archetypal creatures, bringing together Judeo-Christian imagery and pop culture. Then emptiness, this world, and finding oneself in it, naked and alone, like a man - "moist as a father / bent as a prayer". these words mark the end of the song "Silences." Then another language shifts the first one. It modifies its contours. It forces it to abandon its form, to twist and sharpen, to let itself be caught in its splinters: the music gathers the fragments. Dull, thick, and dark like a mass, it is also rock, electro, and vertigo. It moves along the edge, suspended between ascent and descent. Filled with hope, it embraces what words prohibit - "despair" had been erased from the collection. The album's pieces are organized like a show, sometimes ritual, sometimes tragedy or masquerade. It's no longer Julien Fortier singing his writings. it's someone else, a character prey to this universe that overwhelms him, maltreats him, and plays with him. This new album allows the junction between a heritage poetry and an ultra-contemporary experimental practice. Thus, Baudelaire's Romantic Sunset rubs shoulders with the barbed wire hell in "Par ici l'homme": "The crooked man / Kneeling in the clearing / Spreads the wires without his hand trembling.". It's an album of collisions, sometimes asserting itself as kitsch, sometimes gothic, where Egon Schiele mingles with Gotham City (the painter and the fictional city jointl.
