AVANT LES DESERTS

A whole generation (Ours, FÚloche, Alexis HK, ╔milie Marsh, Jil Caplan) came together to pay tribute to him in his latest album "Pas tout Seul", Yvan Marc continues his journey in complete discretion, like a Jean-Louis Murat, with a new, more pop and solar album "Avant les deserts".Since the very successful Nos vies d'ours with discreet country flavors released in 2016, Yvan Marc has published two folk-pop nuggets in 2018 and 2020 (Nos Dimanches and L'Ancien Soleil) which marked an important milestone in his discography. After a generous and recreational interlude - Pas tout Seul, an album of duets, released in 2021 - shared with eleven artist friends (including Jil Caplan, Alexis HK and Les Ogres de Barback), the Altiligrian songwriter returns this year with a new opus, Avant les dÚserts.What strikes and seduces from the first listens is the general sound color of the album. The production - resolutely pop - is as delicate as the previous records, but here it is enriched with electro ingredients that are always carefully measured and which further anchor Yvan Marc in his era. Over the course of the albums, we have the sensation that his texts gain in density, in conciseness, in strength too, while his voice, deeper than ever, combines nonchalance and intensity with a lot of feeling.This is particularly the case with, M'aimes-tu?, with accents of Bashung (Jean Fauque period) and Charl╔lie Couture (Island period) where he handles singing and speaking with great ease, in a mixture of acoustic folk and electro-pop. In this autopsy of a dying relationship, Yvan Marc gives us a vitriolic self-criticism.These contrasting feelings, full of regrets and pain, appear from the opening of the album with the classy ballad A Terre, shrouded in synths, which questions desire and which evokes a loving dance from which one does not emerge unscathed. , a dangerous game tinged with jealousy and seduction in which we lose ourselves.From the next track (Le mÚpris), the rhythm intensifies and a very assertive electro beat serves.
