There is a plant called saxifrage here in France. A plant with a fierce willpower that does not bypass the stone, but surrounds it, pierces and splits. Here, the music goes like this, as we know from the ‘shop suey’ experiments of Bitter Sweet (Quark records, 2012). This duo is made up of a vocalist-flutist and an electronic drummer. Elise Caron is also a drill for shrewd folklore, while Edward Perraud also dances with that a touch of flamboyance drilled in the dandy tradition. The junction, the arrangement of these two personalities pushes the common on shores of infinite tenderness. Of jostled tenderness, where stubborn miniatures (La Guerre), always a little strange, always a little disturbing, are chiselled. And this is the very pretty inspiration, made with two heads. Caron and Perraud know how to get lost and even lose your ear on territories criss-crossed by the tangent. Electros, intimate language, shattering improvisations. It hits the stone, common sense (Madrigal) and your eardrum. The paradox seems to be part of the Perraud/Caron pair, a paradox which, beneath its little face of oxymoron, will look for a familiar, stinking, with the same care that one used to stink of shirts, of something new. Silence and the digging of the sound matter play an equal part, the public thing invites itself here (La Meute et le troupeau), thought is heavily active while remaining hidden. Happy Collapse plays his happy collages, with this trick of the gardeners collecting splinters of split stones.
