<\/a>It\u2019s either an act of great confidence or great arrogance to start a record mid-conversation, but Montreal band Avec le Soleil Sortant de Sa Bouche just goes for it on its second album Pas Pire Pop, I Love You So Much<\/i> (Constellation Records). The album literally kicks off where their last record, Zubberdust<\/i>, left off, with the opening track \u201cTrans-Pop Express\u201d picking up a musical motif heard on the closing track (\u201c\u00c0 Partir de Dor\u00e9navant\u201d) of the band\u2019s previous album. It\u2019s the sonic equivalent of walking into a movie that\u2019s already underway, and it shows that the quartet, whose name translates to \u201cwith the sun in her mouth,\u201d doesn\u2019t mind a little bit of disorientation.<\/p>\nPas Pire Pop<\/i> is comprised of three different sections: \u201cTrans-Pop Express,\u201d Aliz\u00e9 et Margaret D. Midi Moins le Quart. Sur la Plage, un Palmier Ensanglant\u00e9,\u201d and \u201cTourner Incessamment dans L\u2019\u00e9clatement Euphorique de Soi\u2014Road Painting Ahead.\u201d (The second and third parts translate to \u201cAliz\u00e9 and Margaret D. Midi minus the quarter. On the beach, a bloody palm tree\u201d and “Turn incessantly into the euphoric burst of self,\u201d respectively.) Each suite is then broken into two, three, and four individual tracks. Such extrapolation is further explored in the actual compositions as each individual track seems to be further broken down into smaller parts. An overarching idea may lead to a different destination, which eventually loops back to the original idea, before heading off to something completely different. But while there are undeniable starts and breaks throughout the record, with ideas being introduced only to be discarded, one could also just view the album as a very structured jam session, which is not as self-indulgent as it may sound.<\/p>\n
Aesthetically, Avec le Soleil is equally restless as its compositions, taking snatches of Afropop, krautrock, psych-rock, dance punk, and noise rock and shaking them up in a Boggle cube. There are vocals, but they are of the \u201cextra instrument\u201d variety as singer Jean-Sebastien Truchy (also of Fly Pan Am) seems to deliver more rhythmic phonetic shouts than actual lyrics. But this is not a record that\u2019s trying to prove its cleverness. Rather, it\u2019s simply playful while being accessible enough that you won\u2019t need a translation to get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
