Perles, coraux & requins by Julien Gasc
Julien Gasc’s newest album ‘’ Perles, coraux & requins ‘’ is a pearl among the pearls.
10 compositions in a shape of art pop with quite progressive aura and unpretentious sweet melodies tell us a narrative that every day wonders and discoveries can turn themselves into proper songs.
Listening closely you can feel the aroma of psychodelic rock here – early Barretesque Pink Floyd feel, that dreamy and balmy atmosphere that has a kaleidoscopic quality. But we shouldn’t forget also about the traditions of French chansons that is present here.
Easily one of the best albums of this spring and this year – concise, tastefully composed and produced but foremostly beautifully led by Julien himself.
Julien Gasc s'est imposé au fil des décennies comme une voix singulière de la chanson française. Multi-instrumentiste talentueux, il est surtout connu pour son travail en solo, ainsi que pour avoir fondé et participé au groupe Aquaserge.
Julien a rejoint Stereolab en tant que claviériste et choriste pour leur tournée mondiale en 2008-2009.
This album was recorded by Anton Newcombe in his Berlin studio over three sessions between June 2023 and July 2024
