Background/Info:
Feu Follet is a
French solo-project from the Lorraine region. That’s important to mention as
the titles of the album reflect some folklore from that region. This album is
also available on cassette.
Content:
Feu Follet doesn’t
deal with a clear music style. The global sound approach and especially the
analogue electronics are getting us back to the 80s, but there also is a kind
of dreamy and experimental touch hanging over the songs. The main part and
songs remain instrumental versions, but you’ll notice a few vocal parts.
Electronics and guitar have been used to compose the songs.
+ + + :
“Le Champ Des
Morts” (in English “The Field Of The Dead”) has something refreshing. It’s an
easy listening opus with a few songs revealing potential. I especially
recommend “Mi-Bête Mi-Foret” revealing cool synth lines mixed with guitar play.
More globally I like the retro synth sounds, the deep bass lines and the dry
snares, which are all elements clearly driven by the 80s spirit.
– – – :
I’m missing vocal
parts on this album. There’re a few, but generally speaking you sometimes get
the impression listening to a demo where the singer still has to add his voice.
Conclusion:
The vintage style
of the production is interesting, but there’s no real accomplishment. This
album must be the basis to move on!
Best songs:
“Mi-Bête Mi-Foret”,
“La Queue Du Loup”, “La Dame Des Eaux”.
