Description:
With his new album "Dead Again", Prix Libre hits «teenage but necessary melodies» / « destroyed ballroom songs.” Mi slow saturated, mi dub foggy, mi pop disfigured, the bloody melodies of the 7 tracks come to pick (or rip them from your body) the hearts at full blast. Distortion, blurring of tracks, the hybrid voice comes titillate memories and senses. Invading the space, sounds from elsewhere come to disturb the crystalline of the modulated high-pitched voice/timbre. Camp style, voice overloaded with slow lover or mermaid devouring, guitar sometimes contemplative sometimes brittle, loops and loops heady cold percussion, Prix Libre sounds like a prom failed intoxicating, as a sorrow of love a little pleasant, like a weird alien nuptial dance in a smoky suburb... Slasher mood in the hypersensitive aesthetic, it’s the trip between friends that goes wrong, the exacerbated neon of intense life that splashes like blood, emotions that take the guts but make you want to live/ survive ... The record is a vibrant coming of age, a transcendent initiatory adventure, in which everything can turn into drama in an instant... or joyful and casual. Between malaise and ecstasy, Prix Libre brings back adolescence and gives his cold punk dancing a melancholic intensity that creeps you out, and reminds you of the importance of raw emotions. Prix Libre is a French singer-songwriter. Guitarist and pop melodist, he cultivates a singular appearance. He is the composer and interpreter of many popular hits, including: Tanta Ilusíon, Tu Sigues, Le Supermarché, Me Alegro de Verte ou encore Ma Mamie.
