The call of London
As the emaines ravel, the new album of placebo takes an increasingly concrete form. 3 months before its exit, scheduled for March 13, Rock Mag were invited in the London studios of the trio to discover 9 titles from of excluded.
Monday November 28. We pass the customs, then the gantries of safety, finally the door of the eurostar of 11h43. Does the train start, exceeds the Stage of France, the station of Lille, the Channel tunnel? One hour later, it is the suburbs of London which appears, then the power station of the small pocket of Animals de Pink Floyd. The more one approaches and the more the excitation goes up.
Arrived at the station of Waterloo, we jump in a typical taxi londonnien. The driver makes us cross the city while leading like a patient, on the spot laisant the streets, the last buses with imperial condemned to disappear and the phone boxes rubicondes. Nousa let us rrivons in front of studios RAK, with two steps of Regent' S Park, with one hour in advance. Even if it means to kill time, we decide to go to drown it in one pint with the pub of at side. Of return at the appointed time, we are accomodated by the staff of EMI, which installs us in a show of the 1st stage. The corridors are armoured of matos... Those of placebo, but also of Gomez which records in the studio 1h15min later, one introduces us into studio 3. They all are there, Brian, Stefa,; Steve, Dimitri Tikovoï and some technicians. It misses only Flood, which mixes at side. Brian explains us why we are the first lucky devils to listen to the album and precise that mixes it is not completely finished. We will be able to understand 9 their 16 new pieces, the majority without title. Between 11 and 13 will be reproduced on the final version of the opus. Even if the excitation to present the animal is read on the faces of the 4 homes, it is seen that confidence reigns. They seem sure them. Brian Molko proposes red wine and beer to us, and shows us seats where to settle. The technician of the sound system, finally, lance it for what I have traversed 347,6 km for this morning.
Track 1 (No title yet)
the piece starts of a blow and poses at once a rhythmic rapid, containing guitar obsessed by only one frantically repeated agreement. The melody, very fascinating, allured immediately. The battery is entêtante, the guitars pushed in their last cuttings off, one perceives some arrangements derrières. Molko repeats "Don' T give up ' causes I want you". A light bridge suspends then placebo in a short pause before the return of the large rock'n'roll for an end as sudden as the beginning. Concurrently to me, the foot of Dimitri beats measurement.
Track 2: Meds
the intro is very close to that of Every You Every Me, a female-intonated voice - VV, of Kills - starts to sing, joined soon by that of Molko. The two songs mix in choruses on guitars urgantes, the pressure goes up of a notch, the 6-cords are saturated, it is the climbing until the end, which fall suddenly on the same agreement from dry as in intro.
Track 3: Infrared
A starts it piece, one thinks one half-second of Taste In Men for environment, but in a darker register. The refrain is extremely attracting, one is inside as of the first listening. The verses are a structure voix/clavier/battery, the bridge in voix/battery. Up to now, the 3 heard parts could be as many single.
Track 4: Does One of have Kind
the intro (xylophone or marimba?) quickly leave the place to a very black verse, which points out the type of sound that one found on Sleeping With Ghosts. The continuation is a flood of guitars which gives us illico under pressure. What one hears is more undue, more Black Market Music. The guitars are really ahead, Brian Molko releases in its words a "I Am the quite relevant One" because, precisely, environment points out that of I Am the One of Smashing Pumpkins. The whole finishes on a sentence repeated several times by Molko, only without instrumentation: "One the signal of the world, you get nothing done"
Track 5: Space Monkey
the battery introduces the piece, accompanied by scattered metal noises. The song is really dark and the very serious guitars. The voice arises nevertheless from the shade to adopt a tone much more clearly thereafter. Metal choppers fall behind plane, the verses are grandiloquents with keyboards epic before the cords. A small pause with the piano intervenes, accompanied by the murmurs of Molko, then one sets out again in the heroic one before a outro without keyboard on agreements in réverb' and a xylophone which shells the last seconds.
Track 6: Follow the Cops Back Home
the intro is in echo, the rates/rhythms which follow are faster, but accompanied by a calm song. The melody is built on the medium of the piece with the contribution of keyboards. The guitars are whirling and limpid, saturated but peaceful, it is the most luminous beach until there.
Track 7: Post Blue
Of the guitars drowned in water glass seem mimer a childish melody. The song is a little rappé and agrees pauses which precede by the epic transitions on keyboards. The feedbacks of guitars strew the verses, Molko présisent "It' S in the Water baby". Ca gets along and, during the bridge, Brian even seems to put the head in a bottle before all does not finish on undue rates/rhythms.
Track 8: In The Cold Light Of Morning
As of the intro, one pene with Tim Burton. Molko seems to tell a horrific tale. One intends a dry guitar to be detached from stagnation, then the whole leaves in a black waltz before a solo organ. The idea is done more precise: it is the band of a dark adaptation of Amélie Poulain under the snow, filmed by Tim Burton. It is the piece more clamp as a whole, it is completed like a bad dream of puppets in black and white.
Track 9: Song To Say Goodbye
One sets out again directly in the speed. Molko lets escape its sentences one, one feels the guitars behind which trépignent while waiting to be able to release itself completely. However, the continuation is not the had a presentiment of storm, even if she is irritated a little. The 2nd refrain starts in a trip with guitars with rhythmic tinted of Without You I' m Nothing covered with a layer of furious keyboard. The piece finishes on a continuation without end of "Goodbyes" repeated by Molko.
As a whole, the 9 tracks emphasize a less smooth sound and much more rock' N roll that Sleeping With Ghosts, but the mix not being finished at the time of listening, one do not know if the final version will keep this same rough spirit and sinks... Steve Hewitt would assure in any case us the tendency, a few days later by telephone.
