· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Officiellement formé en 2006, Automelodi est en fait la suite logique de la démarche électro-pop entamée à la fin des années 90 par Xavier Paradis sous le pseudonyme Arnaud Lazlaud. Paradis se présente maintenant en formule solo mais a également travaillé au fil des années en compagnie de différents collaborateurs, tels que Hayden Payne (Phase Fatale) ou Liz Wendelbo (Xeno & Oaklander), autant sur scène qu’en studio. Souvent nommée Impossible Folk, la musique d’Automelodi porte en sa base un mélange d’influences du vingtième siècle, comme la poésie d’une Brigitte Fontaine récitée sur de l’Italo-Disco désaxé, ou alors au son de synthés japonais trafiqués, dans un échange survolté au fond d’un immeuble brutaliste d’Europe orientale. En réalité (et malgré l’usage d’instruments dits “modernes”), Automelodi suit une trajectoire intemporelle située en parallèle du discours technocentriste souvent associé à la musique électronique. Après un premier album éponyme paru en 2010 sur le défunt label new-yorkais Wierd Records, le deuxième microsillon, Surlendemains acides, paru à l’origine en 2013, fut par la suite réédité par le label Holodeck Records. Une longue tournée européenne avait permis en 2019 de présenter le troisième album, Mirages au futur verre-brisé. Depuis 2020, Paradis partage son temps entre différentes tournées, l’écriture de nouveau matériel pour Automelodi et des travaux de mixage et remix pour différents artistes. Un nouvel EP intitulé Cavallo doit paraître à l’automne 2025.

Formed in 2006, Automelodi is a constantly evolving project based around the solo work of songwriter/producer Xavier Paradis. With a career that spans over two decades, Paradis is a well-established figure in Montreal’s dense electronic music culture, releasing over time with various projects, performance line-ups, or under different monikers such as Arnaud Lazlaud. He also collaborates with artists like Liz Wendelbo (of Xeno & Oaklander) as the duo Liz and László, as well as Latvian Producer Dmitry Distant. Automelodi’s music embraces and re-contextualizes a spectrum of influences that include the lesser-known European synthpop and post-punk of the latter Twentieth Century, combined with literary stylizations reminiscent of Gallic songwriters such as Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Fontaine—with nearly all vocals delivered in French. Following the self-released first EP, an eponymous album was released in 2010 by the now defunct Brooklyn label Wierd Records. The second LP, “Surlendemains acides”, was released in digital format in 2013. A third LP, “Mirages au futur verre-brisé” was released in 2019 on Austin’s Holodeck Records. The release was followed that same year by an extensive tour of Europe. Automelodi resumed touring in 2023, with several dates across the USA and is currently working on a collection of new songs, including an EP and some singles to be released in 2025. In parallel to his work as Automelodi, Paradis has also been very active over the past two decades as a music producer, focusing primarily on mixing and remixing for other projects and artists such as Bootblacks, Silent EM, The Harrow and Laura Krieg.
