Ginger

· by Alain Brunet

Leader of Louise Attaque and Tarmac, Bashung’s collaborator on Bleu Pétrole, Gaëtan Roussel lit the fuse on an album of incendiary songs, created with the participation of Tim Goldsworthy (ex-DFA Records), singer Renee Scroggins (ESG), and songwriter Gordon Gano (Violent Femmes). The evanescence of our lives “in the shadows and the light” is at the core of this album, which moves at the hectic pace of all our daily emergencies. On the excellent Ginger, Roussel displays his acute sense of songcraft, his grasp of the studio universe where he significantly shifts away from expectations, but above all his knack for the substantial, expressed with an apparent literary simplicity.
