I won&#8217;t waste time : this album of the <em>Crossroad Copeland <\/em>collective is already on my list of albums of the year 2023. That&#8217;s it. Now, of course, why? Because I found in this octet led by Montreal guitarist and composer Ben Copland Gilbert similar to a big part of the ecstatic pleasure I had more than 20 years ago filling my ears with Mike Patton&#8217;s exploding adventures with Mr Bungle. Yes, this is the kind of heady ride that crosses and fuses jazz, metal, rap and lyricism like a gifted child would build a castle out of diverse Lego blocks. Musical nuclear fusion at its best (take note physicists : the musical world has done it way before you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crossroad Copeland-High\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5XVCj5MNfxI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the majority of the pieces of the album, the gleaming horns, the insistent guitars, the muscular bass and the unleashed drums are the deafening testimonies (yes!!!) of a fruitful dialogue between various stylistic inspirations very well stirred in a broth of burst culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially true of the first \u00be (or so) of the album in which one savors the perfect mixing of textures as opposite as those of a saturated and grating guitar, vibrating brass choruses, sometimes rap and elsewhere the beautiful angelic voice, very French sixties (like a Michel Legrand musical) of Jeanne Laforest. I&#8217;m thinking here of the first two tracks on the record, <em>Lift Off <\/em>and <em>High<\/em>, which propel us into the stratosphere of jubilant eclecticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere, it&#8217;s heavy and rather acidic blues, and then, a few health breaks allow us to catch our breath and realign our panting Zenitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crossroad Copeland-Playground\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BPQYnwwR2IQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conclusion of this exciting opus is surprisingly gentle, as if there was no need double dip in that kind of energy. A bit like the finale of the <em>Lord of the Rings <\/em>trilogy, a long coda that let the emotions settle. Some had criticized it. In the end, I say that&#8217;s exactly what had to be done. Same thing here. We are given time to breathe and assimilate gradually every bit of intense emotion we\u2019ve been thrown at.Bonus : this lets us appreciate even more accurately the musicality of the whole band, capable of as beautiful things in delicate mode as in &#8220;all out&#8221; mode. Last track, &#8220;Playground,&#8221; a Zeppelin-esque hymn could be, willing or not, a wink to <em>Stairway<\/em>. Nice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seems to me that if it doesn&#8217;t make you want to let <em>Cope Land<\/em> rattle your cage right away, it never will. And, if you like it, don&#8217;t just listen to it. Buy it! They deserve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Line up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben Copland Gilbert, guitar, rap, compositions, lead<br>Carl Mayotte, bass<br>Alex Desjardins, trombone<br>Violet H\u00e9bert et Antoine Tardif, trumpets<br>Gregory Kustka-Tsimbidis, drums<br>Jeanne Laforest, voice<br>Hugo Leclerc, saxophone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ouuuuuuhhhhh that&#8217;s good.
