sur un fond ambient soul, essai d'une nouvelle texture et effets de guitare

just believe in you

A dream pop excursion into the meaning of love...
Have you ever said those three words without meaning them?
Or ever heard them, but knew they were a lie?
Whispered without care, tossed into the void as a gesture of placation...
A preoccupation 
A mental vacation

A ticket to easy street
Or manipulation...

Actions always speak louder than words 🖤

Lyrics:

I used to think you had a heart
But now I know it fell apart
The emptiness you gave to me
Some cheap apology

I love you
(I love you)

I Love You

 This song is the fourth Carl has written and composed with a member of Eclectic Collective in mind. This time JJ is being honored, and we all agree that he deserves it, too. Carl is a wonderful singer, songwriter, composer, and musician, and we're all grateful that he's joined our collective. 
  Here's what Carl had to say about it. "The music for this was a personal song written to myself which I never really released as I was trying to say goodbye to my own ego in the song. From that point of view I have always seen the piece as a great bit of personal therapy for me. None of the original lyrics survived and JJ gets painted by the new words .. But I thought it would be nice to reuse the composition for this. There was no big reason for it only when I decided to start a 60bpm song for JJ on piano .. I started playing Goodbye Ego and the rest is history..."
  We tackled this song like we would any other, though. Mark was first up on this, adding his VST magic in the form of a Chinese gong, as well as the cello you hear throughout. The subject of our adulation came next, with JJ adding not only his hot, yet minimal Latin percussion and essential piano, but moody synth, as well. Ken added his spicy drums after that, and once they were down, Josh jumped in with his four string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Josh also added the vocal chant at the end.
  All that was left was for Stephen to mix it all down for us, which he did in his always pro manner. But before he did, he also added some subtle, yet stirring ebow on his guitar. 
  As stated above, this is a continuation of our songs about us. Hope no one thinks it's arrogant. When Carl presents us with these little treasures, it's hard not to run with them, though. Always a ton of fun to make music together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Praying hands
Whatever cause
Once our greater good not lost
Bored children create their fun
We shelve French horn for this fine one
"Nice one lads" We read it all!
Vacation taken
To JJ calls
Neighbour to good Mickey Moore
Find Michigan piano pure

JJ calls
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us

Down the road city of cars
To Howell front deck
Dad and Guitars
We jam that love then tell the world
Love and service human highway knurled
Good bi-product of happiness sought
With Croatian fun to cloud we court

Terrell Terminator in Jungle
Predator for good
Keys like Mr Bungle
Faith in more like we could
He Thanks you
It's lifestyle
Built from a porch
Good collective friend
Keep lighting that torch

Some moments sealed, marked and moulded
Pure intention
Dark blindfolded
Howl from human to Howell good soul
Keyed keystone as collective role

JJ calls
Darkness falls
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
JJ calls

JJ calls
Just for us

'Headlines and Other Distractions' a bright Jazz Fusion track inspired by the ceaseless noise and distraction on what is presented to us as "news". Lies, propaganda and spin.

Mathieu is an independent musician exploring a DIY, lo-fi and intimate universe, at the crossroads of post-punk, krautrock and experimental post-rock. His tracks move between raw atmospheres, airy guitars and hypnotic rhythms, creating a climate that is at once fragile, poetic and deeply sincere.

Alongside his solo explorations, he forms with singer, writer and painter Mireille "Mimi" Lévis the duo Spleen Overseas, a French-Canadian project where melancholic poetry, raw sound textures and hints of indie bossa meet. Together, they create an alternative, intimate and timeless music, nourished by their personal experiences as well as a shared artistic sensitivity open to poetry, painting and improvisation.

📡 Whether solo or with Spleen Overseas, the approach remains the same: to explore without compromise, embrace imperfections, and let the sounds tell their own stories.

Mathieu  est un musicien indépendant qui explore un univers DIY, lo-fi et intimiste, à la croisée du post-punk, du krautrock et du post-rock expérimental. Ses morceaux oscillent entre atmosphères brutes, guitares aériennes et rythmiques hypnotiques, créant un climat à la fois fragile, poétique et profondément sincère.

En parallèle de ses explorations personnelles, il forme avec la chanteuse, autrice et peintre Mireille "Mimi" Lévis le duo Spleen Overseas, projet franco-canadien où se rencontrent poésie mélancolique, textures sonores brutes et touches de bossa indie. Ensemble, ils construisent une musique alternative, intime et intemporelle, nourrie aussi bien par leurs expériences personnelles que par une sensibilité artistique ouverte à la poésie, à la peinture et à l’improvisation.

📡 Que ce soit en solo ou avec Spleen Overseas, l’approche reste la même : explorer sans compromis, jouer avec les imperfections, et laisser les sons raconter leurs propres histoires.
