Sounding simultaneously from the past, the present, and the future, the debut album 'MLDE' by Marxist Love Disco Ensemble seeks to eradicate both the trite from disco and the sobriety from political music. Half poetic, half tongue-in-cheek, this stunning compact eight-track album is influenced by Eastern European and Mediterranean 70s disco records. In the words of band member Paolo, ''it was written in response to hearing 'I love America' by Patrick Juvet. The song prompted the question: why does disco, a genre originally created by oppressed minorities, eventually become synonymous with Western capitalist excess?" MLDE seeks to break this connection.

Merging disco, post-disco 80s pop, and boogie into the fold, 'MLDE' was recorded using only analogue instruments, giving it warmth and space. Recorded on cassette, ½ inch tape, this gives moments of lo-fi abstraction between the beats of an aggressive, tight drum kit. Instruments used for this recording range from saxophone, trumpet, harpsichord, guitar, and rare analogue synthesisers. The bass sound is shaped by early 80s boogie records, whilst the influence of artists such as Hamlet Minassian can be heard in some of MLDE's more driving-disco outings, such as 'Hues of Red'. In the tradition of Soviet vocal group records, which the band has studied, some songs are sung by a vocal quartet in homage to this tradition. 

Tracks such as '1905' and 'Brumaire' have a greater pop aesthetic, with Paolo's vocal style on these more pop-driven songs evoking early 80s bands such as Orange Juice and Chas Jankel. 

The format and message of pop and disco are commonly viewed just to entertain and move bodies around a dancefloor; however, lyrically, the subjects range from dialectical and historical materialism, class struggle, Marxist theory and praxis, as well as the concept of Marxist disco music. 

Adding the icing to the cake, mastering don Joker aka Liam McLean dusted the album with his magic, giving the songs space where the room is needed, as well as the kick and punch demanded by the modern dancefloor.

5 ans après la parution de son 2ème EP ‘Temporary Fiction’, Fellini Félin est enfin de retour.

Alors qu’il bourlingue entre Berlin, Bordeaux et Paris, c’est à Marseille que le Bordelais a posé l’ancre pour réaliser ce nouveau disque.

L’ironie du sort faisant bien les choses, Sebastien récupère alors les clefs de l’ancien studio de l’utra-productif rappeur et producteur JUL et se replonge sur ses maquettes entamées en 2019 dans les studios de Délicieuse Musique.

Fidèle à lui même, c’est au gré de perpétuelles remises en question qu’il finit par terminer ‘All I Did’, un hymne à l’insatisfaction chronique ressentie lorsqu’il lutte avec son oeuvre.

09 - Bateau ivre

j'ai lu dans un livre que la mort était Belle
Qui fallait pas grand chose pour l'obtenir
Quand j'la vois dans la rue dans un animal
Elle a des ailes elle a les yeux noirs
Quand l'avenir m'apparaît comme un rêve
J'ne vois que l'amour, les yeux de ma sœur,
J'attends que revienne le soleil, caché derrière un article

Je n'ai plus la joie de vivre
Je suis dans un bateau ivre
Je n'ai plus la joie de vivre
Je suis dans un bateau ivre
Et je tangue et je tangue et je tangue
Je pense au bras de ma femme
Et je tangue et je tangue et je tangue
Je n’vais pas dormir ce soir

Arrive les larmes de crocodile
Avons-nous l'amour que l'on mérite
Au fond je n’reste qu’insensible
A cette douleur qui l’habite

Et je tangue et je tangue et je tangue
Je pense au bras de ma femme
Et je tangue et je tangue et je tangue
Je n'vais pas dormir ce soir
