Des chansons écrites autour du ukulele, qui parlent d'un voyage familial dans les Pyrénées en 2016.

Enregistré et mixé en 2022, entre Pélussin (42) au gite "la lutinière", et Lyon (69) à la maison, avec des k7 trouvées dans les affaires de mon grand-père, un 4 pistes et un ordinateur.

Mercis infinis à ceux, entre autres, qui m'ont aidé et guidé dans le processus : Lætitia, Mathieu, Matthieu, Sébastien, Thomas, Florent, Estelle, Loïc.

The Perfect Place

Nothing's Changed

I started recording this record at a time when I needed to think, to meditate in my own way. Contrechamps means looking at the other side, let the accompaniments develop alone. I wanted to do something that should be forbidden, I wanted to let myself driven by hardware instead of writing actual songs.

The fourth track has been already released by AB records (in a slightly different version) on one of their awesome "Go Goal" compilations : abrecords.bandcamp.com/album/go-goal-2 
Check it out!

Also available on Bandcamp

Many thanks to many people : check the French version for the guilty names.

While polishing "a last glance", my previous self-recorded folkish LP, i had promised myself not to spend this much time writing, recording and engineering an album again. 
But the song "backwards" is more than 5 years old ; i started gathering most of the songs here about than 3 years ago. 
In this respect, "retrograde" is actually a longer road down than "a last glance".. 
More than anything else, it is a witness about 5 years of my existence ; talks of hope and desire, constance and wishes to arrange everything, going backwards and promises unfulfilled

-------------
Everything, from the lyrics to the artwork, was written, recorded and engineered by myself 
Doing everything on one's own doesn't mean doing everything alone. 
Many listeners contributed to provide me with the minimal confidence required to make this record public. Many thanks to all the folks who will recognize themselves.
