Red Axes is Niv Arzi and Dori Sadovnik, two young men who have always lived in Tel-Aviv and have been making music together since the noughties. Ballad of the Ice is their debut album. Their artistic travels have taken them from the rock scene to the dancefloors, and to creating an album. More than a summary, this LP is an invitation to discover a singular musical identity: a ballad of the ice, a song as light as love and cold as a tunnel, springy as a dance step and deep as nostalgia.

Originally, the two young men were part of the band Red Cotton. Their musical obsessions were very distinct and have never really left them since: post-punk, new-wave, synth-pop, gothic rock, italo-disco and all the other styles with double-barrelled names that flourished in the underground of the western world at the turn of the 70s and 80s. They were barely born then, and Israel was hardly a promised land for these musical trends. Nonetheless, today the people who love these styles, at the forefront of which Cosmo Vitelli, founder of the label I’m a Cliché who signed them, recognise Red Axes’ talent for creating tracks that are not only impeccably referenced but also terribly current, in their production and in their intentions.

In 2009, house and techno made a noisy entrance into their lives. They were DJs by then and Tel Aviv was all hedonism and crazy parties. Red Cotton was over and Red Axes began. In 2012, I’m a Cliché introduced them into a community of people who enjoyed what the musical press could refer to as ‘cold-rave’. Four EPs were released on the French label that discovered sharp acts such as Yuksek, Azari & III and Simian Mobile Disco. Add to these a bunch of edits that went spinning on everyone’s turntables, remixes and originals that attracted labels such as Kill the JD, Throne of Blood, Correspondant, Clouded Vision, Relish and others – these built Red Axes’ reputation as the makers of solid dancefloor tools. Meanwhile, being resident DJs of the Bootleg in Tel Aviv gave them the ability to play versatile, broaden their scope, improve their way of thinking the music. It also allowed them to rub shoulders with some of their favourite DJs, from Ivan Smagghe and Jennifer Cardini to the Cómeme crew. These established DJs quickly became major supporters.

But Red Axes didn’t get lost in a loop of never-ending clubbing. The extent of their research is evident on the album. Apart from beautiful vocals by Abrão, a member of various Brazilian punk bands of the 80s, Arzi and Sadovnik handled all the instruments and machines. The influence of the types of music they love – which aren’t limited to the ones we just referred to – is inevitably present, but translates in unexpected ways. There’s a lot of maturity in these songs, memories, hashed-out feelings. This music could emanate from much older men; it brings on a certain saudade. But it’s never heavy and doesn’t rely on dusty clichés: Red Axes are very current and love to have fun above all else. They tread on ice with a certain elegance, ice that mustn’t crack or melt.

After ‘Head Like Glass’, a pure cold-wave intro, Red Axes take us on a repetitive stroll of light percussion with ‘Kicks Out of You’. Then comes the rock track ‘Watkins’, followed by a brass dub ‘Only a Clown Can Catch an Axe’. The poignant ‘Papa Sooma’ feels like it’s coming out of an old cassette player, and ‘Road to the Hills’ is all intimate house feelings. ‘Neon’ will make you clap your hands on the stage of an urban western, while ‘Candy’ is a toe-tapping Mancunian devil. ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’, a Bauhaus cover, adds a layer of groove in the bat cave, and finally, ‘Dreams Like a Tale’ closes the album in a psychedelic mist.

RESTER AVEC TOI (Feat. Miss Kittin)

1er single sortie le 18 septembre 2015

« Rester Avec Toi », mixé par Ash Workman (Metronomy, Christine & The Queens) avec Miss Kittin qui prête sa voix, est née d'une punchline : « Si je sors, ce n'est pas pour rentrer ! ».

Jo, chanteur, auteur, la note et le sait déjà, il tient là les prémices d'une chanson. Ce va et vient humide, ce cheval de brouillard qui hennit au loin, ce beat reptilien, la forme est à la fois entraînante, sensuelle, .. psychédélique.

Les Fils du Calvaire est un trio parisien (Jo, Damien et Clément), aujourd'hui partagé entre la capitale hexagonale et Berlin.

Ils sont aussi les créateurs de l'hybride électronique dOP signé sur Circus Company, le label ayant sorti le premier album de Nicolas Jaar.

« Rester avec toi » est le 1er extrait de « Fils de », le 1er album des Fils du Calvaire qui paraîtra début 2016.

Pour nous, ce premier album de Guillaume Teyssier est un espoir retrouvé, notre déclaration d'amour à la chanson française, dans la lignée des Bashung, Ferrer, Gainsbourg, Balavoine, Daho et autres Polnareff.

Guillaume n'est pas exactement un nouveau venu mais il s'agit ici d'une renaissance.
Auteur d'un album sous le nom 'My Sister Klaus' puis de la Bande Originale du film 'La Femme Invisible', il nous aura fallu un certain temps pour le convaincre de chanter en français.
Rares sont les musiciens français qui parviennent à conjuguer une sensibilité musicale étonnante, des textes subtils et un chant impeccable. Guillaume Teyssier est ce qu'on appelle en anglais un song-writer, espèce en voie de disparition, de ceux qui composent des morceaux avec une guitare ou un piano et leur voix. A partir de versions brutes et minimales de ses chansons, Guillaume fabrique des petits bijoux pop à l'aide de ses musiciens Thomas et Peter, et de son producteur Joakim qui a enregistré l'album à Paris puis mixé dans son nouveau studio à New York.
On pourrait se prêter au jeu des influences, mais ce qui caractérise Guillaume Teyssier c'est justement ce songwriting qui transparaît au travers de productions hétéroclites, la cold wave de 'Shadow Dancer', les accents berbères de 'Give It Up', le psychédélisme de '2048', l'électronique lo-fi de 'Vortex Disco' - qui a au passage converti Sebastian (Ed Banger) en fan instantané, ou le synthétisme glacé des 'Princes Des Villes', reprise étonnante de Michel Berger.
Au fil des écoutes de PARIS VORTEX sa patte se dessine, un blues cosmique, un dandysme un peu lunaire. Enfin, pour véritablement apprécier Guillaume Teyssier il faut aussi l'avoir vu une fois jouer ses morceaux seul au piano ou à la guitare, dans leur minimalisme habité, tout comme un Sebastien Tellier n'est jamais meilleur que seul au piano avec sa Ritournelle. Ne le ratez donc pas la prochaine fois qu'il passe près de chez vous et comme dirait Deleuze, tombez amoureux de sa part de folie.
