FRANK RABEYROLLES – A Ghost by the Sea
(WOOL RECORDINGS)
Morceau de la playlist : This is not a library
Dans la foulée de Materia Prima dont nous vous avions déjà dit beaucoup de bien, Frank Rabeyrolles continue son exploration d’une musique a-rythmique, à dominante synthétique, tentative de poésie sonore dans un monde où les belles vibrations ne sont plus que des instants fugaces.
Review in The Joy of violent movement (NY)
Frank Rabeyrolles is a French singer/songwriter and guitarist, who has released material under a variety of different names and outfits — but throughout his career, the French artist has developed a reputation as an obsessive and frenzied craftsman, whose work has often been described as otherworldly: centered round reverb-drenched guitars, Rabeyrolles’ work thematically touches upon distant reminiscences, unfinished business, frustration and more.
Back in 2019, Rabeyrolles released one EP each season of that calendar year. The end result was four EPS of atmospheric pop and lo-fi written and recorded solo and/or with Sarah Lucide in a Bedroom Pop fashion. That March, the French singer/songwriter and guitarist came up with the idea of recording a song with a group of friends at La Paloma Studio in Nîmes, France, giving the song a different life. Rabeyrolles recruited a backing band of friends that included Drive Blind‘s and My Tigerside‘s Rémi Saboul, Marvin‘s Gregoire Bredel, Carole Fauré, My Favorite Horses‘ Jean Alvarez and Le Super Homard‘s Laurent Elfassy. The end result is the live version of “Winter One,” a brooding and slow-burning bit of dream pop and shoegaze centered around shimmering guitars, Rabeyrolles’ plaintive vocals and an enormous hook. Sonically, the track — to my ears, at least — is a seamless synthesis of R.E.M. and The Verve.
The live footage was filmed by Naomi Heinrich and Damien Oliveres and catches Rabeyrolles and his collaborators
in an intimate, blue-lit setting.
