Alexandre Delano La Nuit Les Couleuvres

The quest for the memory of Olga, a (fantasized?) character from the east, resonates throughout this third album by Alexandre Delano. A sensory and carnal adventure that summons esoteric icons and animal totems in a romantic dive into loving memories, flying over times and places to focus on details and bodies. So many song scenes where natural elements, technologies or war invite themselves into marriage, never giving free rein to this passion. Ten pop songs, for which past collaborations with Jean-Philippe Toussaint or Jean-Louis Murat have left their mark on the style, sometimes turning into electronic trance, often sung in two voices, with the close participation of Samantha Julien in the choirs and drums and Fab De Macedo on production. At the end of the record, it is Olga's voice that appears, her native language and French coming together, the time for a final correspondence.
