A two headed logo for a six legged band, electronic bass for a rock record, Solange La Frange uses it's
ears as a compass and heads out north on a southbound road. Appetite for destructuration has led the
way to a raw, basic, eponymous first album. The trio, from Vevey, Switzerland, were able to capture on
tape the wild hedonism of their live performances: Wakawak, a poppy Apache western dance tune or
Open The Door My Dear both sweat of childish abandon. The frantic rage of Love Affair opens the parade
followed by the punk cavalcade of Elektrik City, before giving way to more edgy sounds (Grind, I'm Wild)
Written in Nantes at Katerine's drummer's place, recorded in Bristol by Alistair Chant (PJ Harvey),
mixed and mastered in Switzerland, Solange La Frange is a brutally overwhelming record. The basic
original line-up is unchanged: Tristan Basso plays analog keyboards and machines, Julie Hugo sings
and Luca Mango plays bass and guitar. But the band also incorporated a drummer and a few organic
instruments: congas, bells and cymbals give the recordings a tribal swing, precluding any sense of
electro-by-numbers and placing the band in a more subtle grainy noise territory. You Broke My Heart
Baby (feat. John Parish) or the instrumental Morse are fine examples of these risky out of bounds excursions.
This fertile musical territory has benefited Julie Hugo: without letting go of the orgiastic energy that defines the
band, she unleashes an array of lascivious vocals, voracious chants and savage choruses, culminating on the dry,
weeping softness of The Black Rocks.
Born of pop music, raised in rough and arid badlands, dressed in elegant graphic clothing by Thomas Koenig, Solange
La Frange is an unpredictable, audacious and truly dazzling creature.

Je vois pas ce que SLF fait dans la catégorie Techno Dj Dance, pour moi, c'est du rock, du punk ou encore de l'electro ou tout ça à la fois, mais bon... A part cette petite critique, il y a longtemps que je n'ai pas entendu un album aussi convaincant du premier au dernier titre. Cela n'arrive qu'une ou deux fois par an. Conclusion ? Achète celui de Solange La Frange et retourne chez toi ! t'es tranquille pour la saison fraîche. Seule raison de sortir (si vraiment il te fallait te dégourdir) c'est d'aller voir un de leurs concerts: ça déchire grave et c'est le meilleur moteur à popotins que je connaisse!
hey zäme!
Cooli songs! Lueged doch bi eus mal verbii :)
Wiiterhin viel Spass und Erfolg! ;)
Hallo Zusammen
Wir sind Orymus aus dem Kanton Freiburg. Seit einigen Jahren widmen wir uns dem leidenschaftlichen Liederschreiben. Mal brachial und brutal, mal zart und zerbrechlich zelebrieren wir eine Art Musik in rockiger, progressiver Form ohne grosses Posertum, dafür lieber mit technischen Feinheiten.
Schaut doch einmal bei uns vorbei und hört die Songs an. Ich freue mich auf ein Feedback.
Liebe Grüsse
Check out our new video clip !!
