C'est quoi maintenant ?

The songs Millevoi crafted, initially on his acoustic guitar, would ultimately morph into the rustic barnburners that made up 2016’s Desertion. Millevoi isn’t exactly a folkie, although he frequently has ‘70s-era Young and Bob Dylan in heavy rotation. “I wanted to write stuff on acoustic, but that’s not me,” he says laughing. “I’m electric, you know? I hear it all loud and distorted.” A marathon session of guitar heroics, Desertion nodded to the slow-burning chug of Young’s 1990 touchstone Ragged Glory and the atmospheric Spaghetti Western finger-picking and pluck of Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man soundtrack.

Allez, un bon vieux Lavilliers des familles !

Ah, ces (ses) anciens albums...
