Ben Mazué and Jérémy Frérot, tender duo
No need to introduce Ben Mazué anymore.
Sensitive and gifted author, he shines with his very own way of putting words to the evils.
Currently on tour with his 4th album
Paradis
, he has just unveiled the clip
Gaffe to others
in a duet with Jérémy Frérot, a long-time friend, for whom he also writes songs.
With the delicacy that characterizes it, the tandem evokes their desire not to hurt anyone, their empathy.
To listen without moderation.

Rude awakening with No Money Kids
The clip is simple and worked at the same time. The music, an invigorating psychedelic electro rock. Born from a meeting in the studio in 2013, No Money Kids, a Parisian duo composed of Félix Matschulat (guitar-vocals) and JM Pelatan (bass-machines-samples), is preparing the release of their fourth album,
Factory
, scheduled for November 26.
Brother
is the third single from the record to reach our ears, after
Why I'm So Cold
and
No Matter
. Influenced as well by The Kills, Beck or Sparklehorse, the artists have fun with a man in nightwear, fixed to his television. Exasperated - then seduced - by the unwanted advertisements, he ends up sinking into madness. A classic parody of our consumer society.

The Woman's Cry of Alert
While waiting for the release of their film
Paradigms
, the group led by Sacha Got and Marlon returns with a new single.
Too Much Pain
is apparently a children's rhyme.
It is, in fact, a warning signal in a world threatened by climate catastrophe.
Hence the desire to blackmail the young generation.
The corpses of birds are followed by images of polluted oceans and burning forests.
All punctuated by performers in rudimentary animal costumes.
Attention: arachnophobes to abstain.

Placebo effect
Since
Loud Like Love
, the alternative rock group has remained low key.
Eight years to the day after the release of their last album, without warning and brilliantly, Placebo delivers
Beautiful Jame
s in a nostalgic rock and strident effects.
A small bomb that seems to indicate the return of the duo.
Last May, Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal announced the preparation of an eighth album, publication instantly removed from their networks.
We dive with both feet into this exhilarating piece.

Parcels sprinkles its sunny elixir
Neat, intimate, bright, disco, here is the new single from Parcels, more intoxicating than the others.
With
Somethinggreater
, Australians with sun-worn blond hair announce the release of a double disc,
Day / Night
, on November 5th.
If their debut album is unanimously acclaimed by critics and acclaimed by fans, what more can we say about this already promising second album?
Produced by the Parcels themselves, the help of Owen Pallett (violinist at Arcade Fire) and James Ford (mixing Gorillaz or Arctic Monkeys records) makes
Day / Night
even better, that's for sure.

Oneohtrix Point Never and Cocteau Twins reunited
Once a brilliant wizard reclusive in the midst of his machines and vaporwave pioneer, Daniel Lopatin, better known as Oneohtrix Point Never, is today a producer for the international pop elite - Rosalia, FKA Twigs, The Weeknd. On the occasion of a Blu-Ray reissue of the immense
Magic Oneohtrix Point Never,
he summons Elizabeth Frazer, pioneer of dream pop with her group Cocteau Twins. Nobody expected it, but this collaboration sounds obvious. An impressionist reverie in weightlessness, perfectly accompanied by a contemplative and bucolic clip.
