FACS (22h30)
(Post punk – Trouble in Mind – Chicago, USA)
Everything eventually turns to dust. Everyone knows this, but few want to acknowledge that our time on this mortal coil is fleeting, preferring to remain in stasis, in hopes that “the end” will pass them by.
Chicago trio FACS (guitarist Brian Case, bassist Alianna Kalaba & drummer Noah Leger) have been perfecting their brand of intense, cathartic post-punk over the course of four ever-evolving albums, beginning with 2017’s “Negative Houses” thru 2021’s landmark “Present Tense’, which saw the trio dig deep into the gaping maw of a black hole & pulling back whatever debris they could grasp onto. Their newest “Still Life In Decay” comes as an addendum to the last album – a “post-event review” if you will.
“Still Life In Decay” starts with a squall of white noise before collapsing into the band already locked into “Constellation”s lumbering groove, with Case’s guitar a ghostly presence, appearing & disappearing in washes of gauzy feedback throughout the track. FACS have never been more locked in as a unit, and “Still Life In Decay” is a decidedly more focused effort. The apocalyptic chaos that defined their previous album “Present Tense” is waved away in favor of an examination of events with cumbrous clarity. FACS are a heavy band, but they don’t necessarily FEEL like one (see side two’s “Still Life”, where Case’s fluttering, melodic guitar lines are buoyed by the insistent, underlying pulse of the bass & drums).
As a rhythm section, Kalaba & Leger dance & twist around each other like a double helix, forming the DNA of what makes FACS special. Collectively they approach rhythm from outside the groove as opposed to inside it, creating a lattice where Case weaves guitar lines like creeping vines, which makes the moments on “Still Life In Decay” where the band DOES lock in even more powerful.

A SHAPE (21h30)
(Noise – Jelodanti Records – Paris, FR)
Entre chien et loup, entre la gâchette et
l’étincelle, c’est le moment où tout est possible, un intérieur
inconnu de soi-même, une zone d’ombre personnelle qu’il
vaudrait mieux ne pas découvrir. L’électricité générée par A
Shape est aussi tranchante que nébuleuse, vous conduit en
des territoires connus avant de vous laisser seul vous
débrouiller dans des mondes parallèles, s’insinue en vous,
vous remue, fait des ravages, des crevasses et libère une
énergie dévorante

SALA BESTIA (20h30)
(Noise – Fuzz-Wire – Paris, FR)
Sala Bestia est un trio parisien fondé en 2021 autour de Eric (guitare / voix) et Michel (batterie / machines) de Revok, et Aurélie (basse / machines) de Desicobra / Cohaagen. Du rock indé mâtiné de noise (voire l’inverse), abrasif. Du chant clair, scandé ou non. De l’habillage synthétique parcimonieux. Parce que Sebadoh, Slint, Low, Shipping News, Polvo, My Disco, et ce que vous voudrez mettre derrière. Parce que ces types s’ennuyaient. Parce qu’ils aiment jouer fort des chansons qui d’abord leur semblent valables. Parce qu’ils aiment jouer ces chansons devant une audience. Fort.
