It's a fact: Balladur has aged and is no longer this crazy pop irruption born from the French noise cauldron that thundered everyone in the mid-10s, no: the duo has traveled, played in all the pits of the territory, scoured all the departmental roads in 205, for better and for worse.
If the two thugs still speak the language of beautiful songs and globalized borrowings, we have never heard from them a record as “doom” as the one that arrives today. The 9 tracks of Pourquoi certains arbres sont si grands are haunted by the nostalgia of hopes, happy days and a very unique taste of ashes. Is it this 70's Italian passion? Is it the staggering frontality of the text? This obsessive taste for chiaroscuro? The omnipresence of demonic synths in the background?
What is curious is that it was as a “Cold Wave group” that Balladur emerged in 2013. And it is 10 years later, after having freed themselves from all the pre-chewed labels, that they deliver their hardest, most inhabited and overwhelming album.
