Forever Pavot - La pantoufle (Born Bad Records, November 10, 2017)

How lovely is the album by this French group! Forever Pavot is the band led by Emile Sornin, already acclaimed for his previous album "Rhapsode" from 2014, and here he delivers a near-masterpiece of experimental psychedelic pop called "La pantoufle," released by the French label Born Bad Records last November. Emile is a singer-songwriter and musician with great inventiveness, almost visionary, drawing inspiration from both French soundtracks of the sixties and seventies and that kind of imagery, as well as a psychedelic aesthetic in the style of Os Mutantes and experiments in the field of jazz. This, apart from his emotional writing and the blend of thriller, romantic, erotic, and ironic themes. Psychedelic pop carillons ("The Most Expansive Chocolate Eggs," "Le pantoufle est dans le puit"), cinematic ballads ("Jonathan et Rosalie," "Les cagouilles," "Les cordes," "La belle affaire"), jazz and bossa nova experiments ("Hutre," "Cancre," "Ca lance," "Le beefteak," "La soupe è la grolle"), and almost theatrical moments ("Père," "Au pas de l'assassin") offer a full representation of an artist who is both sophisticated and brilliant while being ironically playful, with an album that clearly crushes episodes of pop-psychedelia typical of Jacco Gardner or The Temples, demonstrating true virtuoso mastery both musically and in terms of experimentation and being real visionaries, a concept that cannot be absent in this kind of music. The devotion to artists reintroduced by Born Bad Records such as Vassiliu and Julian Perrin is evident. Chapeu.
