  • Description

    In eleven titles, Nathan Roche, singer and guitarist from the French band Le Villejuif Underground, brings together the great story ("Grounds Zero") and his most personal memories, mourning his dear collection of records, sold in order to survive on his arrival in France ("Recollection") and suffering memory loss because of it, narrating his successive encounters with his idols David Berman (of Silver Jews) and Daevid Allen ("Two Davids House") in his youth.

    This naturalistic writing, which can evoke Jonathan Richman, is combined with an encyclopedic knowledge of guitar music, forged while he was a record store in Australia.

    Thus he delivers songs evoking both the greatest hours of Fire Records (The Stevens) and the Lou Reed of the mid-70s (Tristan Winston Price, and his Hunter/Wagner style solos on R&R Animal).
