Lescop

Lescop - Le Rex de Toulouse Cosmo Regarts presents Lescop (French Rock) The return of Lescop with this third album resembles an unstoppable reinvention of French new wave.

This natural child of rock and punk has rediscovered the sense of an intimate rebellion after weathering some inner storms of rare intensity.

As if, in fact, he is today reconnecting with the very essence of the candour (dark and joyful at once) of his first hit La forêt, through which he allowed a whole generation hungry for meaning and new sounds to dance on the burning embers of a hybridisation that defines the identity of French pop today.

Working in tandem with the director Thibault Frisoni, Lescop has built his pop edifice of 13 luminous songs around the themes of mutation, love and rebirth. Here one encounters, higgledy-piggledy, the incandescent and uncompromising voices of Izia, Halo Maud or Laura Cahen.

Here, suddenly, the power of Ash Workman at the mix gives the record a natural light, in which Brighton becomes a Balearic destination.

Meanwhile the poetic imprint of Pasolini sits alongside those of Bob Dylan, Etienne Daho or Daniel Darc, a majestic trilogy of inspiration that attests to a return to the very essence of pop. Lescop has titled his third album rêve parti.

With 13 songs of obsessive magnetism, he succeeds in convincing us that it is still possible to reinvent the dream in all its utopian force.
