IN FRENCH (ENGLISH VERSION BELOW)
Si on devait juger de la carrière d’un groupe au regard de sa capacité à transformer les coups du sort en tremplins, ne pas scléroser son champ artistique ou s’investir sans compter et sans attendre de quiconque, Semtazone aurait une bonne place dans le top… Après « Alles Is Durven », 3ème album studio, qui les aura vus joliment brouiller les pistes et s’affranchir de l’univers chanson-alterno des débuts pour assumer leur goût pour un rock où tension électrique et douce mélancolie se partagent le haut de l’affiche, l’automne 2009 marque encore le franchissement d’un nouveau cap. Désormais en quartet -sans plus de basse ni de flûte- batterie, guitare, piano, sax et voix refaçonnent et réarrangent, resserrent le propos pour finalement, fidèlement, n’en garder que l’essentiel. Un univers à redécouvrir…
IN ENGLISH :
If a band’s career were to be judged upon its capacity to transform fate into destiny, to keep developing its artistic field or to involve itself without limits and without waiting for anyone’s help, Semtazone would be among the chosen few. After « Alles is Durven », their 3rd studio album, in which they covered their tracks and freed themselves of the musical universe of their beginnings in order to come to terms with their taste of a rock music where electrical tension and sweet melody share the top of the bill, the spring of 2009 represents a new landmark. Now a quartet (without bass and flute any more), the drums, guitar, piano, saxophone and voices rearrange and rebuild their music to finally, faithfully, keep nothing but the essential. A universe yet to be discovered, again…
