Mille excuses Milady

Jean Leloup

French Music - Released April 28, 2009 | Bravo musique

Jean LeClerc (who released Mille Excuses Milady under his resurrected alias Jean Leloup) may enjoy the reputation of francophone rock's wild child, but this doesn't apply directly to his music; he has too much to say to go experimental, and settles instead for a quietly quirky, ultimately mainstream, and -- of course -- wordy approach. Like many French-language records, Mille Excuses Milady places heavy emphasis on lyrics, but this is no chanson -- LeClerc still draws on rock, extracting plenty of simple licks from his electric but barely amped-up guitar to lead the tunes with. He is known for the African traditional music influence he picked up during his childhood years, and on tunes like "Jeune Indien" it's possible to make out the vibe reminiscent of Ali Farka Touré or the "Tuareg blues" of Tinariwen. But those not aware of the whole African deal will take the songs for what they really are -- low-key, bluesy singer/songwriter stuff harking back to the glory days of Eric Clapton, Lou Reed, and Neil Young, but transforming their music into a Quebecois brand of heartland rock, more simplistic musically, but sporting an Old World elegance and melancholy -- at least, on the best tracks. LeClerc fools around plenty on Mille Excuses Milady, rolling exaggerated r-r-r's over a brass section and march-paced drums of "Célérats" and moaning for full ten minutes about his monkey's untimely demise on "Monkey's Suicide" (yes, he does not shy away from English completely, as if giving the global audience a sample of what his music is really about) -- and not all of those experiments work equally well (though the monkey song, surprisingly, does). The record could use some trimming, and Mille Excuses Milady lacks the explicit hooks to pull in the listener at the first spin, but given time to soak in, it can reveal its strengths, sounding brooding and slightly oddball without losing the melodic, loosely catchy edge. © Alexey Eremenko /TiVo

Discosis

Bran Van 3000

Pop - Released June 12, 2001 | Audiogram

One of the most unheralded and underappreciated CDs of 2001, Bran Van 3000's Discosis perfectly synthesizes the band's equal urges toward dance music, pop melodies, and practical jokes. Where the Montréal-based collective's first album, Glee, had bounced rather erratically from mood to mood depending on which members were featured on which track, Discosis finds everyone on the same page, resulting in a disarmingly cohesive album with something for everyone. As intelligent dance albums go, it's on a par with Deee-Lite's World Clique a decade earlier, though instead of environmental issues, the disc sticks to affairs decidedly more personal and pop cultural in nature. Highlights include Bran Van's unpackaging of a lost Curtis Mayfield gem for the lead single "Astounded," some variations on the girl-responding-to-commodification motif in "Loop Me" and "Loaded," imaginative and humorous essays on young love in "Montréal" and "Love Cliché," and startling awareness of the record business in "Rock Star" (a track troublingly prescient of the ensuing financial troubles of the band's label, Grand Royal: "dreams locked in the record company"). Not many pop melodians can cut a sharp dance groove, not many dance auteurs have a cheeky sense of humor, and not many pranksters harbor smart pop instincts -- yet Discosis exhibits all of the above and then some. The fact that it was buried by poor distribution (Grand Royal folded before the album ever had a proper U.S. release) was one of the great musical tragedies of 2001. © Joseph McCombs /TiVo
