Les Goths Reve de Silence lp

lp
2011/1968
new
Never released album by power trio from Normandy, France whose extravagant Hendrix-worship knows no bounds. Phased drums, superclose vocals, crunchy riffage, a solo that sounds like it uses two wah pedals at once- a Randy Holden namecheck is indeed well applied here. The two brothers in the band were impoverished factory workers, so their Dad built most of their equipment out of phone & radio parts. They'd never seen a concert until 1967, when they went to the big city to see the Animals & got blown away by Jimi- plus there was a riot in the parking lot afterwards. Before long, they were getting beat up by sailors for wearing their hair long & their jeans wide. 30 odd years later, drummer Bruno still talks about how ready for revolution the 'infernal machine of ye-ye' makes him. Tracklisting: Turn Over, I Remember, Out of the Sun, Le Jour Etait Gris, Blues Gamelle, Reve De Silence, A Man Has Been Entered, I Wait For Your Answer, Nothing Can Be Bad, Wake Up.
