Science-Fiction, B-movies italiens, Psychédelia, Mythologie égyptienne, paysages siciliens habitent les 10 chansons de Condoro. Une bonne moitié du disque est instrumentale, conduite par les sons hypnotiques des synthés Casio et Juno, et par une batterie au souffle long. Les Chansons portent ce LP plus profond encore dans une étrangeté planante.

Science-fiction, Italian B-movies, Psychedelia, Egyptian mythology, Sicilian landscapes – among others - all play their part throughout Condoro’s 10 pieces. Keyboardist/singer/composer Julien Lesuisse (Mazalda) and drummer Anthony Charreau (Les Pythons De La Fournaise) are exploring here a variety of moods and sounds based around themes and motifs, with a dramatic/cinematic, yet humorous and light-hearted spirit.
A good half of “Condoro” is instrumental – lead by the hypnotizing sounds of Juno and Casio synthesizers, underlined by an organic and heartbeat-like drumming. The vocal tracks, beautifully sung in made-up dialects derived from English and Italian, give an even more personal touch to this epic LP. To name a few, the majestic “Conca d’Oro” evokes North African and Arabic music, the haunting “Quetzalcoatl” Neapolitan Pop and 70’s progressive Rock… A fascinating universe translated into analog soundwaves!
