At 24 years old, Fakear has already taken his globally-tuned dance music across the world, playing shows from London to Tokyo, supporting Bonobo and selling out Parisโ prestigious Olympia in 2015.
The journey thatโs led to 2016 and his debut album, Animal, has been three years and 4 EPs long. One of them reached the top 10 in France, and his music has drawn the attention of M.I.A., AlunaGeorge, DJ Snake, Annie Mac, The FADER and ODESZA - one of many peers whoโve asked Fakear for remixes.
But the real journey, of course, goes further back. Le Vigoreux was born in Caen, Calvados, Normandy - an ancient part of France, and the same place William the Conqueror came from. His parents were musicians too, and they raised him on a steady diet of of Maurice Ravel symphonies, and songs by Ismael Lo and Cheb Mami. By the time he got to high school, he was listening avidly to Daft Punk, and had obtained an electric guitar. Before long heโd joined a ska-punk band with Gabriel Legeleux, whoโd go on to become fellow rising star in French electronic music, Superpoze.
By 2013, heโd kindled a buzz in Cargo de Caen, creating a reputation under the name of Fakear ("Fake Earsโ in English.) His electronic collages were inspired by influences as divergent but inspiring as the post-dubstep scene in London, and the films of Miyazaki. He found his way to Paris, where he signed with the independent French music label Nowadays Records, and released the EP Sauvage in June 2014.
Subsequent single โLa Lune Rousseโ gained millions of listeners across Spotify, Soundcloud and French radio, and this helped him to debut on the international level. A few months later, his musical voyage led to Japan, and rumination on his childhoodโs ghosts changed his art's inception deeply. โThis Country gave me a finer desire for music, and a greater attention to detail,โ he told Canal + around the launch of his EP Asakusa. โIt has been a personal and musical stage that I exceeded. All my pieces are like that: the pictures of my sensations and of my imagination in a precise moment. I am not the same as yesterday, and not the same as tomorrowโ.
In 2015 he decided to take a break from the Parisian metropolis, and moved to the mountains. โI needed it, to seize a new primary โsomethingโ, something wild and authenticโ. It was in this new setting that Fakear crafted his debut album Animal. The album title recalls the wolf silhouette that he has tattooed on his forearm. Chez Fakear, the machines never filter the instincts. Instead, they are amplified.
Animal ranges from the flamenco refrain of โSheer-Khanโ, through the original composition with Andreya Triana (Bonobo) on โLight Bulletโ, to a stunning collaboration with Rae Morris, a new pop star in-the-making with whom Fakear maintains an elegant complicity.
Throughout the album, Fakear ensured that his electronic methodology enhanced, rather than limited his raw instinct. He built sounds from memories and from talismanic items; The result is an album as suited to the dance floor as it to listening under the stars, or in the moonlight of the โLune Rousseโ. In the studio as on the boards, Fakearโs music is lively, incarnated and instinctive. Definitively Animal.
