Although they have drawn a line under their past and are making a new start, the four still have the benefit of their experience, techniques and studio recording skills. And with the many gigs they have played over the years, they are perfectly at home on stage. Griefjoy have been together since they were very young, forming unbreakable bonds. Now they have recovered their creative appetites. Griefjoy. They decided this was the best name to define a combination of two emotions you might think it impossible to experience simultaneously - until you listen to their music and the forty minutes of their first album. The record reconciles light and darkness, rock intensity and heady electro, smoke rings and right angles - all with equal success. It is an introduction to Griefjoy, aka the ice burn effect. They began to explore music when they met, at a very early age. Then one day, they saw the light in rock. That devastating earthquake swept away everything in its path and guided them towards a perfect group chemistry. And never left them. The rock shock sealed their four-way partnership and they set out on their quest for the perfect tune as a group. 2013. Drawing on their various influences (rock, jazz, pop, electro, hip-hop, original soundtracks, etc.), Griefjoy have given us a first album of ten blinding songs. Although the first revelation that led them away from a more classic style was Radiohead’s “Street Spirit”, you will find no replications of Thom Yorke’s band here. Guillaume’s voice is clear and Griefjoy’s power rock is never pretentious or pompous, just amazingly mature for a group whose average age is 22. “Touch Ground” sums up the hallowed unity that is Griefjoy’s goal: a dance beat, heady backing vocals and a tune that will keep you awake at night.
Electro sometimes gains the upper hand - for instance, on “Insane” and its ultimate plunge into an acid rain of synth, or “People Screwed Up”, with its machine rollercoaster. Pop also takes a bow on the unstoppable “Kids Turn Around” and the soothing “Hold the Tides”. And finally, “Crimson Rose” brings together every shade on Griefjoy’s sound palette. The music conceived on Guillaume’s piano is influenced by ambient and movie soundtracks. His keyboards add a solemnity to the band’s inspired rock, while the guitar fires lightning bolts from the sky, the beats build towering walls, and floods of synthesizer raise superb sonic cathedrals. The home-recorded songs were fine-tuned by producer Stéphane “Alf” Briat (Air, Phoenix, Etienne de Crécy, Jackson & his Computer Band, etc.), who enhanced their volume and amplitude. Over the musical melancholy float words that dreams are made on. Griefjoy are an unusual band. They have always worked with Sylvain Autran, a virtual fifth shadow member who writes all their English lyrics. Contemplative white dreams go hand in hand with dark tides of sensation blending futuristic poetry and nostalgia, memories and wild visions: the infinite range of human emotion unfolds there, shaped by every possible concord and discord. Griefjoy are experimental and classic rockers, energy-filled and soothing, urban and terribly human. They are more than willing to risk striking contrasts and put on high-wire acts with no safety net. Their music is ambitious like M83’s, intellectual like Radiohead’s, efficient like Metronomy’s, curious like PVT’s and solar like Caribou’s. The band reveal soaring aspirations, but avoid the pitfall of affectation.Familiar in its influences, yet still unknown and surprising: this is the world of Griefjoy.

Color your life with dust of me
Let yourself fall in love, and I'll bring you light
Taste me
Color your life with dust of me
Let yourself fall in love, and I'll bring you light
Taste me
Color your life with dust of me
Taste me
Color your life with dust of me
Let yourself fall in love, and I'll bring you light
In Griefjoy's song Lights On, the repeated refrain of "Taste me, color your life with dust of me, let yourself fall in love, and I'll bring you light" creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. The lyrics seem to be exploring the idea of falling in love as a means of finding light and illuminating one's life. The phrase "Taste me" indicates a desire for the other person to fully experience and consume all that the singer has to offer. The metaphorical language of "color your life with dust of me" suggests that the singer's presence and influence will leave a lasting impact and imbue the other person's life with greater depth and richness.
The repetition of these lines throughout the song give it an almost hypnotic quality, as if entrancing the listener into a heightened emotional state. The overall effect is one of intense intimacy and vulnerability, as if the singer is urging the other person to take a chance on love and allow themselves to be swept away by its transformative power.

I guess we're not happy togehter
We will not go get very far
You know I wanna try
I just wanna fly fly fly
High high
I keep thinking of us together
How I felt it would last forever
You know I'm trying
I just wanna fly fly
Don't loose your heart
Just keep all the lights on
Just keep all the lights on all night long
Don't loose your heart
Just keep all the lights on
Just keep all the lights on all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
Every day I shout at the mirror
I tell you what I could never have
Hello in the crowd
I just wanna fly fly high high
Maybe one day I will forget her
Yet today I'm just this clever
Hello in the crowd
I just wanna fly fly
Don't loose your heart
Just keep all the lights on
Just keep all the lights on all night long
Don't loose your heart
Just keep all the lights on
Just keep all the lights on all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

Merci à Sneazzy pour m'avoir fait découvert des gars talentueux. Un clip original et des chants démentiels.

Des artistes comme eux n'ont pas le succès qu'ils méritent. Dans le sens, où leurs compositions sont juste génials. Tellement posé, même reposant, un soir d'été, devant un coucher de soleil auprès des siens. Magique.
