Jester in modern times to the limit foutage of mouth, Philippe Katerine does not shows less able to produce from time to time interesting stuff. This is particularly the case with the album "Creatures" where despite texts that do not always seem to mean much, you let yourself take in the ambient air / acid jazz, sometimes quite close to the music of Lalo Schifrin ("the apartment"), with its glittering orchestrations.
Hunting the natural change their spots: you obviously find on this album foutage several titles including the excellent mouth and now famous "I emm you ****" which alone could take place (Amazon censorship at work!) manifest its author. Mention may also be completely barred "My best friend is a dog," "delusional" I'm 30 "or more seriously" Chicken No. 728120 ", a sort of sharp criticism of the consumer society in line a Boris Vian. The album is unfortunately not interesting to the end and 10 titles ("I never told you") and 11 (the hospital Boulevard ") contribute nothing otherwise taking wasting space on a disc rather successful so far.
the second album "the man with three hands" offers a stripped music with a minimalist instrumentation (voice + acoustic guitar) and there it must be recognized that it does not. Where a Miossec managed to excel thanks to the evocative power of his lyrics, Philippe Katerine appears just ridiculous and foutage of mouth finds its brilliant limit resulting in a disk with virtually unlistenable interest to the end .....
So if "The Creatures" almost deserves its 5 stars, "the man with three hands" will find its rightful place in your trash.
