Marion Cousin & Eloïse Decazes : ‘COM A LANCETA NA MÃO’

BIO
The duo adorns the songs chosen by Marion with an organic electricity, floating through the letters, seeping in the syllables, and reveals the flawed groove of these ritornellos that seem to have never stopped repeating themselves. The trio emerging here offers eight titles, which were arranged in an old barn where almost-closed electrical circuits were set up. Beside the impregnation and transformation of the songs, for a rendering both strange and sharp, these electrical circuits also contributed to the rhythmic, harmonic and textural foundations for this successful attempt of transmission of texts and melodies borrowed from the collective memory, from the people, often rural, who like to tell stories and provide an expanded spectrum to our existences.
Marion Cousin et Eloïse Decazes are musicians, singers and friends. For about 15 years, each with their idiosyncratic expressions and temperaments, and through different incarnations (Catalina Matorral / Arlt) and collaborations (Gaspar Claus, Kaumwald, Borja Flames, Eric Chenaux, Delphine Dora, Julien Desailly) they’ve been sustaining a relentless and wild resolution to experiment with a distinctive alloy of traditional and experimental music practices. Those flavors will always function in simultaneity rather than opposition in their works.
For their first time as a duo, Marion Cousin and Eloïse Decazes perform the vernacular repertoire of the songs of Tras-O-Montes, north-east of Portugal. The resulting offering is an amorous, raw, heretical take on this material, a sprig of work and celebration chants, songs of exasperation uttered with their two voices, so far away and so close from each other in a plastic regional idiom, Mirandese – semi-phonetically and playfully appropriated here. Their voices scale up mutinously, wildly, sketching melodies and dancing boldly in and out of tune, in an euphorically deranged environment, a flood of ungainly noises: machines, lethargic drumboxes, nano-brutalist synths, unnerving guitar sketches, bursts of laughter. Abundantly vivid. Staggeringly wonderful.

BIO
The duo adorns the songs chosen by Marion with an organic electricity, floating through the letters, seeping in the syllables, and reveals the flawed groove of these ritornellos that seem to have never stopped repeating themselves. The trio emerging here offers eight titles, which were arranged in an old barn where almost-closed electrical circuits were set up. Beside the impregnation and transformation of the songs, for a rendering both strange and sharp, these electrical circuits also contributed to the rhythmic, harmonic and textural foundations for this successful attempt of transmission of texts and melodies borrowed from the collective memory, from the people, often rural, who like to tell stories and provide an expanded spectrum to our existences.
Marion Cousin et Eloïse Decazes are musicians, singers and friends. For about 15 years, each with their idiosyncratic expressions and temperaments, and through different incarnations (Catalina Matorral / Arlt) and collaborations (Gaspar Claus, Kaumwald, Borja Flames, Eric Chenaux, Delphine Dora, Julien Desailly) they’ve been sustaining a relentless and wild resolution to experiment with a distinctive alloy of traditional and experimental music practices. Those flavors will always function in simultaneity rather than opposition in their works.
For their first time as a duo, Marion Cousin and Eloïse Decazes perform the vernacular repertoire of the songs of Tras-O-Montes, north-east of Portugal.

Their voices scale up mutinously, wildly, sketching melodies and dancing boldly in and out of tune, in an euphorically deranged environment, a flood of ungainly noises: machines, lethargic drumboxes, nano-brutalist synths, unnerving guitar sketches, bursts of laughter. Abundantly vivid. Staggeringly wonderful.
