Marion Cousin & Eloïse Decazes : ‘COM A LANCETA NA MÃO’
Photo © Gérôme Blanchard Marion Cousin & Eloïse Decazes jumellent leur voix et leurs manières le temps d’un disque. Chants du ‘Trás-os-Montes’ province de l’ancien royaume du Portugal, réinterprétés d’oreille en Mirandais et instrumentalement ensauvagés à la façon de graffitis tremblotants, rieurs et furieux comme l’enfance. C’est absolument étrange et captivant comme si toute la
BIO
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.

“The pair have often been told that they have similar singing styles and I must admit they’ve long been twinned in my mind. They use this closeness to their advantage here, singing in unison to create a hybrid Cousin-Decazes voice or circling each other.” – David McKenna
