Description
Second album from French experimental rock/punk/noise act Usé aka Nicolas Belvalette (the man behind Usé, who can also be seen in Headwar, Les Morts Vont Bien, Sultan Solitude, Roberto Succo and about 125 other simultaneous projects).
Martial pianos, mongoloid harpsichords, rural techno, social horror: this new record contains all it takes to writhe, sweat, shudder, pant, stagger, pick yourself up, crawl, howl, faint, get up and pick yourself up again - in short, to have fun. We'll spare you the truisms about "stepping out of his comfort zone", about the "darkened atmosphere" or a "chiaroscuro self-portrait": 'Selflic' is a perfect digest of what Usé was, is, and will probably be for a long time: a terrific machine to crush time and bullshit, to invoke the essential precepts of fire and fury. And that's all you need to know. The rest is just noise.
