| Description: | Recorded in the southwest of France, Oâ??oâ??s second album broadens the group's musical horizons, enriched by the contrasts and surprises of rural life. Revisiting the animal parables from their first album Touche, Victoria Suter's lyrics draw inspiration from literature where humor and eccentricity blend with the mystery and supernatural elements of rural life, making her voice resonate in all its uniqueness. Mathieu Daubigné's productions serve as an ideal expressionist backdrop, showcasing incredible musical versatility by combining his expertise in club atmospheres, dynamic synthpop melodies, and contemplative experiments. Songs of Wishes and Bones is an album of chiaroscuro tones and a new centerpiece of the French indie-dance scene. - The French duo O?o returns with their second album, "Songs of Wishes and Bones," a mesmerizing journey through dark, enchanting narratives that span life, death, and the mysterious realms in between. This album marks a bold expansion in their musical landscape, with each song weaving intricate tales that are as haunting as they are beautiful.
Victoria Suter?s ethereal vocals, reminiscent of icons like Kate Bush and Björk, guide listeners through this rich tapestry of sound. Her storytelling, whether exploring the grim fairytale of a heartbroken octopus in "Tako-Tsubo" or the eerie menace of "Scorpion," is both captivating and deeply emotional.
Mathieu Daubigné?s production, drawing inspiration from artists like Apparat, complements Suter?s voice with lush, electronic landscapes that are both innovative and evocative. From the immediate, energetic rush of "Arena" to the introspective melancholy of "Barcelona," each track on "Songs of Wishes and Bones" stands as a unique, self-contained world.
The album balances moments of dance-inducing energy with serene, reflective beauty, creating a duality that resonates throughout the entire record. Tracks like "L?orage" blend pulsing electronic beats with piano-led chanson française, showcasing the duo?s versatility and emotional depth.
All tracks written, composed, produced & interpreted by O?o (Victoria Suter & Mathieu Daubigné).
