Solo album by
Le Villejuif Underground
lead singer. It's September 3, 2014, a 24-year-old Australian arrives in Paris, accompanying a punk band on a European tour. He decides not to go home. Since then, everyone knows
Nathan Roche
. If you haven't seen him haranguing the crowd on a festival stage with Le Villejuif Underground, then you've come across one of his hallucinated noise performances within CIA Debutante in a squat in Poland. Like
Kevin Ayers
in Montolieu or
Robert Crumb
in Sauve, Nathan has chosen the heart of the Roya Valley. Thus, he perpetuates this tradition of the uprooted freak that you sometimes come across on the terraces of cafes in the South of France which, like a storyteller, make you escape with crazy stories. Judge for yourself: The Sahara Desert? He got stuck there for lack of a visa! Italy? He cycled Marseille -- San Remo by 40°C last summer! China? He has already played in front of 15,000 people at a festival in Wuhan! It's therefore easy to understand that
A Break Away
, this new solo album, is a journey disc in the form of a breakaway (literally A Breakaway, for those who haven't followed, be it from society, taking holiday, or a strategy in competitive cycling), the album recorded during a return to Australian soil during the March of 2022. In eleven titles, Nathan brings together the great story ("Grounds Zero") and his most personal memories, mourning his dear collection of records, sold in order to survive on his arrival in France ("Recollection") and suffering memory loss because of it, narrating his successive encounters with his idols
David Berman
(
Silver Jews
) and
Daevid Allen
(
Two Davids House
) in his youth. This naturalistic writing, which can evoke
Jonathan Richman
, is combined with an encyclopedic knowledge of guitar music, forged while he was a record store in Australia. Thus, he delivers songs evoking both the greatest hours of Fire Records (
The Stevens
) and the
Lou Reed
of the mid-70s (
Tristan Winston Price
, and his
Hunter/Wagner
style solos on R&R Animal).
