A new offering from Léo Leblanc, Charles-Antoine Olivier (aka CAO), Xavier Touikan (all ex-Zen Bamboo) and Thomas Léger, Blesse is a chemical response, an emancipated liberation, a creative impulse seeking the new through syncretism. The trio fashions an idiosyncratic, plural, abrasive and above all catchy pop, drawing inspiration from Porches, My Bloody Valentine and Indochine, as well as from hyperpop and bedroom pop, in a relationship of total trust where missteps are (almost) non-existent and evolution is forwards. The band becomes the band it wants to be with each piece, the lead voices alternate, everything is renewed. It's a departure, rarely to return to the starting point - a departure that aims to retain the energy of the beginning for a long time, to discover new things, with no announced end in sight. The only constraint is not to be constantly maximalist - that's the hard part.
