ZACHARY CALE: Spring 2014 European tour for the New York singer-songwriter

Entre folk des origines, rock teinté de blues et formats pop, Zachary Cale officie depuis près d’une décennie du côté d’un songwriting onirique et tranchant.

Le New-Yorkais originaire de Louisiane livre un quatrième album, Blue Rider, particulièrement salué par la presse indé. Le disque sorti en septembre 2013 sur le label All Hands Electric, co-fondé par Zachary Cale lui-même, et en Europe sur le label allemand Jellyfant, distille un folk rock minimaliste soutenu par une écriture puissante et singulière.

Après une tournée US avec Crystal Stilts à l’automne dernier, et avant de prestigieux festival anglais cet été (Green Man, End Of The Road), Zachary Cale prend la route ce printemps pour 35 dates européennes.

“fingerpicking envoûtant… brumeux et magnifique” – Pitchfork
“#1 des disques injustement ignorés en 2013″ – Popmatters
“des textures riches et des mélodies intimes, une magnifique collection de chansons regorgeant de détails passionnants” – American Songwriter
“Zachary Cale plonge au cœur du minimalisme. Une parenté flatteuse avec la production la plus douce de Kurt Vile, alliant une rythmique syncopée et pleine d’émotion à la voix chaude et intime de Cale” – Spin

THIBAULT RIVRAIN supporting Douglas Dare in Paris on May 29

The Paris-based singer-songwriter Thibault Rivrain will showcase his delicate and unique universe as a support act for Douglas Dare on May 29 at Espace B. Between whispers and wailings, his songs on life, death, bodies, madness will reflect a tormented soul.

“With his pop specters, Thibault Rivrain reaches the sublime, disconcerts, magnifies and surprises in every title.” – Benjamin Dierstein, Discordance.
“[With] its enthralling, unreal singing, hypnotic melodies […], its false simplicity, fragility, and delicacy, […] Snow Gold simply is one the best promises we’ve been made in a long time. […] An underground masterstroke.” – Cédric Chort, Froggy’s Delight.
