“Nico mange de já tout seule”
After Olivia (siesta 178) a new common name, Nicolás, appears in 2006.
He is indeed the adolescent brother of a well grown Olivia. Some people
say that he is a clumsy and thuggish juvenile guy compared to fragile
Olivia. Nicolás seems to have an uncertain future versus the well-programmed
life of fortunate Olivia. He might need a tutor.
Three years have passed since Olivia left home and now Nicolás enjoys
to be in the limelight. This album signals a new level of maturity for
the venerable Madrid ensemble and a good opportunity to expose Blanca
Lacasa and Alberto Matesanz from the band Plastic d'Amour in their birthday
suit: brutality (Le réveil); raw nudity (Plus rien); light psychedelia
(Détour) and pleasant darkness (J’ai peur). This is an extremely listenable
album and the more listens you give it, the more you find to love.
Naked guitars run throughout their music whereas there is a solid and
elliptical sonic architecture that shows scattered moments and confusion.
Nicolás is somehow a playful and maverick person, exactly like debonair
Blanca and Alberto.
