Forever Pavot

So there is a new tenant in the Jean-Claude Vannier residence.The discreet type, but rather noisy. Fuzz guitars, wildfarfisa, bass lines mixed well ahead in the Burgalat tradition,flutes playing, horse cavalcades on Miguel El Salam, 'Rhapsode' is such a huge indoor Western shot by the ORTF ( 64's to 74'sFrench Broadcasting Authority TV) that sometimes we expect tosee Jean-Christophe Averty spring out from an enclosure,holding both a camera and a joint. But again, clothes dont makethe man. The name Forever Pavot was not born of an apology ofdrugs: "It started as a joke. One day I read too fast a "flower power" poorly written on a school pencil case. It made melaugh", said Emile. The result is worth all these sleeplessnights: where others merely copy the past, Emile stacks upsound, rehabilitates the harpsichord in this narrow world thathas become pop music. He composes arranged pieces (ElectricMami) that give the impression of hearing 'Strawberry FieldsForever' sung by Zombies. After an initial 45 rpm, 'ChristopheColumb', which he produced in the spring of 2013, and whichwas "distributed free with chocolates" and then repressed byFrantic City, the story of Forever Pavot begins to take shape around a new group.
