Des premiers albums de Pentagram, je garde en t\u00eate deux ou trois choses. La premi\u00e8re est cette production surann\u00e9e, des morceaux dont on ne sait s’ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9s dans les semaines qui ont directement suivi Altamont, ou dans les ann\u00e9es 1980 voire m\u00eame 1990. Un son blafard, orange\u00e2tre, agr\u00e9ment\u00e9 de br\u00fblants solos woodstockiens, au niveau technique en somme toute assez basique, qui viennent brouiller les rep\u00e8res de la chronologie rock. La deuxi\u00e8me est la qualit\u00e9, qu’\u00e9crive-je, la transcendance de certaines des chansons, \u00e0 l’image de \u00ab Starlady \u00bb, de \u00ab Forever my Queen \u00bb, de \u00ab Be Forewarned \u00bb, ou de \u00ab Last Days Here \u00bb. Des compositions parfois plaintives, des fois implacables, syst\u00e9matiquement hallucin\u00e9es. \u00c0 elles seules capables de raviver la fi\u00e8vre doom au mitan des eighties, et m\u00eame bien apr\u00e8s. Et la troisi\u00e8me chose qui m’a marqu\u00e9e est indubitablement Bobby Liebling. Un frontman singulier, unique, stratosph\u00e9rique, une improbable collision entre Agecanonix et Michel Fugain p\u00e9riode Big Bazar sous LSD. Un dingo peu recommandable aux mirettes exorbit\u00e9es, un compositeur prolifique mais d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9ment poissard (et peu lucide), pour ces raisons adul\u00e9 des mordus de stoner doom. C’est donc un peu \u00e0 l’aune de ces trois consid\u00e9rations que j’ai chroniqu\u00e9 Lightning in a Bottle<\/em> qui sort ce vendredi chez Heavy Psych Sounds.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 premi\u00e8re \u00e9coute, il n’y a pas de tube, hymne, en tous cas de chanson qui se m\u00e9morise imm\u00e9diatement. Pour ce faire, il faudra y revenir et, \u00e7a tombe bien, la pr\u00e9paration du passage de Pentagram le vendredi soir en t\u00eate d’affiche de la Valley me donnera l’occasion d’y revenir. Tout porte \u00e0 croire que le groupe a voulu passer en revue l’ensemble des canons du genre. Comme dans une sorte de catalogue dress\u00e9 au cr\u00e9puscule de leur carri\u00e8re. L’album s’ouvre par un riff quasi-martial (\u00ab Live Again \u00bb). Celui de \u00ab Thundercrest \u00bb est encore plus rosse, inhabituellement furibard quand on conna\u00eet le r\u00e9pertoire du combo. Le bouillant \u00ab I Spoke to Death \u00bb lorgne m\u00e9chamment du c\u00f4t\u00e9 de Monster Magnet (\u00e0 l’exception du chant). Il y a un th\u00e8me en deux accords fa\u00e7on \u00ab Gloria \u00bb de Them ou \u00ab Good Fortune \u00bb de PJ Harvey : c’est sur \u00ab I’ll Certainly See You in Hell \u00bb, une chanson de seulement 2 mn 08. \u00ab Spread Your Wings \u00bb poss\u00e8de quelque chose de Sub Pop dans l’id\u00e9e. Comme parfois chez eux, un titre contient le mot f\u00e9tiche \u00ab Lady \u00bb : cette fois, c’est \u00ab Heroin Lady \u00bb. Comme le temps passe vite : nous sommes d\u00e9j\u00e0 fin janvier et Pentagram a cinquante-quatre ann\u00e9es d’existence ! La production de ce dixi\u00e8me album studio constitue l’agr\u00e9able surprise de ce Lightning in a Bottle<\/em>. Elle parvient \u00e0 ne pas trahir l’esprit vintage du groupe tout en adaptant celui-ci au go\u00fbt du jour. Les guitares et la voix sont impeccablement restitu\u00e9es. La voix, venons-y. Liebling est le dernier membre de la formation originale. Le Virginien f\u00eal\u00e9 a f\u00eat\u00e9 ses soixante et onze tours du soleil le mois dernier. Du moins physiquement, car mentalement il a d\u00fb certainement en faire bien davantage. Ce n’est pas un grand chanteur au sens technique du terme, mais c’est un excellent interpr\u00e8te. Sa fa\u00e7on d’appr\u00e9hender chaque chanson diff\u00e8re du tout au tout, tour \u00e0 tour autoritaire, mena\u00e7ant, incantatoire, gaillard, lancinant, trippant, toujours fantasque… \u00c0 l’instar de ses musiciens, Liebling passe en revue tous les canons du genre. Ses fans seront en cons\u00e9quence combl\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
