\u00ab -J’ai re\u00e7u le prochain Lord Elephant -Ha je connais pas -C’est de l’instru italien tr\u00e8s stoner avec une guitare en feu et une basse disto entre Stoned Jesus et du sludge. Parfait pour un Westill vers 16 heures -J’ai \u00e9cout\u00e9, vraiment cool ! \u00bb Ce que l’on con\u00e7oit bien s\u2019\u00e9nonce clairement, et les mots pour le dire arrivent ais\u00e9ment : cette r\u00e8gle d’or, \u00e9dict\u00e9e par Boileau dans L’Art po\u00e9tique<\/em> (1674), se trouve, trois si\u00e8cles et demi plus tard, illustr\u00e9e par cet \u00e9change sur Signal entre votre serviteur et son pote Paul (vous savez, le fan de stoner) du 16 janvier dernier… Tant et si bien que je pourrais parfaitement me contenter avec flemmardise de cette synth\u00e8se, puis clore (cuistrement, certes) la pr\u00e9sente chronique de disque. Mais, il s’av\u00e8re que la parcimonie textuelle n’est pas le genre de ma maison, et que ni les artistes, ni le label, ni le lectorat ne m\u00e9ritent pareille radinerie conceptuelle. Alors ne nous arr\u00eatons pas en si bon chemin…<\/p>\n

Form\u00e9 en 2016 dans la cit\u00e9 de Machiavel et de Roberto Baggio, Lord Elephant n’a pas, \u00e0 l’image de bon nombre de groupes de sa g\u00e9n\u00e9ration, connu les traditionnelles \u00ab ann\u00e9es de gal\u00e8re \u00bb, qu’ont pratiquement tous endur\u00e9 leurs anc\u00eatres rock, il y a des d\u00e9cennies de cela, et ont \u00e9t\u00e9 promptement sign\u00e9s sur un label, en l’occurrence l’excelleeeeeeeeeeeeent (enfoir\u00e9*) Heavy Psych Sounds Records, sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 dans la musique dite \u00ab stoner \u00bb, qui plus est r\u00e9f\u00e9rence incontestable en la mati\u00e8re. Car, vous l’avez compris \u00e0 ce stade de la chronique, Lord Elephant pratique un stoner lourd, pachydermique, et rejoint \u00e0 ce titre la m\u00e9ga-m\u00e9nagerie du genre, d\u00e9j\u00e0 compos\u00e9e de Mammoth Mammoth, Ufommamut, King Buffalo, Bison, Mr. Bison, Sasquatch, Bongzilla et autres Mastodon… Quant \u00e0 moi, j’ai rien trouv\u00e9 de plus original que de chroniquer le deuxi\u00e8me album de ce repr\u00e9sentant de la m\u00e9gafaune la semaine m\u00eame o\u00f9 la formation de Dave Mustaine tire sa r\u00e9v\u00e9rence discographique, monopolisant par suite les regards ainsi que les d\u00e9bats…<\/p>\n

Pourvus de noms de peintres de la Renaissance (ou de tortues Ninjas, c’est vous qui voyez…), Leandro (guitare), Tommaso (batterie) et Edoardo (basse), brossent avec cet Ultra Soul<\/em> sept bouillonnants tableaux d’un monde muet, terreux, volcanique, rougeoyant, t\u00e9n\u00e9breux, organique. Assembl\u00e9es, ces sept Pang\u00e9es forment comme une sorte de Pr\u00e9cambrien psych\u00e9d\u00e9lique et doom. Les intitul\u00e9s de ceux-ci sont aussi courts et secs que leurs dur\u00e9es \u00e9tendues et leurs contenus fertiles : \u00ab Electric Dunes \u00bb, \u00ab Gigantia \u00bb, \u00ab Astral \u00bb, \u00ab MindNight \u00bb ou encore \u00ab Leave \u00bb (qui fait office d’outro) feront sans doute aucun le bonheur des amateurs du genre, et confirment l’attirance de nombre d’instrumentistes stoner pour la g\u00e9ographie, la biologie ainsi que l’atmosph\u00e9rique scientifique et musical. Les trois (encore un trio stoner !) Florentins font montre de leur enti\u00e8re connaissance du style, Ultra Soul<\/em> attestant de la vitalit\u00e9 actuelle de la sc\u00e8ne stoner et exp\u00e9rimentale transalpine. En defitinive, une bonne op\u00e9ration pour Heavy Psych Sounds, lequel nous d\u00e9montre une fois encore que le communautarisme (musical) poss\u00e8de ind\u00e9niablement quelques avantages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*R\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 Michel Colucci dit \u00ab Coluche \u00bb, dont nous comm\u00e9morerons en juin prochain les quarante ann\u00e9es de sa disparition.<\/p>\n
