about

À un moment de 2016, à Dublin, les individus surnommés Uncle Dad, The Soft Cat et LewPain disposent de 3 créneaux de répétition dans leur local, sous une voie ferrée, pour monter un groupe et donner leur premier concert.

Le soir venu, le guitariste s'approche du micro. Il n'a pas quitté son long manteau, a jeté la sangle de son instrument par dessus et donne l'impression de lutter contre une vicieuse gueule de bois. Il bégaye un "Hello, we're Shifting", suivi d'un trait d'esprit qu'on suppose cinglant, mais que seule une solide maîtrise de l'accent local aurait permis de déchiffrer.

S'en suivent 7 morceaux explosifs, parfaitement exécutés comme s'ils étaient joués depuis des années, dévoilant au grand jour les traces indélébiles laissés sur leurs cœurs par A Frames, My Disco, Part Chimp et les Pixies.

"Shifting", c'est passer d'un état à l'autre, d'un tombereau d'horreurs sordides dans des paroles inspirées par des serial killers, à la banalité poussée à l'absurde, d'un humour sur le fil du malaise à des accès de violence contenue.

"Shifting", c'est le mouvement, celui qui ne regarde jamais en arrière, pour composer des morceaux en quelques heures et satisfaire une pulsion créatrice en tension permanente.

"Shifting", c'est aussi le french kiss dans l'argot du coin.

À un moment de 2020, Shifting sera le groupe de noise rock qui sortira "It Was Good", un des albums les plus personnels et jouissifs du genre, sur les labels Permafrost (Fr), Constant Disappointment (US), Assos y song (Fr), Whosbrain (Lux) et Gabu (Fr).

very well orchestrated & written post-punk album. a little rough around the edges, but looses something as the songs tend to drift a bit. pretty good first outing tho :) tinman73
