| Info: | After "D'une Pierre deux Tombes", a
funereal and introspective album released in 2021, Opéra
Multi Steel returns with its thirteenth studio album: "Les Passions
tristes". The group remains faithful to the sound of the founding
instruments that have made it unique since its beginnings. The
evolution started on the previous album with the use of more electro
rhythms and sequences continues. The pride of place remains given to
the vocal melodies, synthetic pads and mechanical backgrounds created
by the three musicians and which are a trademark of OMS, sometimes
tinged with recorders that sometimes bring a medieval hint. The band
therefore evolves with constancy, without however denying its origins.
That said, the music, more up-tempo than on the previous album, does
not engender a frenzied melancholy. The track "Au grand Jamais with
Catherine Marie as lead vocalist will bring back some memories from a
previous side-project of OMS members called “O Quam
Tristis”. The artwork shows a painting by French painter Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret (1852-1929) re- presenting "Marguerite au Sabbat" – in reference to the album title and the accompanying video for ‘Le Soleil est parti’ (see below), that uses some extracts from Murnau’s famous “Faust” movie (1926) on the popular Germanic legend. Faust sells his soul to the Devil in exchange for a new youth, a life of pleasure, enjoyment and love personified by the innocent, modest and faithful Marguerite. After she had given birth to the child of their union, Faust abandons the unfortunate young woman to her fate... In despair, Marguerite kills her baby and tries to commit suicide… This is the vision the painter has repre- sented here. |
