The Peak
Price 1.27 - 17.67 USD
Sweet hereafter of a very much remarked and critically acclaimed debut that provoked echoes all around of the indie rock microcosm (in France, Belgium, Japan, Australia), The Peak is Pokett s second album, ominous project of the versatile instrumentalist Stéphane Garry. Hungry follower of a maniac songwriting that manages to be luxurious, challenging, classic and star-studded with microscopic experimentations at the same time, Pokett weaves folk pop sugary fabrics with elective kins (Elliott Smith, Jim O Rourke, Wilco), embroidered with swarming sonic treasures (wood resonances, tiny magic sines, or elegiac strings) and weaved in complex architectures, without the songs ever giving up on the heart. Started with a full band (with Stéphane Laporte from Domotic, Sandrine Boyer, Laurent Vaissière from Paloma) in a full studio, completed in a laboratory, The Peak allows itself the most luxurious ambitions in arranging, heavy contrasts, from a sunny side ballad for piano and strings (the overture, « Party Crasher ») to a might pop song foliated with electronic bleeps (« Anything Today »), from emo escapism (« If You Ever ») to a grand final of weightless chorus. Cyann (Cyann&Ben), Kumi Okamoto (The Konki Duet), Sébastien Roux (12K), Olivier Cavaillé (Sylvain Chauveau), Thousand (Thousand & Bramier) et Scalde all contributed to the project.
