La grogne, le grincement, l'agacement, la frustration de ceux qui ne
possèdent pas la puissance.
Les dents serrées une dernière fois avant de
crever la
gueule ouverte.
Le quotidien est l'ultime champ de protestation.
Régis Victor à la guitare et
un peu à la batterie, Mulan Serrico à la
batterie, au chant et un peu à la guitare.
Un album de punk rock français enregistré en
trois jours à Montréal, QC.

"Came along with a passive-aggressive note addressing my review of
member Nicolas Murer’s previous release as Drosofile. Murer
will
be happy to know that I enjoy this work of his much more, and am since
divorced of any desire to comment on his life or schooling. Speaking of
divorced, these seven songs are separated almost completely from
emotions, Murer and bandmate Regis Trapeau trading off on guitars,
bass, drums and vocals, keeping all but one of the tracks in a
lockstep, almost demonstrative bluster. It sounds mindless, but in the
hypnotic way that works to make music interesting, not the stupid,
poorly considered choices that would amount to a mistake.
It’s
like they’ve freed themselves from attention to anyone but
each
other, and pound those instruments like machines (with the exception of
“Grenoble Pour Toujous,” limping along with a
single-note
bassline and low energy, and positioned second on the EP, so you are
forced to notice it). Hey, sometimes the static approach works. This
would be one of those times."

"Great modern and minimal DIY post-punk from Gueule Ouverte, an
ostensibly Montreal-based duo featuring at least one of those Drosofile
guys (who I could certainly use more music from). I knew as soon as I
saw the Sharpie-drawn lumps of matter on the front and back covers that
I was gonna dig this one, but the music holds up its end of the
bargain, too – they’re just a bass (or guitar) and
drums
duo, but they play it like The Door And The Window did, lightly tapping
through some songs and noisily falling on the floor with others.
Occasionally moments of punk rock will rise to the surface (much like
acne), but I like it best when they play like a couple of drunk
French-Canadians trying to find the mid-point of Karp and Young Marble
Giants. I’ve really enjoyed the whole record quite a bit, and
hope it’s not too long before this disturbed camp sends out
their
next transmission."

"Avec Nicolas Murer du duo Drosofile, il ne fallait pas s'attendre
à de la grande poésie. Mais là, on
touche le fond.
J'ai bien essayé d'y dénicher un second
douzième
degré, une finesse cachée mais non, faut craindre
que ces
merveilleuses paroles soient tristement sérieuses et
qu'elles
fassent uniquement rire au dépend de son auteur. Au moins,
avec
Drosofile, on sentait comme une certaine distance, mais là,
c'est niveau zéro. Quelques titres suffiront à
votre
peine : Grenoble pour toujours, T'es un gros con, Marre de bosser, Tu
pues du cul. Beugler avec la grâce d'un supporter de foot, il
est
donc difficile de trouver un intérêt à
ce
mélange de Parabellum et des Sheriff et
d'écouter, comme
si de rien n'était les huit titres de ce duo (l'autre gars
se
nomme Régis Trapeau). Musique tout aussi rudimentaire, punk
primaire, rugueux, pugnace et saturé pour les meilleurs
moments,
basique et relativement pauvre en général, digne
d'un
groupe de lycée pour la fête de la musique. Qu'ils
crèvent la gueule ouverte."

This pounding percussion and feed-backing bass duo keeps it minimal and
devastating but doesn’t believe in keeping it anything else,
other than weird. Thusly, they are far more Suicide-ish than they are
relatable to any other post-White Stripes duo. Refusing to draw lines
between punk, noise, novelty rock, reggae, garage trash, art core,
falling down the stairs music, math drone, rock, and more rock, this
band is only better in my ears because their guttural vocals are all in
French, so I imagine they are just making fun of me for liking their
absurd audio.

This
cover art tells me absolutely nothing. Al Hirschfeld
draws a popcorn kernel? An x-ray or police sketch of a tonsil stone?
What gives…This Mouth Agape is a French Canadian punk duo
that
likes to keep it really minimal. Like Anals sans keys minimal. Think of
a gruff, stripped bare Metal Urbain teamed up with that Lamps gorilla
pummel. It’s low end only, ladies. Bass (or is it baritone
guitars?) and drums that manage to entertain throughout this entire EP,
even though I have no clue what’s been said or
what’s been
played. Just a couple simpletons sluggin’ it out and learning
how
as they go. Primordial amplified ooze that occasionally grunts like Art
Phag or Numbskull, both of which are pleasing to my canals (all of
‘em). There's a misstep into raga groove that bugs my ass a
smidge, but the rest of their inept post-punk mayhem makes up for it.
