Arrivé à la hâte, vers 2, 3h du mat
Lady Gaga te fait signe que la soirée se gâte
Un regard je jette, vers la porte des toilettes, une fille à quatre pattes
La tête dans la cuvette, réjection immédiate
Agathe, Agathe, fallait que j'arrive avant le dernier acte
Agathe, Agathe, quand ton intestin était encore intact
Agathe, Agathe, du coup je te mate pendant que tu comates
Agathe, Agathe, ouais je sais dit comme ça j'ai l'air d'un psychopathe
Un psychopathe...
Situation trop délicate, faut pas que je manque de tact
Mais j'ai les pupilles qui se dilatent et le cœur plus lourd qu'une frégate
Demande moi c'que tu veux Agathe, je répondrai du tac au tac
Tu tiens à peine sur tes pattes laisse-moi t'amener un verre d'eau plate
Agathe, Agathe, fallait que j'arrive avant le dernier acte
Agathe, Agathe, quand ton intestin était encore intact
Agathe, Agathe, du coup je te mate pendant que tu comates
Agathe, Agathe, ouais je sais dit comme ça j'ai l'air d'un psychopathe
Je ferai tout pour Agathe, toute sorte de tâche ingrate,
Résoudre un problème de maths, me battre contre Goliath
Je ferai tout pour Agathe, toute sorte de tâche ingrate
Réussir un nœud de cravate, ou même passer à l'acte
Agathe, Agathe, j'ai plus qu'une chose à tenter vu que tout rate
Agathe, Agathe, t'écrire une chanson un peu maladroite
Agathe, Agathe, en français ou en anglais je me tâte
Agathe, I got no idea how to finish that
How to finish that
How to finish that
How to finish that
Agathe, I got to know

It doesn’t seem like distance has been a problem for COUR DE RÉCRÉ. The trio formed by Stan, Quentin and Chloé, based in France, is giving us a new advance single, while letting us know about the imminent arrival of their first LP as part of our new talent collection, “New Adventures In Pop”. And while we are waiting for that to come, we can enjoy this “Agathe, Agathe”, a new show of their fast-paced, lively, eclectic and unpredictable electronic pop. The song plays with catchy melodies and winds up giving us impossible developments. Metallic synthesizers and fast drum machines. Sonic parameters that are special and all their own but are also perfectly aligned with a new French scene that is full of vintage digital sounds put together with imagination and grace, like CLIO, ASCENDANT VIERGE, THE PIROUETTES, VIDEOCLUB and PÉPITE, among many others.
But the group’s pronounced personality is not only evident in their sound; it is also in their esthetic. We already saw this in their previous video “Vice Et Werther”, but here they take it up a notch. 3D animation with a vintage spirit, provocative, abounding in so many sensations that it can make you feel hopeful and bewildered, beauty and desperation, fragility and strength. It is a challenge in which the digital artist Antoine_Josset places the avatars for our musicians in a room where dancing gives way to imaginative, unpredictable, undefinable solutions. See for yourselves. Listen for yourselves. Words, in situations like this, are never quite right.
COUR DE RÉCRÉ BIOGRAPHY:
The story of COUR DE RÉCRÉ is a story of distance. The band originally came together as a duo, with Stan and Héloïse, who were at the time a long-distance couple separated by all the thousands of kilometers there are between Avignon and Santiago de Chile. He wrote the songs, and the two of them sang in honor of that love floating in space, about seeing each other again, and the scarce but intense moments of being together. A friend of Stan’s, Quentin, started helping them out with some ideas, and finally became a regular part of the group as a songwriter. To deal with the distance problem, in live shows, Chloé replaced Héloïse on vocals and ended up doing the same in later recordings as well.
Just when it seemed like things are starting to come together, Stan left in 2017 to go to Canada for two years. But he still did not give in to the problems caused by distance, and using digital communications, they kept working on the project until their first EP, “Éponyme”, was released in December 2018, after several years of intense activity on SoundCloud.
In 2019, Stan went back to Toulouse, where Quentin was still living, but Chloé had moved to Paris, making good on that premise that seems to condemn the group to keep working long-distance. But there is no obstacle that keeps inspiration from reaching them. They work with an irreverent and carefree synth-pop that is fresh and ultra-melodic. According to Stan, some of their references are Romain Guerret (DONDOLO, ALINE), LA MONJA ENANA and FREEZEPOP (he has been listening to so many Elefant albums since he was really young), THE PIROUETTES and DENIM. And the proof of this is “Vice Et Werther”, their first Digital Single for our label, as part of the “New Adventures In Pop” collection, to be released at the end of 2020.
