Celebrate 03:28
Talking to myself Let it go You don’t have to wait You will never know What your love is made of I believe in signs leading you I believe in a path Forever new What you choose is what is going to be true I forgot how to regret This makes me wanna celebrate Un peu d’indulgence De douceur Quelques pas de danse Avec mes soeurs Et tout autour tout autour il y a la lumière Tout autour tout autour il y a là la fête I forgot how to regret This makes me wanna celebrate

Papapapa Padadadadada Je suis en plein voyage Je traverse des terres infinies En chemin vers où je suis Je vois dans les nuages La source d’eau J’ai soif et besoin de repos No way back Regarde autour de toi Qu’est-ce que tu vois? Ton avenir dans les arbres No way back

Commence à vivre vivre maintenant Commence à temps Sens ton coeur vibrer vibrer doucement Assurément Source de vie et vie et vie et d’insolence Commence à vivre Try tougoudougoudou C’est un voyage qui te ressemble Nage dans la lumière C’est cet instant que tu libères Le jour qui te guide guide et qui t’apprend Est encore long C’est en toi que vibre vibre ce moment Vibre ce son Tu n’as plus qu’à suivre suivre suivre suivre suivre ton élan Les saisons Try tougoudougoudou C’est un voyage qui te ressemble Nage dans la lumière C’est cet instant que tu libères

I search when I could find a direction of some kind Slaloming through pines All aligned I wanna build a house Made of wood and made of pride I guess It takes some time To dig your path Slowly, surely on the way I’m leaning in the bends twisting in the waves I take a chance to change (Cause) time’s a friend I guess It takes some time To dig your path Slowly, surely The shorter way hasn’t much to say

underneath your land filled by your water i'm seizing all your strength i find it in the dirt it's leading me to where i'm from it's leading me to where i'm free An ever-filling place all along the way my body's an answer i feed it with your strength i focus on your touch it's leading me to where i'm soothed it's leading me to where i'm safe an ever-resting place Hey catch the wave Be brave and find/catch me there Hey catch the wave underneath your name hides my emotion I’ve taken all your strength i needed it so much you're leading me to where i'm new you're leading me to where i'm now An ever-moving place Hey catch the wave Be brave and find/catch me there Hey catch the wave I mean I couldn't be too alone I couldn't be too alone Alone

Levitating boy Can you see We’ve so much to enjoy Easily Waving in my deep secret dreams You’re the unknown bird You’re the unknown breeze Navigating girl Come with me my brain’s in a whirl let’s do nothing Swimming in your deep secret dreams Wanna be the boat Wanna be the deep As you float You float You float You float Then you float You float You float You float You float You float You float You float Then you float You float You float You float

A Te Voir 03:23
À te voir t'amuser de l'écume des rochers Y a de quoi tout quitter venir te retrouver À te voir allégé par l'azur reflété dans les vagues j’ose À te voir essoufflé perlé d'eau t'allonger Y a de quoi se laisser dérouter par l'été Je divague un éclair dans le ciel me distrait echo d’un loin....tain danger Dessous quoi en silence l'océan accueillait Nos corps en joie nos coeurs sains & saufs!

Je ne compte plus les heures les secondes les années Je me fous du temps qui passe Ça coule sous ma peau Ça s’ouvre comme une orange Ça m’éclabousse le bout des pieds Nous sommes au carrefour c’est gros comme une épingle L’iceberg sur quoi nous sommes perchés Pour contempler la fin du monde Moi je crois qu’on en a encore pour longtemps moi ce que je veux c’est que la beauté ne soit plus un péché Il fait si chaud dans la jungle des choses qui n’existent pas Tout est trop dehors Trop à côté trop fuyant J’ai rendez-vous avec toi pour l’amour peau contre peau L’un et l’autre amants initiés Amants initiés On s’aimera comme des voyageurs Il faut me secouer si j’ai peur Me réveiller si je baille Me talonner si j’abandonne C’est comme ça qu’on brise les frontières Qu’on fait bouger les continents La vie la mort se dévorent en nous confiant leurs secrets il faut tout leur donner La confiance et l’imagination Ta si belle chevaline Ton cou ton cul ton coeur tes mains J’ai rendez-vous avec l’histoire pour retrouver la ferveur Rendez-vous avec vous pour désamorcer la peur la guerre la fatigue et la machinalité qui tue la machinalité qui tue Ne perds pas ça tous ces bijoux que tu as là inside Ta matière grise c’est le non dit De l’état du monde et des choses Ton génie c’est la vie qui ose aimer d’ombre et de lumière de sang et de boue De calme de chaos tout te manque quand tu n’es pas là Laisse tomber l’avenir /// I’m not counting the hours The seconds the years anymore I don’t care about Time passing by any more It’s simply running under my skin It’s opening out like an orange It’s splattering my feet We are at the crossroads It’s no bigger than a pinhead The iceberg from where we Gaze at the end of the world I believe we’re here for a while yet And what I want is beauty No being a sin anymore Everything is too outside Beside running away It is so hot in the jungle of Things that don’t exist I want to meet you skin to skin You and me lovers Initiated You and me making love like travelers Shake me if I’m scared Wake me if I’m bored Hound me if I abandon So that the frontiers can be broken And the continents will move Life and death devour each other While telling us their secrets You must give them all of your Confidence and imagination Your neck your heart Your ass your hands I have a date with history To regain fervour A date with you to defuse Fear war tiredness And banality that kills Don’t lose all those jewels You’ve got there inside Your grey matter The unspoken part of the world Your genius which is nothing but Life daring to love Both light and darkness Mud and blood Quietness and chaos Don’t you know you’re missing everything When you’re not there Forget about the future Forget about the future Forget about the future

Here comes something,

It's a record, it's called Celebrate and it lives up to its name.

It's the second album by Halo Maud.

The memorable first outing Je suis une île appeared on Heavenly Recordings. Its serpentine, virtuoso dream-pop warmed our cockles and began to impose its creator on the Ouija board of modern pop that is international, adventurous and unifying. Ideally supported by a large, flexible band/group, Maud sang intriguing melodies scribbled in real-world languages, psychedelic escalators piercing thick mists of electricity.

Less introspective, Celebrate carries this on, opens it up wide, radicalizes it and makes it jump up even higher. And so it begins, with the tip of the tongue, for 25 seconds, before the sound, suddenly massive, licks around the edges of the speaker in a droning riff: this is the first exhilarating lift-off on a record that delivers plenty, placed end to end. In twelve steep, superbly produced songs (between Paris and Los Angeles in assorted company), by the melding of contrary moods and multigrain collisions, Celebrate pulls off the tour de force of being at once meditative, hectic, yet perfectly coherent. Halo Maud has this talent (it should be said) of making welcome (read: irresistibly bold) links between hirsute pop, colorful rock, avant-garde, and sumptuous easy listening. Between racket and lullaby, Deerhoof, whose afterburner Greg Saunier here co-produces several tracks, and Françoise Hardy. Between two laboratory operators Kevin Parker and Flavien Berger, the latest taking to the mic for an amazing for an amazing cover of Iceberg, Fred Frith's blissful Anthropocene hymn.

There's more: guitar played like Monkian piano, the chorus that hits the spot, the turbulent synths and the mystery of Bulgarian voices (check out the accentuated "eeees" in the high notes; note the title Pesnopoika), the anxieties, the great joys. All with a reverb regulated like a dawn that enlarges space, that sheds light.

Halo Maud writes songs that touch, that grab hold, that astonish, that excite. And in two languages, introspective French and projectile English, which call and respond, which augment each other, endowing each song with two complementary hearts: one centripetal for soliloquy and solitary reverie, the other centrifugal for skill, friendship and fighting. Two languages as clear as can be, with counted words, with tiny steps, two languages that can tell the tale of a stream, a sisterly celebration, worldly patience, the intoxication of dancing.

The literature of Halo Maud can all be summed up in a few slogans, pop formulae and spiritual reflections that she hums, whistles or spits out into the air. While her voice turns constantly in her river melodies, the current carries behind her branches that scratch, stones, large animals.

Tumultuous, generous, Celebrate, in its shaman's shroud of ecstatic pop, of rock played flat-out and back-to-front, mischievous or meditative, is a collection of festive prayers.

What if Celebrate were a gospel record after all?
