Yuksek - Living On The Edge Of Time


Il y a deux ans Yuksek se faisait connaitre en sortant "Away from the sea", son premier album. Un album résolument éléctro et club qui n’était pas passé aperçu. Aujourd’hui Pierre-Alexandre Buisson fait un virage a 180° avec "Living On The Edge Of Time", un album pop et new wave. 

Comme beaucoup d’artiste électro, Yuksek a voulu adapter sa musique au live, pour lui donner de la profondeur. C’est de cette manière qu’il a complètement métamorphosé son style en le rendant moins agressif mais plus mélodieux, ses chansons ont gagné en souplesse et en finesse.

"Living On The Edge Of Time", c’est donc 11 titres électro pop/rock d’influences diverses. Dans cette hétérogénéité, on trouvera "Off The Wall" qui pourrait être le dernier single de Cut Copy, "On A Train" qui s’annonce comme un des tubes de l’été mais aussi les chœurs de "Dead Or Alive" qui ne sont pas prêt de nous lassés. Difficile de dire quels titres resteront…

Cependant ceux qui attendaient un album Dancefloor risquent d’être un peu déçus. C'est sortie le 13 juin.

Two years ago Yuksek became known thanks to "Away from the sea", his first album. It was definitely an Electro and club album, an important success. Today Pierre-Alexandre Buisson is making a 180 ° turn with "Living On The Edge Of Time", a more pop and new wave album.

Like many electro artist, Yuksek wanted to adapt his music to live, to give it depth. This is how he has completely transformed his style by making it less aggressive but more melodic, his songs have gained flexibility and finesse.

Thus, In "Living On The Edge Of Time" there are 11 tracks of electro pop/rock of various influences. In this heterogeneity, we can find "Off The Wall" which could have been the last single of Cut Copy, "On A Train" promises to be one of the summer hit, but also the choruses of "Dead Or Alive" with whom we are not ready to be fed-up. Hard to say, which songs will remain…

But those who expected a Dancefloor album might be a little bit disappointed.
