We start with the 1st album, ‘The Future Is Our Way Out’ (ATO Records, P.I.A.S) by Brigitte Calls Me Baby, whose 1st EP was released at the end of last year.
This quintet of young musicians from Chicago have succeeded in carving out a powerful and singular path with a rock style that's full of references ... Their songwriting is as brilliant as it is sincere, and their instrumentation as edgy and sharp as it is chiselled ... And then, of course, there's Wes Leavins' singing, a miracle of balancing act, somewhere between Roy Orbison and Morrisey, daring to do anything and yet never falling ... Youth gives wings, that's for sure ... We don't know how long this state of grace will last, but let's feverishly enjoy the moment, abandoning ourselves to these delights that are as full of vitamins as they are languorous ... Enjoy!

On commence par le 1er album, "The Future Is Our Way Out" (ATO Records, P.I.A.S) de Brigitte Calls Me Baby, dont nous avions déjà apprécié le 1er EP paru en fin d'année dernière.
Ce quintet de jeunes musiciens de Chicago réussit l'exploit de tracer une route puissante et singulière avec un rock pourtant truffé de références ... La faute à un songwriting aussi brillant que sincère et à une instrumentation aussi nerveuse et tranchante que ciselée ... Et puis bien sûr il y a le chant de Wes Leavins, miracle d'équilibrisme, entre Roy Orbison et Morrisey, qui ose tout et qui pourtant ne tombe jamais ... La jeunesse donne des ailes, c'est ici certain ... On ne sait si l'état de grâce durera, mais profitons fiévreusement de l'instant en nous abandonnant à ces délices aussi vitaminés que langoureux ... Enjoy !
