after_#noussommessonores_25: DARREN CROSS (AUS) en showcase @ Balades Sonores
Darren D.C Cross is an instrumental ecstatic guitarist.
In the tradition of Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Nick Drake, Elizabeth Cotton and Mississipi John Hurt but forging a unique Australian perspective on the genre. Open guitar tunings to conjure light and shade and bring the spirit.
Cross previously of Sydney trailblazers Gerling and folk Noir Duo Jep and Dep, has knuckled down for the last 8 years specializing in the fingerstyle hybrid of what he calls Australian Ecstatic Guitar, the sweet spot between Doc Watson Bluegrass, British Folk revival and American Primitive guitar, even influenced by German duo Kolbe & Illenberger.
Cross has been creating music for the last 25 years, from Gerling to Jep and Dep, and has written songs with Kool Keith, Kylie Minogue. He played shows with artists ranging from Beastie Boys, Beck, and Happy Monday to Johnny Marr, Courtney Barnett, Ryley Walker, Smog, Will Oldham to recently Ed Kuepper and Jim White, Xylouris White, Mess-esque, Marissa Anderson and the Apartments.
He also helped record demos for the Apartments and composed stings on The Apartments album « In and Out of the Light ».
« Cross is emerging as an important voice among the modern players who continue to find new territory in the world of guitar discovered by John Fahey (who, of course, also experimented with found sounds and electronics). With the release of two fine albums in so short a time, he seems to be on a creative tear. Fans of Bachman, Isasa, Jones, Rolin, et al., take note ».

#NOUSSOMMESSONORES_25 = « NEVER ENOUGH » & « MORE »
***********
« MORE », c’est le titre de nouvel album de PULP qu’on attend avec tant d’impatience (et qu’on fête en grandes pompes le mercredi 04 juin)…
« NEVER ENOUGH », c’est le titre de nouvel album de TURNSTILE qu’on attend avec tant d’impatience (et qu’on fête en grandes pompes le jeudi 05 juin)…
Et c’est définitivement une sorte de LEITMOTIV’ACTION qui nous colle fortement aux basques chez Balades Sonores… malgré notre paradoxale envie de faire mieux mais moins
