Description
'Les Cigales' takes its' sonic cues from the structure of flm and TV music
from the 1960s and 70s, channelling the infuence of flm composers
such as Francois de Roubaix and David Axelrod, whilst also sitting
somewhere between the washed out, sun-soaked sonics of Surprise Chef
and Robohands
As the EP unwinds, its narrative refects a love story, full of longing, melancholy
and drama, connecting with the story of Gyptis and Protis - the founding myth of
Marseilles - whose love broke convention and welcomed the arrival of foreign
people on French soil.
The project follows The Ofine's debut album 'La couleur de la mer', released in
November 2023, which saw him create his own soundtrack to a flm yet to be
made. Inducing images of manorial, fog- swept villas at the seas edge,
silhouetted sailing boats and cigar- chomping villains attempting to thwart the
mission of an imaginary hero, the record is a masterfully composed sonic
journey. 'Les Cigales' sees him continue to build upon a distinctive sound that
moves from dramatic cues to fragile romanticism, incorporating psychedelic
spaciness, retro soul and hip-hop sensibilities informed by his extensive record
collection.
