The Wedding Soundtrack was at the beginning, a solo project going form
suicidal pop to antifolk, where friends gave help sometimes. The man
and his project have survived and come back with a new shape. The
Wedding Soundtrack is now a trio. The six-legs beast pursues its
running in music, pounces sometimes on stretchers, fires at its own
ambulance and of everything (of the piano, the violin, the battery
(drum kit), the banjo, the kazoo, limp with rhythm and lots of other
thingummies). Naturally, the music feels the effects of it, in a waltz
where furies make some hand-to-hand fight with sweetness, where we
enjoy ourselves with despair. Simon (violinist of Luis Francesco Arena
and one-man band of the group), Mathilde (drums) and Clement (voice and
guitar) propose a music full of life with feast and hangovers, walks in
the woods and shouts at night. The relative instrumental debauchery of
the trio, puts up with minimalist intentions, short songs and an idea
of demonstration as well remote from the group as, let us say, the
atolls of Tuvalu are it of Combes la ville (French godforsaken).
It took 3 years to give birth to a follow up to
“poland”. Now it’s done and called Na Na Na Ro. During those 3 years
simon kept learning how to play new instruments, mathilde took full
responsability on the drums and clement kept writing a presposterous
number of songs. During those 3 years the band kept widening their
musical range but never indulged themselves to cheap and alluring
collages.
Further good news, as a tradition in the band, a 4th member joined in
after this 3rd record, is name is vivien and he met with the wedding
soundtrack at a common gig with his former band, via dubai.
