Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp presents 'ROTOROTOR', the thrilling third album produced by John Parish (P.J Harvey, Eels, Giant Sand, Dominique A.). 'ROTOROTOR' (a nod to Duchamp's famous rotoreliefs and to the latter's taste for palindromes) is a manifesto for free and adventurous music, organised in versatile pop songs; playful and fervent, incandescent, funny and impetuous, assuming without ostentation a sort of fragmented futurist traditionalism, combining festivity and war, wedding dances and battle-cries. Around Vincent Bertholet's obstinate double bass riffs, Maël Saletes' striking and stumbling guitar lines keep up a hypnotic dialogue. The melodic counterpoint of Aïda Diop's marimba, here voluble and danceable, there more pointillistic, and Mathias Forge's trombone, groove impeccably along on the drumming of Wilf Plum (who we know from the legendary Dog Faced Hermans, a notable influence on OTPMD) whose playing lays down a groove of soul shivers and rhythm'n'blues syncopation. Not to mention the majestic singing of Liz Moscarola (violinist, and with Bertholet the only remaining original band member) who casts spells and enchants the world as if it were nothing. It's a voice with an infinitely varied register of expression: machine-gun talk-over, onomatopoeia pushed to the limits of language, melodies unfurled with a sweet movement or broken jingles. Liz Moscarola is as amusing as she is moving and her absolute naturalness borders on white magic.
