C'est toujours le meilleur pari à prendre que d’attendre l'inattendu avec Picola Naine. Quel que soit l’instrument qu'il explore (chant, guitare, piano, sampler…), chacun de ses projets a une identité qui lui est propre et porte sa griffe.
Toutes les Rations… est peut-être un de ses détour les plus surprenants : une excursion dans la chanson française.
Mais il y a quelque chose d'intrinsèquement pervers sur la notion même de chanson chez Picola Naine. L'album est tout à la fois plein d'ironie et débordant d'affection. En fait, sa vraie dimension subversive est peut-être son impossibilité à concilier à la fois une réelle envie de s’ouvrir au grand public et la volonté d’aller toujours plus loin, telle une fuite, dans l’expérimentation et la déconstruction.
Chaque titre est conçu avec un soin remarquable et regorge de profondeur. Picola Naine explore des atmosphères tour à tour douces, âpres, chaleureuses, arides et organiques, et fait preuve d’une très grande inventivité, malgré les limites que le concept semblerait vouloir imposer. Il trouve autant de possibilités dans la chanson que lorsqu’il expérimente avec des machines ou sa guitare.
Bien que chacune des pistes de l'album soit minutieusement conçue, la fragilité de l’ensemble offre un contraste saisissant avec l’énergie, les arrangements débridés et les paroles extravagantes et inattendues.
Sur une base simple, il déploie chaque morceau et cherche l’endroit de la rupture. Il développe avec une compréhension instinctive des combinaisons étonnantes pleine de détails, des textures particulières et des cadres originaux. Sa recherche ressemble à une course sur un chemin labyrinthique dans un pays étrange, jusqu'au moment où l’on brise l’enceinte afin de pouvoir s'échapper… Mais jamais totalement, jamais définitivement.
Toute pudeur mis à part, cet album de Picola Naine réaffirme qu'il n'est pas seulement un musicien qui travaille sur la déconstruction (sans jamais sombrer dans la condescendante postmoderne), mais aussi un arrangeur avec un talent d’auteur-compositeur.
Il combine des éléments musicaux qui n'ont parfois rien à voir dans la structure des morceaux, ce qui peut au prime abord ne pas faire sens aux oreilles qui ne sont pas habituées. Sur le plan conceptuel, il serait bien sûr trop facile de voir Toutes les Rations… comme n’importe quelle autre expérimentation dans une longue lignée de déconstruction.
Il y a évidemment une tentative de relecture des orchestrations de la chanson française, et des textes qui touchent à un autre niveau, cependant, c'est d’abord un vrai travail d'amour, et son exubérance, sa créativité et son envie d'aller plus loin et de remodeler l'esthétique de la chanson est plus importante que bien des exercices intellectuels.
Toutes les Rations… demeure complètement accessible, mélodique, avec des paroles drôles, émouvantes et révélatrices d’une sensibilité unique qui réussi à créer, au fur et à mesure de ses albums, sa propre marque idiosyncrasique.
It’s always the best bet to expect the unexpected with Picola NAINE. Whatever the instrument he explores (vocals, guitar, piano, sampler ...), each project has its own identity, and bears his signature. TOUTES LES RATIONS... might be one of his most surprising bend: a trip in French songs.
But there’s something inherently perverse about the concept of song with Picola NAINE. The album is at once full of irony and full of affection. In fact, its true subversive dimension may be its inability to accommodate both a real desire to be listenable to a large audience and the will to go even further, as a leak, in experimentation and deconstruction.
Each title is made carefully and full of depth. Picola NAINE explores atmospheres from moment to moment sweet, bitter, warm, dry and organic, and he shows great inventiveness, despite the limits the concept would seem to impose. He found as many possibilities in the song as he experiments with machines and guitar.
Although each tracks on album is remarkable conceived, the fragility of the whole makes contrasts with the energy, unbridled arrangements and unexpected extravagant lyrics.
On a simple basis, each piece unfolds and seeks the location of the rupture. He develops an instinctive understanding of combinations full of amazing details, and textures and original spaces. His research looks like a run in a labyrinthine in a strange land, until you break the walls for escape ... but never completely, not for ever.
This album reaffirms Picola NAINE is not just a musician who works on deconstruction (without falling into postmodern condescension), but also an arranger with talent for songwriting.
He combines musical elements that may have nothing to do with the structure of songs, and at first it seems to don’t make sense to the ears. Conceptually, it would be of course too easy to see TOUTES LES RATIONS... like any other experiment in a long line of deconstruction.
There is obviously an attempt to replay the orchestrations of French song, and lyrics that touch on another level, however, it’s first of all a true work of love, and exuberance, creativity and desire to go further and to redesign the aesthetics of the song is much more important than intellectual exercises. TOUTES LES RATIONS... remains completely accessible, melodic, with funny lyrics, touching and revealing a unique sensibility that get to create, all along his albums, his own idiosyncratic mark.
