This sixth album of Idem confirms what the last shows of the band let augur: the comment has become rhythmically simplified, it is almost possible to dance on certain tracks. And who knows Idem since his beginnings knows that it is about a mini-revolution there. The band also grants a more and more significant place to the voice. This one is not just a supplementary instrument flooded in the general atmosphere anymore. Having tried hip-hop on the previous record, Idem is no more afraid today of writing true songs, and do not take refuge anymore behind complexity. And then we get the quintessence of Idem’s works: emotion. In spite of the icy and dark content of their music, these three musicians compose as Enki Bilal draws its boards or David Lynch realizes his movies: by looking after all the details until you forget why you love. // Jerome Simmoneau
