Dock in Absolute: [Re]Flekt

Read "Dock in Absolute: [Re]Flekt" reviewed by Brian Morton


I wonder if I'd get away with it? An old friend was famous for his ability to turn out newspaper columns at lightning speed and with no notice, often after a generous lunch that had stretched on until near deadline time. He'd gruffly concede that yes, that's what they paid him for, yank out a few ...

Brûlez les meubles: The Guitar and Bass Duo Who Threw Away the Script

Read "Brûlez les meubles: The Guitar and Bass Duo Who Threw Away the Script" reviewed by Lawrence Peryer


The name Brûlez les meubles carries a wry irony. While it literally means “burn the furniture" in English, the Québec duo playfully inverts the common French phrase “sauver les meubles" (preserve the essential). This tension between preservation and reinvention defines their artistic approach, especially on their latest album Folio #5 (Tour de Bras/Circum-Disc, 2024).
