Saturday November 26, 8:00 p.m. Caracol and Sarah Bradley at the
Little Montreal
‘Au cœur de l’hiver de 2011, Carole Facal (alias Caracol) s’est enfermé dans un cocon sonore pour composer les pièces de son nouvel album ‘Blanc mercredi’. Inspirés par des images hivernales, des poems d’amour, des livres de peinture et d’art déco, ses textes francophones et anglophones se collent à des musiques aux accents folk, pop alternatif et rétro-soul.Accompagnée par ses musiciens, c’est dans une ambiance quasi familial que Caracol peint son « Blanc mercredi ». En cet univers intimiste,
les sonorités délicieusement fêlées côtoient les harmonies vocales raffinées et les guitares, résonateurs, ukulélés, vieux amplificateurs et percussions de toutes sortes. Le résultat est lumineux et authentique, résolument moderne, rempli d’amour… non sans ironie pour Caracol, qui avait jadis juré ne jamais écrire à ce sujet! Or, ses chansons hypersensibles rappellent que la beauté existe toujours et que les certitudes, aussi rares soient-elles, sont belles.’
It’s was on a snowy winter morning that Carole Facal (a.k.a Caracol) came up with her first muse for « Blanc Mercredi ». In the comfort of her cozy studio, surrounded by her faithful instruments, she wrote interminably… Inspired by winter images, love poems, paintings and Art Deco books, the songs started to rise. French and English lyrics were given beautiful folk, pop, alternative and retro-soul melodies. From this enchanting, slightly chaotic universe, emerged a collection of songs where sophisticated vocal harmonies, resonator guitars, ukuleles, old amplifiers and percussion of all kinds remind you that beauty still exists and that certainties, as rare as they are, are a beautiful thing.
For this second album, Caracol surrounded herself with pretty much the same team as for her first critically acclaimed recording, “L’Arbre aux Parfums” (2008). Produced by Sébastien Blais-Montpetit (Producer of the year 2011 at the ADISQ with Radio Radio and guitarist with DJ Champion) and accompanied by her touring musicians, “Blanc Mercredi” has a family-like spirit. This results in a luminous, authentic and modern album filled with love. Ironic for one whom once had vowed never to write about love!
