about

Label Info, 2006 :
In the midst of the world's fascination with so-called Electroclash, leave it to the old school to really show what post-punk is really about, while simultaneously turning the concept on its fractured head. LA STPO has the finesse and invention and the je ne sais quoi to massage its victims into a quiet trance, only to pummel them seconds later. Slices Of Thrown Time is like a Van Der Graaf arc between the bombast of Blurt/Ex/Dog Faced Hermans/Contortions/Birthday Party and the subtle, avant-composerly moments of Henry Cow/This Heat/Univers Zero/Faust. The punchy rhythm section, abetted by the squawky horns, makes for a music to which one can truly contort. LA STPO's musical muscle, however, is always backed up by solid jazz/classical informed chops that can and will chop any lesser outfit into nothing more than a pile of over-loud rock and roll dust. LA STPO infuses their punk with dynamics of both volume and texture, producing a slightly zeuhl flavoured post rock, which should, by all rights, land Slices Of Thrown Time on many a critic's year end top 10 list. We all know this will not likely happen, but hopefully there is enough room in YOUR top ten list for rock that both rocks and explores.

Rythmes Croisés, 2014, Stéphane Fougère :
Cet album contient les compositions les plus denses de LA STPO écrites à ce jour. Là où le premier LP réunissait dix-huit joyaux de concision en à peine plus de quarante minutes, ce nouveau CD de plus de cinquante minutes ne contient que six Tranches assez épaisses et richement garnies. Comme d’habitude, chaque pièce a été conçue comme une saynète, voire un court-métrage généreux en rebondissements et imprévus de toutes sortes, dont les atmosphères ont été minutieusement ouvragées, révélant un scénario pour le moins étoffé.
Sur le plan musical, l’amateur des musiques progressives des 70’s et du Rock In Opposition des années 1980 devrait se sentir en terrain sinon familier, au moins complice et averti, renvoyant les inspirations du meilleur de l’avant-rock, de KING CRIMSON à THIS HEAT en passant par GONG et FAUST.
Profitant d’un personnel plus fixe qu’à ses débuts, LA SOCIETE, forte de la complicité accrue entre ses membres, a pu développer ses tableaux musicaux et affûter ses différentes textures (rythmiques, percussives, guitaristiques, vocales…) dans les moindres détails tout en exploitant une grande palette de couleurs sonores en ayant parfois recours à quelques contributions extérieures. L’imaginaire narratif et sonore déployé le long de ces six Tranches est de ceux qui ne se livrent pas totalement à une première écoute ; son pouvoir d’émerveillement tient justement à ce qu’il semble dévoiler des recoins insoupçonnés à chaque retour d’oreille. Le « temps jeté » serait infiniment plus précieux si on le consacrait à la découverte de cet opus somptueux de LA STPO, assurément l’une des plus convulsives beautés discographiques de l’année 2006.

all of it good: the whimsy, the drama, the wild, the cosmic; deftly dancing the line between order and chaos, between the sublime and the vile, between the fathomable and the ineffable. puts the listener in a liminal limbo you don't get to be in (and still enjoy!) often. Tim Patterson

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk
