The Everminds Colliding Spaces

Creators of eclectic music, The Everminds explore several rock colors in this album, not hesitating to combine the azure blue of Californian rock à la Tom Petty, the dazzling red of English pop-rock à la Blur, and the darker tones of Peter Gabriel or Radiohead. Contradictory inspirations for some, but they accept it. No surprise then that their album is called “Colliding Spaces”. Taken from a phrase from the last song, the name of the album underlines that there can be a coherent and viable project despite the meeting of varied sound worlds.There is a strong underlying message in this opus: The group expresses a desire to fight against everything that locks us in, alienates us and prevents us from raising our eyes to the sky. Lesson from the confinements suffered. Lately, Surely, Lonely, the song that opens Side A, is a saturated pop-rock track that invites us to break away from our daily lives to seek happiness in Nature. 21 grams of Insta is a breathtaking and dark title which stigmatizes our digital confinement. As for the title Fuck around, which opens the B side of the Vinyl, it is a song which offers us a beginning with Brazilian intonations and very quickly rushes into an electric and vengeful chorus. The title proclaims the refusal to resolve to submit to the pressures of everyday life, to on the contrary act to create and escape from oneself. Sometimes, The Everminds decide to take us completely out of the gray: California is a perfect example. All in color, it is an undisguised tribute to one of their deceased musical heroes mentioned above. The title Penniless takes place on the banks of the Thames and lasts for the duration of a Beatlesian romantic declaration. To stop there would be to miss a facet of the group, and listening to the titles Morning Sun, Some words hurt more than others, or Song for Everyone take us back to the essential influences of the trio: moving, organic compositions, punctuated by silences and heroic climbs, a musical rock like we don't do much anymore.An album recorded in their analog studio, at the helm of their Ssl4000g console, the trio is surrounded by a large-scale team with Antoine Reininger (B. Lavilliers, P. Bruel, A. Bauer) on bass and the famous Michael Brauer on mixes. (Coldplay “Parachutes”, Jonh Mayer “Continuum”).To listen urgently therefore,
