It's been quite a while that Marie Merlet aka Iko Chérie a french expatriate lighten up London and the rest of the world with her well crafted etheral pop. Before recording her wonderful ''Soft Centre'' Marie Merlet was involved in Monade (with Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab hall of fame , Lisbonne and Zooey. After her previous album ''Dreaming On'' released in 2015 suffice to say that the decade long wait was worthwhile courtesy of Pingipung records . A smashing label based in Hamburg and home of the great new album by Marie Klock and Anadol !!! A stamp of quality if you ask me!

I 'd quote Laetitia Sadier and says : ''Marie Merlet aka Iko Chérie has landed new music of a divine nature. Divine because it speaks of the Ocean, it speaks of witches, it speaks of justice and things unseen, it speaks to sensitive people who know that there is importance in telling our truth and making a just noise that may find its echo in the dark, amplified by the atoms of resonance, coming to life through a song with a wholesome story''. Marie/Iko has a lot to say about the feminine divine in music, London art scene, french pop , the creative process...and many more topics ! But you have to listen to my podcast if you want to know more ! A very uplifing artist and podcast indeed !

Formed in 1978 The Monochrome set are now an institution. But not a dusty museum ''au contraire''. If the über sharp auteurs of ''Jet Set Junta'' are still going it's mainly because, Bid the ''maitre d'oeuvre'' of this whole post-punk Shindig is some kind of visionary. Without him Morrissey , Jarvis Cocker or Damon Albarn wouldn't have existed. And the whole music scene would have been different. Like the Velvet Underground or The Sparks , The Monochrome set are a band which underground influence overshadow their popularity. So even if the name of Bid is not as popular as the one of Bono , it's brillance stand the test of time. Check ''Lotus Bridge'' and wonder at the still strong relevance of Bid and friends Body Of work !'' -

Michka Assayas est bien d'avantage qu'un éminent rock critic , romancier ou encore animateur radio. C'est tout simplement un honnête homme au sens ou on le donnait au XVII ème siècle. Selon la formule consacrée , ''on ne guéri jamais vraiment de son enfance''. Autant alors l'explorer , le passé des années de formation éclairant le présent. C'est pourquoi ''Une mère en fuite'' que l'on soit admiratif du parcours de Mr Assayas ou pas se révèle être une lecture passionnante. Une plongée dans une époque et un monde si proche mais qui nous parait aujourd'hui lointain. Et surtout l'étude de caractère qui parlera à tous ceux et celles qui connurent des mères distantes.
