Suction Cups Won't Stick To Tub

REDBONG - Coup de grisou

Redbong done in hip-hop electronica. The name just says could quickly put on the wrong track if we think of Taxes, the Guarantor and other actors in this new generation of hip-hop decided to dust off the genre with the addition of electro example. Because if taxes have become masters in the all-out experimentation in both voices in the sounds, Redbong choose their party's dance floor.

The flow is rapid and incisive: Way old school to the Rockin 'Squat Assassin or Svinkels with a few excursions ragga. Nothing very innovative at that level, but the formula that we know well is very effective, tailored for the stage. Instrument side, we slap squarely in the hardcore electro. Loud sounds and vibrant, supported by a topping of infra-low key back that we live in rural areas invested by the free party (Remenber. ..). The moods vary, however, with samples of brass, guitars, slower tempos ...

Many themes and a common thread: Nobody will be spared! "Striptease" deal with the beauferie room (on a sample of the program "Striptease" in France 3, très efficace !). On se lâche sur "1sectivore", qui semble être l'occasion de régler ses comptes avec différentes scènes croisées au fil du temps : Rapeurs pompe à fric, rastamans fachos, parasites de free party. Les fafs avec "Bombe H", "Sarkophage" quand à lui est une lettre ouverte à qui vous savez. Des textes évoluant entre dénonciation et humour qui permet de ne pas s'enliser dans les clichés.

Si "Coup de Grisou" est plutôt réussi dans son ensemble, quelques détails peuvent apparaître gênants : des flows et des textes un peu faibles parfois (par soucis d'originalité peut-être...) ce qui contraste étrangement avec la quality of the rest of the album. Rendering beats me also a little disappointed at times, albeit predictable, having discovered the band live. Which takes the following warning: If Redbong passes to you, GO! Having seen the group at 3:00 am before an audience of about forty dead exhausted, I can tell you that the challenge was met with flying colors: Huge benefit!
