Lost in the Sound, speaks of this hypnagogic state, between waking and sleeping, where one drifts by abandoning oneself to the mysterious forces of inspiration.
Here With You strikes immediately for its cohesion and diversity. Cohesion of an airy and radiant sound. The listener opens the window and heads for the final frontier: California, the Pacific Ocean, the promise of an endless summer. We will necessarily come across the ghosts of the Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac or Donald Fagen. Diversity of directions taken: Vintage Creem takes us on the side of the soul of the Jacksons Five, UFO hovers above a synthetic and dreamy G-funk (Dr Dre and Tangerine Dream met in an elevator?), Breakfast in LA sailing offshore with Christopher Cross and Aphex Twin, Hot sets Chic's ideal funk ablaze, Wicked Wicked propels us into the Bubble Factory of the Monkeys. If Here With You has the finery of a joyful and carefree album, the melancholy nevertheless points in the lyrics which scrutinize the game of appearances, which track the passage of time. “The body dances and the head thinks” as Xavier Boyer puts it so well. The end of the trip ends with Let's Get Started, a way for Tahiti 80 to reset the mileage before a new start?
