Well what have we got here then? A new piece of music from the ever rewarding, ever evolving beast from Lyon, France known as Pili Coït so it seems. On Peur Parasite, Pili Coït strip back down to recording as a duo for the first time since Love Everywhere and their contribution to Skin Graft’s Halloween compilation album Sounds To Make You Shudder! that came our a couple of years ago – SkinGraft, surely one of the best labels on the planet, get ready to celebrate their 150th release with David Yow joining Yowie, USA Nails, with Scissor Girl Azita and Lovely Little Girls covering Celtic Frost!.
Written and composed in their native French Language, Peur Parasite is a rumination on the parasitic people that swarm into our lives, expand and overwhelm to the detriment of everyone else – occupying everything, everywhere;
“Seriously, this is something else. You better either sit down, or put on your stretchy pants, because this French combo will shake your rump or at the very least your fundamental beliefs in music. For only two people, Pili Coït make a lot of noise, taking cues from any genre they choose, shooting back and forth from indie pop, to acoustic campfire songs, ethno dance music or heavy pogo punk. Ever present are the lovely voices of Jessica Martin and Guilhem Meier, who switch vocal duties constantly. They answer to no one but themselves, that makes the music even more free and boundless. To live and love freely like this truly is a gift. Let’s cherish it.” – Weirdo Shrine
Pili Coït are Jessica Martin Maresco: voice, floor tom, oil can, synth drum and Guilhem Meier: voice, guitar and this new track is released at the same time as the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for a new album that brings together Pili Coït and les eXocrines (if we have it right? Right now we’re getting bombarded with so so much, we don’t know if we’r3e coming or going…)
The Kickstarter campaign appears to be for a new Pili Coït/les eXocrines album. A new 2xLP and eXclusive microtonal CD. They are looking for help to “bring to life this double vinyl of microtonal “post-prehistoric” progressive rock” and tell is those who get involved with receive a Kickstarter exclusive CD available nowhere else!” – we assume that’s eXclusive microtonal CD and hopefully we’ve got all that right? Go explore, go see, go search, go go go, allez…
