From their rural French fastness, Marylise Frecheville (free jazz percussion and torch singing), and Eric Boros (anarcho-art-punk guitar and stentorian declamations), continue to surprise.
Largely sung in English, and enclosed in a 54 page cloth bound libretto, A L’Abri des Regards Indiscrets pitches reproachful psychoanalytical duets over slapped face rhythms, broken gutter blues, and anthemic surges, in the soundtrack of a collapsing relationship.
A French refit of Ivor Cutler’s infantile tit-for-tat squabble Counting Song is the album’s perfect centrepiece.
