AVEC LE SOLEIL SORTANT DE SA BOUCHE
ZUBBERDUST! (CONSTELLATION)
Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche began in 2011, with bassist, singer and composer Jean-Sebastien Truchy seeking a new live ensemble to fuel his desired return to exploring the highly structured afro-kraut trance rock that was one of several stocks-in-trade during his tenure in early Constellation project and pseudo-legendary Fly Pan Am.
Avec le soleil initially formed with guitarist/engineer Sebastien Fournier and drummer Nasir Hasan; a rotating cast of additional players joined the group for live shows throughout 2012-2013, as the band gained a local reputation for irresistible and levitational live sets that combined an avant-garde/contemporary sensibility with infectiously angular, rubbery grooves.
Guitarist Eric Gingras (Pas Chic Chic) emerging as a fourth core member during this period.
Avec le soleil is by now careening towards mastery of a highly original, deeply satisfying, giddy and heady avant-funk.
Anchored by the brilliant bass and drum work of Truchy and Hasan, the group's music is woven with crisp stuttering guitar and keyboard lines and a continually shifting palette of electronic touches and interventions.
The pair of exquisite and exhilarating 20-minute pieces (sub-divided into sections for CD and digital track IDs) featured on Zubberdust! are the culmination of the group's first two years of conceptual and somatic development.
