"Mastic Boreal brings together four musical tales. Their textures are obscure. Their torments are alive. Their wanderings remain without maps. Their thorns hang. Their confessions deal with ear infections. Interweave interferences between music and voice. Borders are blurred. No matter the loss of reference. Let us continue to advance in this suffocating mist. Let's squeak and let's glimpse a glimpse of the black shores. The contours of the horizons are caulked with mastic. Only a few reflections will bring us northern."-Fou (via Google translate)
"FOUICK : duo born of the coagulation between a sound distiller and a film maker. Jean-Marc Foussat & Blick
Together, in the studios of Fou Records, they pace the continents of musical and narrative improvisation. A sort of renovation of the genre "musical tale".
Whilst the one plays a musical invention, the other unfolds a vortex of imprecation. Jean-Marc Foussat extract of his synthesizer, toys, calls and his voice, some musical possibilities. Protuberance of the notes, vocal scansion, incongruent interference, everything contributes to the invention of an improbable but sonorous aggregate. At the same time, Blick is inaccurate. From his breath to the microphone, he let go all the words said live of his visions. Protest, chewing, observation allow the twists and turns of stories lucubrant but audible."-Fou Records (translated by Google)
