Bastien Lallemant
Album: The laziness
La Paresse, Bastien Lallemant’s sixth album, brings together ten new songs. Bastien sets out to tell the story of a couple through stories in the form of short scenarios. There is cinema in La Paresse, camera movements, settings, and at the heart of these stories, a man and a woman as if at different moments in their love life. The songs do not follow a single narrative, rather they are a patchwork of stories borrowed from distinct films. An illegitimate couple plays hide and seek with the sun in The Sun After All. A man calls for fire, rain and tears in Sans vague. A woman is betrayed in Young. We invoke the eternal love of the lovers of Pompeii. Then we lay down lasciviously in the grass and have fun singing the very new wave song La Paresse. The album is designed as a timeless, deeply intimate journey, to the heart of feelings, to the heart of this couple played by Elisabeth Spettro and Bastien Lallemant. He was inspired by episodes that she told him, she agreed to sing alongside him. We won’t know much about Elisabeth, she doesn’t want to. We will invent.
