MP3DB.pro - Raoul Sinier - Tremens Industry (2009)

Raoul Sinier's fourth full length album sees this Paris-based
multi-talented artist repeat the tour de force that was his
2007's "Wxfdswxc2": the thirteen tracks of "Tremens Industry"
come packaged together with more than two hours of videos and
documentaries. Not only a logical continuation of his
discography or an accurate way to get acquainted to his art,
"Tremens Industry" is Raoul Sinier's definitive and most
important release to date. (Get this on CD & DVD / as mp3).
While Raoul Sinier's gritty but playful, na∩ve but complex sound
has become a trademark of his music, "Tremens Industry" is an
album in which he re-invents himself anew as a musician.
Following the hip hop beats of "Wxfdswxc2" and the complex,
intense "Brain Kitchen", "Tremens Industry" is Raoul Sinier's
most accessible album to date. He now writes real songs ("The
Hole", "List Of Things", Elle A Raison", "Boxes"), combining
vocals with a more focused use of his incredible self-made
guitar (whose birth is documented on the DVD). Walking a thin
line between the electronic innocence and broken charm of his
instrumental material (such as the title track or "Overthoughts
Reprise") on the one side and the deep soul of his songs on the
other, this new Raoul Sinier offers with "Tremens Industry" his
coming-of-age release, in which his maturity rivals with the
surprising coherence of the whole album.
And of course, it would be unfair to mention this artist without
spending some time on his visual work. An insolently talented
painter, sculptor and designer, Raoul Sinier has been praised
far outside of the music world, and has presented his creations
in multimedia exhibits, galleries and magazines. Taking things
where they had been left with his previous DVD, this one
features 16 videos (some cartoons, some 3D animation, and some
shot in "real life"), together with documentations about his
work process. Impressive and obviously far superior to most
music videos out there, this DVD is to be seen as on an equal
level as "Tremens Industry"'s audio part.
Ad Noiseam is very happy to be able to present in one package
both of Raoul Sinier's artistic sides: the carefully laid out
music and the stunning video creations. Not only a logical
continuation of his discography or an accurate way to get
acquainted to his art, "Tremens Industry" is Raoul Sinier's
definitive and most important release to date.
