Julien Gasc (Toulouse) Chanson, French Pop Over the past fifteen years, in addition to his solo career, Julien Gasc made brief stints in Stereolab and Hyperclean. Most notably, Gasc was a core member of Aquaserge, a French outfit that walks a fine line between crunchy grooves and avant tangents. On his own, Gasc slowly approaches his own style of tight and streamlined songwriting, creating classic pop songs. Following his second outing ’Kiss Me, You Fool!’, a groove-laden record with beautiful psychedelic moments, Gasc’s third album ‘L’Appel De La Forêt’ granted more of an open space to nuanced melodic turns. On ‘Re Eff’, he drifts even further from Aquaserge’s sound, embracing an intimate, chanson feeling. He returns to the low-key affair in 2024 with ‘Grand jardin.’ Composing the disc’s nine themes on the piano over the course of a weekend, the casual 17-minute escapade bleeds like what it is—a dusky summer respite. – Aquarium Drunkard
