SINGLE REVIEW: SISYPHES “AU CARREFOUR”
Inspired by an introspective moment walking alongside the still landscape of oceans and mountains in a freezing winter sunset, “Au Carrefour” has captured the luminous moment of stillness. Cold and calming, the aura of sunset permeates the sonics.
The pulsing drumbeat sits at the crossroad of world percussion and electronic, bringing an elegant, quirky charisma into the mix. A touch of jazz has reminiscent energy in its vocabulary. The unpredictable future remains unknown. There’s a sense of uncertainty and melancholy in its undertone.
The flowing guitar line constantly on the move without the need for destination reflects on the motion within stillness, linking dots together. The standpoint of the present sits at the crossover of the past and the future. Memories, influences, and experiences brewing in the air, becoming the sound of “Au Carrefour.”
Sisyphes is the emerging solo project by former La Houle guitarist and songwriter Geoffrey Papin that aims to create a unique, avantpop texture bringing in various influences. Building from scratch, perfecting each and every detail in its production, the artist is the sole designer of “Au Carrefour.”
