Walkabout 03:24
Walkabout I squeezed up the last stair, to the room up in the roof casualy so casualy and lay there on the bed with my jacket off somebody get me over the summer that was the way to live, just newspaper for sheets casualy so casualy with a candle, spirit stove and the ground beneath your feet casualy so casualy what's the use of praying for the blue and grey to fade? you'll recover from this danken haze, someone will discover your bit of time somebody get me over the summer from below somewhere a town groans with traffic casualy so casualy that was the place to go as if I didn't know casualy so casualy and as you may have guessed it was death I had in mind you'll recover from this danken haze, someone will discover your bit of time you'll remember all these distant days someone will discover your bit of time casualy

La Di Da 04:40
La Di Da sometimes, good heavens don't you wish you'd been an astronaught flying and La Di Da Di Daddy ? you'd float around weightless while the rest of us, we keep our nine to five alive and still kicking you float around weightless while the rest of us, sometimes, good heavens good times don't happen your dog don't bark your savings shrink to nothing and La Di Da Di Daddy leaving behind your brother hopelessly inventing lies for no-one sometimes good heavens hope it doesn't get us not too early hope it doesn't steal you away most times, thank heavens! the jobs we work, the lives we lead they don't show us all the La Di Da Di Daddy nations of blind leading the blind occasionally it all fits together but rarely for La Di Da Di Daddy don't stop what you're doing

Beautiful Girl even though she's made of stone and always stays in the same place I couldn't face it if they took her away with a a wicked smile hangin' on her face rain or shine, she's mine I like to touch her marble skin helps me forget the state I'm in in love with a statue in a garden doctors say it can be cured friday nights, days off work, she's there she's a beautiful girl we walk about arm in arm I'm still under her charm and when we kiss together feel like a freak in an underground zoo electric storms, nations mourn she's a beautiful girl she knows what she knows what she knows

Pink Cloud Island living in bed, living in bed wasting my time just living in bed living in bed, living in bed losin my mind just living in bed I'm in a low rent waiting out the storm you're on a high die sheltered from the sun he's on a low rider waiting at the lights there's a slight relax of air and then a car crash that no-one wants to stop I'm in a pair of tight and badly fitting shoes I've always wanted things I've never got and waste away that which I have a lot but nobody loves you- when you're slack and soft nobody needs you- the clay, the chalk, the flattened grass zut alors! living in bed, living in bed wasting my time just living in bed living in bed, living in bed losing my mind so I'm living in bed and in the holidays, cheer me up don't waste me just come- I'm feeling bad holidays don't do that holidays don't do that an amoeba waiting in a pool a thousand generations to get air detritus driving on a street in fuck you cars,with barbed wire teeth monster lips, chips, hips, tits, ice cream dips living in bed, living in bed wasting my time just living in bed living in bed, living in bed wasting time

Brute Art Malcolm's in the workshop today and the squeejee green is out and poised to push the sludge through the mesh the man bluntly declaims the man quietly exclaims the man slowly admires “we can't see an erection and we must see an erection” oh look! Malcolm's on the radio today he's spouting like a teapot on four he nicked a phrase I use I suppose it must be praise the man quietly squawks the man viciously cries the man slowly admires “we can't see the connection and we must see a connection 'cause we're making art making art making art and that my friend... makes it art oh look! Malcolm's in the workshop again he's counting up his wares, he'll fold and pleat the vintage sheet, sorting into best and bad, light and dark, for Colette! the man suddenly stops the man peacefully thinks the man slowly admires “we must sell the collection and they've got to buy the collection” 'cause we're making art making art making art and that makes it art

The Darkness 03:36
The Darkness well there's sixteen deaths on the road to get out of my brain and one stupid kid stuck in cement for a whole week and don't look so surprised when seeing through these bleak black eyes if you want so kind of a friend for a shoulder you should back with Tony Blair he's a nice chap I'm very much obliged cause I'm looking through deep dark eyes and only see the Darkness! Darkness! Darkness! round the edge of my heart there's been another shooting, turn on the news, I'm right next to you stop and think so take me up to your room at your peril they marched off into the gloom to the sound of big engines don't look so surprised 'cause I'm looking through some deep dark eyes I can only see the Darkness! Darkness! Darkness! round the edge of my heart

Omnivore 03:38
Omnivore grim shades in the morning stew- leatherbound they have no state and no hinterland to hide behind, perfect towers got some great sounds I've never been back there but I'm told it's still a floating city, engulfed in machines these havens for the west I hear some great sounds I've never been back there but I'm told it's still just thousands of cars, covered in dust for the lame and the healthy never to find but I'm never going back there because it's dead, over, finished since I don't know when they have no state to hide behind these havens for the west grim shades in the morning stew

Lion's Share 05:18
Lion's Share table manners hardly count when spiteful laws unlock the doors so take a leaf and plant some hate you wont regret what you misplaced your range and grasp of naked facts could line you up for certain tasks don't waste your time with qualifications they only tend to cramp your style all the world's unaware not a care in a day nobody's looking so take the lion's share the face of love has pale blue eyes no camouflage and tell-tale scum watch out! you may not notice but they make it feel like a sense of within all the world's unaware not a care in a day nobody's looking so take the lion's share table manners hardly count when spiteful laws unlock the doors so take a leaf and plant some hate you wont regret what you've misplaced so take the lion's share and even when your crimes are paid your sculpted face is grey and flat they won't forget a single act how childish of their tiny hands

Maximum Escape Velocity he went outside with a common inside came outside with his eyes too wide sleeps on the tide if it's not too high looked up at the sky when the spit let fly then you told me all about his maximum escape velocity slit your wrists in the middle of a field let all the blood run down the stream it's kind of sane if you look at the stakes engraved his name all over the tapes then you told me all about his maximum escape velocity friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your tears sitting on the cold ground lying on the cold ground look at us all we came to his call sitting on the cold ground

about

Brute Art est le deuxième album d'InRed, et son titre nous renseigne bien : après Just About Anything is Possible, un premier opus virtuose et polymorphe, le groupe resserre le propos avec des chansons plus directes, plus rock, sans pour autant se départir de son élégance.
On imagine ainsi Bowie accompagné du Clash ou des Ramones ("Walkabout", "Pink Cloud Island"). Parfois on pense entendre des réminiscences Brit-pop de Blur ou Pulp ("Beautiful Girl", "The Darkness"), à moins que ce ne soit la gouaille londonienne de Pat Griffiths, et ce talent très anglais pour ciseler des chansons à la fois pop et surprenantes ("Omnivore", "Lion's Share").
Brute Art est un album où prend forme une synthèse hors norme : à la fois rock et éclectique, low-fi et sophistiqué.
Depuis 2013, InRed donne vie à son alchimie sonore sur scène, au cours de nombreux concerts où Pat Griffiths s'appuie sur un groupe qui maîtrise un art tout en assurance et souplesse : François Accart (batterie) et Guillaume Tirard (basse) installent une rythmique multicolore et solide, sur laquelle Stéphane Meunier (guitare) pose des riffs légèrement saturés ou développe de subtiles envolées, le tout illuminé des interventions d'Anne Lisbet Tollånes (claviers).
L'album physique est accompagné d'un poster conçu par Romain Rachlin, le graphiste fétiche du groupe, et il est sérigraphié dans les règles de l'art par Pat Griffiths. Ce matériel est glissé dans une pochette surprise ; un concept revendiqué et en écho avec la chanson titre, Brute Art, qui raconte la rencontre du chanteur d'InRed avec Malcolm McLaren lors d'une initiation haute en couleur de l'iconique démiurge punk à ce "Brute Art" qu'est la sérigraphie !
Avec Brute Art vous serez surpris en terrain connu, ou sereins sur des terres inconnues. Tentés par un voyage ?
