about

Review in Vital Weekly 1379 :
Romain Perrot, you may best know from his harsh noise wall project Vomir. He has a few other projects, with outsider music projects, such as Trou Aux Rats, Roro Perrot, KILL, Free As Dead, Maginot, Meurs and others. Quentin Rollet is a saxophone player best known for his work with Nurse With Wound, but he also toots his horn with The Red Krayola, Emmanuelle Parrenin, Pointe Du Lac, Jours de Greve and so on. 'Le Vieux Fusible' is their second album, following 'L'impatience Des Invisibles' (see Vital Weekly 1229), and this new one comes with a second CD, 'The Singles', collecting two 8" lathe cut record, a 3"CD and a 23-minute live recording with Richard Frances on synthesizer. What ties this release with the Pinhas/Hummel disc is how both saxophone players approach their instruments; jazzy and free jazzy. Combined with the electronics of Perrot (who also gets credit for voice, drum machine and alto saxophone), this is quite a different release. An odd pairing doesn't describe the music. Perrot stays clear from overtly loud noise blasts but doesn't hide this background. Maybe because Rollet also plays synth, electronics, voice, and drum machine, the music on their double disc is quite varied. The saxophone is a less dominating feature than Pinhas/Hummel. When it is present, it is very clearly present, but in some of these pieces, the saxophone's role is either less or, in some ways, transformed. Perrot's approach to music remains rough, occasionally leaning towards the noise and sometimes even very loud, but generally, he keeps his stuff well under control. Sonically, this is all quite heavy music, which left me out of breath. There is also some variation to be noted, but not as much as with the other one, and it made a much more coherent album. The element of free jazz is definitely part of this album, but working with the more noisy electronic components makes a surprising album, one I enjoyed quite a bit! (FdW)

Review in Nitestyle.de :
Released via the Reqords label on March 15th, 2k23 is "Le Vieux Fusible / The Singles", the sophomore album collaboration cooked up and conceived by the ever active composer, sax player and improviser Quentin Rollet alongside probably lesser known but not less busy (anti)musical multi-activist Romain Perrot. Coming at us with a roughly 106 minutes spanning 2CD containing the eight track album "Le Vieux Fusible" as a main piece as well as a compilation bonus bundling six tracks from previous short run, limited edition underground releases plus a live recorded 20+ minutes performance featuring additional contributions by Richard Frances on synth Perrot and Rollet provide a spine-tingling approach towards total musical freedom, going from gnarly, yet surprisingly harmonic analogue Noize to retrofuturist bleeps and washed out, intrinsincly psychedelia-infused melodies to sequences of Jazz romanticisms paired with electronic interventions, bring out crackly Cold War Ambient in "Revendeur A La Soviet" before going all out Dark Synth in the spatial atmospheric Electronica minimalisms of "Le Souper Des Litieres" whilst bits like "Lightning Pylone Dislocation" hark back to ultra lo-fi Rhythm Industrial, "Brain" reveals unspoken of psychotic horrors and might not be played to infants, children and the emotionally unstable whereas "Anrchie" amalgamates subdued, yearning sax tones, freeform metallic rhythms and an ever thickening maelstrom of crackly atmospheric Noize just to name a few. This is intense.
