Forts de deux EPs et de l'album ‘Superior State’ sorti fin 2018, les RENDEZ VOUS ont écumé les routes d’Europe jusqu’à remplir une Gaîté Lyrique puis une Cigale. Et après un silence nécessaire de presque trois ans, les Parisiens sont de retour sur scène avec plusieurs dates en France et à l’étranger, ainsi qu'un nouvel album en préparation...
SUPERIOR STATE a été produit par le groupe lui-même, mixé dans une ancienne église de Leeds réaménagée en studio par Matt Peel (Eagulls, Bad Breeding), tenancier d’un rock anglais rugueux et indiscipliné, et masterisé à New York par Sarah Register (Depeche Mode, Lou Reed, Protomartyr).
Sur cet album Francis Mallari, Elliot Berthault, Maxime Gendre et Simon Dubourg prouvent qu’ils ne sont pas du genre à écouter les modes et les convenances, aussi fragiles qu’éphémères. Ils ont toujours tracé leur route, sans regarder derrière, sans s’encombrer d’étiquettes ou de codes, puisant dans un éventail d’influences à 360°. Ce qui donne un disque hors du temps et du bruit et prouve que le groupe n’en fait qu’à sa tête, souhaite aussi bien bâtir des édifices que les détruire dans le même geste, juste pour garder une liberté de mouvements. Burineur sans être bourrin, bruitiste sans être illisible, Superior State brouille les pistes formelles en faisant feu de tout bois : post punk, musique industrielle, shoegaze, neo-folk, clins d’œil au black metal, tous passent à la broyeuse d’un groupe qui ne trouve sa pleine essence que dans le lâcher prise.
Plus de respiration, moins de tics 80’, Rendez Vous a rogné sur le synthétique et les boites à rythme en enregistrant une vraie batterie et en s’appuyant sur une production et des rythmes hybrides.
Le but n’est pas juste de semer le trouble, mais de marquer le pas, trouver un rythme qui lui est propre et préserver une indépendance vitale : le groupe créera même le label Artefact (ATF) pour sortir son disque.
