dEUS - Following the sea

The tune for today is: 

dEUS - Quatre Mains 

Entretemps on se lance dans la gloire
Miami de lumière
dépourvue de bruit
ça me choque chaque fois comment on accepte des statu[s] quo
le fauteuil qui nous regarde sans soul
comme un mouton qui bâille nous accueille dans son univers zen
je me poursuis moi-même
mes propres coutumes ayant ennuyé le diable
et la vitesse d'une pensée glauque
s'installe dans ta motricité
je te regarde
tu attends

j'aurais bien voulu être le mec qui observe sans gêne ce théâtre
mais des siècles d'impatience me poussent vers l'aube
toujours le même commencement
les circuits électriques qu'on n'oublie guère de déclencher
quand on se lance dedans
le cœur nu
et ça épate

mais je ne te chercherai pas quand ça éclate
c'est presque le contraire de nulle part
et pourtant
c'est l'équivalent de rien
des conséquences inédites se mêlent avec des clichés
qu' il y a une distance à l[é]ver/rêver(?) entre la peau et l'éternité
un mélanome tatoué
qu'est-ce que tu penses
étrange vie coincée entre la guerre et la paix
les idées reçues qui sonnent mieux en stéréo
et la cascade qui coule en horizontale
dérivent en eau fatale / derrière ton dos fatal ( ?)
la discrétion natale comme un fait bancal
et le cœur qui bat
comme un quatre mains on joue le refrain il n'y a pas d'embarras
tu m' envoûteras / m'en voudras pas ( ?)
et c'est quoi là-bas
c'est le quatre mains qui se joue en vain entre toi et moi
c'est le cœur qui bat
c'est comme le jazz bien répété
plein d'impulses épuré/ libéré ( ?) de codes
je te regarde
tu attends

le rythme des réflexes
contretemps /quatre temps ( ?)
et le cœur qui bat
comme un quatre mains on joue le refrain il n'y a pas d'embarras
tu m' envoûteras / m'en voudras pas ( ?)
c'est quoi là-bas
c'est le quatre mains qui se joue en vain entre toi et moi
c'est le cœur qui bat
l' ancienn[i]té des sentiments
on s'en fout

comme tous les marins inventent / quand on la réinvente ( ?)
à chaque reprise comme une batterie inépuisable
à la fois écologique et sordide
c'est le recyclage d' amour
bref et intense
je te regarde
qu'est-ce que tu attends
ok, go
et le cœur qui bat

comme un quatre mains on joue le refrain il n'y a pas d'embarras
tu m' envoûteras / m'en voudras pas ( ?)
c'est quoi là-bas
c'est le quatre mains qui se joue en vain entre toi et moi
c'est le cœur qui bat

Review by Jon O'Brien (allmusic)

Announced and released on the same day, Following Sea is the rather unexpected seventh studio album from Belgian experimental art rock quintet dEUS. Arriving just nine months after 2011's Keep You Close, the closely guarded secret was recorded on tour with producer Adam Noble and features songs that tackle the subjects of soldiers' post-traumatic stress ("Hidden Wounds") and the Costa Concordia tragedy ("The Give Up Gene") alongside their first ever French-sung track ("Quatre Mains").

dEUS - Worst Case Scenario

The Tune for today is:

dEUS - Mute

I, I knew a girl and she was a joker
Her hair was nicotine-brown
and eyes of a joker

Her grass has a pale ginger green
Whatever that means

Together we
saw they were building a building
Alone I see
the building is there

Her grass has a pale ginger green
Whatever that means

Your mind goes (x3)
This has nothing to do with you
It's just the way that I turn mute

Your mind goes (x3)
Cause this has nothing to do with you
It's just the way that I turn mute

You see I
I knew this girl and she was a joker
And if she was so big
I guess I would smoke her

Her grass has a pale ginger green
She knows what it means

Your mind goes (x3)
Well this has nothing to do with you
It's just the way that I turn mute

Your mind goes (x3)
And this has nothing to do with you

I'm calling it off
I'm taking it low
I'm staying ahead of our soul (x4)

Your mind goes (x3)

Crawl so damn low

I'm calling it off - Your mind goes
I'm taking it low - Your mind goes
I'm staying ahead of our soul - Your mind goes

Review by: Ned Raggett (allmusic)

About the only thing wrong with dEUS' full-length debut is that the band put its best foot forward right at the start with the great "Suds & Soda." A tense, energetic rip with Klaas Janzoons' violin the final touch that sends everything over the top, it has all the wired energy of early-'90s rock, but with its own arty edge. The only thing quite like it might have been PJ Harvey's early efforts, but with more feedback throughout the mix and a fine organ break. From that great start, the five-piece spent its time exploring its own interesting rock zone, referencing back to classic rock influences and jazz pioneers as much as any of its many frazzled contemporaries. It's a bit facile to say that if Tom Waits were a young guy in 1992 he might have formed this band, but there's something agreeably impassioned and rough aboutWorst Case Scenario which calls to mind Waits' own avant- garage jazz efforts in the mid-'80s. Having songs that sample Frank Zappa ("Little Umbrellas," surfacing in the slow burn of the title track) and Don Cherry gives an idea of both the members' backgrounds, and the desire to see what to do with them rather than simply be reverential. Tom Barman's singing hits both loud, full-bodied shrieks, and low-and-slow as needed, while the band in general strike a great balance between straight-ahead performance and subtle studio trickery, especially courtesy of percussionist Julle De Borgher, playing everything from drums to "gas heating." When the quintet turns in a sassy, snarling performance, as on "Morticiachair," it's not too hard to see them as European cousins of Girls Against Boys or even Rocket From the Crypt. Alternately, for songs like the "Right as Rain," dEUS become the best late-night, last-drink band out there, while the building crunch of "Hotellounge" finds them able to combine the two extremes just so.
