Perri Lynch's set can be listened to on la pointe de l'iceberg radio show, and Rinus (who invited us) wrote a nice review about our concert:
"I
had seen Cedric Anglaret in concert before, together with two of his
friends, in a grey gallery close to Pigalle in Paris. Back then they
looked like postmen solemnly at work in their office. They went through
their sounds kind of leisurely. If I had seen this concert recently I
would have had strong doubts to invite them. But there were some good
reasons to have confidence. 1. They still existed, meaning they had
grown. 2. The trio was now a quartet, meaning there had been a person
who got inspired to join them. 3.They wanted to come and perform in
Berlin, one of the global capitals for our kind of music, meaning they
had balls.
Well, to say it right away: every one out there who sets up festivals or related events should invite the molaires: they are the most hilarious group that I have seen since the Marx Brothers. Not that they are just funny, the music makes great sense, but there is a touch of electrified humor to it that only the French can produce. It is a precise combination of intellectual discourse tackled by absurd statements, of narrative recordings put side by side to sonic acrobatics. Great comics like Sarkozy can combine all of these characteristics in one facial expression. Even if they were using the laptop, the four of them were as agile and jumpy as any pop group that plays more traditional instruments. There was a constant interaction between them through eye contact. There was constant movement as they leaned over to each other to say something. Every member of the audience was doing its best not to burst out laughing aloud, (let me repeat) not because they were ridiculous, but because their way of talking and joking through their sounds was spectacularly funny. Vraiment, a must for every festival. "
