Avis\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Il y a des destins incroyables qui \u00e9chappent tout bonnement \u00e0 la culture de masse, surtout si on ne s\u2019y int\u00e9resse pas un tant soit peu. Prenons par exemple J Mascis<\/strong>, guitariste de renom aux States (il fut nomm\u00e9 86\u00e8me<\/sup> meilleur guitariste du monde par Rolling Stones, ce qui n\u2019est pas rien) et qui connait un anonymat intol\u00e9rable en France. C\u2019est en 1982 qu\u2019il se lance dans la musique en tant que batteur et incorpore un groupe de Hardcore qui ne durera pas tr\u00e8s longtemps. C\u2019est alors qu\u2019il est embauch\u00e9 par le groupe Dinosaur Jr.<\/strong>, un groupe de rock alternatif qui conna\u00eetra un gros succ\u00e8s aux Etats-Unis dans les ann\u00e9es 90. Un succ\u00e8s tel que m\u00eame Kurt Cobain<\/em> lui proposa de rejoindre Nirvana<\/strong>. Mais le musicien, qui a alors d\u00e9laiss\u00e9 la batterie pour la guitare (il y en a qui ont des pr\u00e9dispositions pour la musique), d\u00e9cide de faire un projet solo \u00e0 l\u2019aube des ann\u00e9es 2000. Mais entre des maisons de disques qui ferment boutique et des projets qui n\u2019aboutissent pas, le guitariste a du mal \u00e0 sortir ses albums solo, tant et si bien que Tied to a Star<\/strong>, sorti alors en 2014, n\u2019est que son second album personnel. Une position un peu d\u00e9licate et totalement injuste, surtout quand on entend le talent du bonhomme.<\/p>\n

Et \u00e7a tombe bien, parce que l\u2019on va s\u2019int\u00e9resser \u00e0 cet album \u00e0 la fois \u00e9trange, subtil et parfois redondant. Le skeud commence par Me Again<\/em>, un morceau relativement int\u00e9ressant et qui pose les bases d\u2019un style plut\u00f4t \u00e9trange entre le rock et la pop, tout en y apportant une touche d\u2019alternatif. Le musicien voguant entre Doom M\u00e9tal et Rock prog, il n\u2019est pas \u00e9tonnant que cet album soit \u00e0 l\u2019image de son cr\u00e9ateur, \u00e9clectique. Du coup, ce premier morceau d\u00e9marre de fa\u00e7on assez calme, presque comme une ballade folk et propose une voix de t\u00eate assez surprenante. Le titre est pos\u00e9, il n\u2019y a pas de fausse note, cela ressemble \u00e0 du Neil Young<\/strong> ou du Bob Dylan<\/strong>, \u00e7a reste tr\u00e8s classique, mais c\u2019est efficace bien qu\u2019un brin mou. Fort heureusement, Every Morning<\/em> est l\u00e0 pour r\u00e9veiller l\u2019affaire et emballer tout le monde. Si les riffs ressemblent \u00e0 s\u2019y m\u00e9prendre \u00e0 un certain Eagle Eye Cherry<\/strong>, le titre fonctionne \u00e0 merveille, notamment gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sence d\u2019une guitare \u00e9lectrique qui permet de rajouter du peps dans l\u2019ensemble. Heal the Star<\/em>, tout \u00e0 la guitare s\u00e8che, continue sur cette lanc\u00e9e \u00e9nergique, m\u00eame si l\u2019ambiance est un peu plus sombre. On ne pourra s\u2019emp\u00eacher d\u2019appr\u00e9cier la fin du morceau, un solo dantesque de gratte du plus bel effet. Bref, jusqu\u2019ici, tout va bien et on tombe sur une bonne surprise, le genre d\u2019album sans pr\u00e9tention qui fait son office et qui montre \u00e0 quel point la culture fran\u00e7aise est \u00e0 la ramasse sur ses choix de distribution et de publicit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\"121004-mascis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cependant, tout n\u2019est pas parfait dans cet album, loin de l\u00e0. Non pas que ce soit une descente en enfer, mais on sent tout de m\u00eame que J Mascis<\/strong> se repose sur ses acquis et fournit le minimum syndical sur certains titres dont la m\u00e9lodie, si ma\u00eetris\u00e9e soit elle, demeure facile et d\u00e9j\u00e0 entendue. En fait, quand on \u00e9coute Wide Awake<\/em>, Stumble<\/em> ou encore Drifter<\/em>, on a l\u2019impression d\u2019entendre quasiment le m\u00eame titre tout le temps, avec de simples variations d\u2019accords sans pour autant apporter des variations de rythme. Et c\u2019est peut-\u00eatre l\u00e0 le plus gros probl\u00e8me de cet album, c\u2019est qu\u2019il reste sur une m\u00eame ligne rythmique et que parfois, l\u2019ensemble devient un poil trop redondant. Better Plane<\/em> est l\u00e0 pour le prouver tant le titre qui cl\u00f4ture l\u2019album demeure sympathique mais d\u00e9j\u00e0 entendu mille fois par les groupes folk. La seule diff\u00e9rence provient de la voix de t\u00eate du chanteur, qui arrive \u00e0 monter ver les aigus sans trop probl\u00e8me, donnant une identit\u00e9 particuli\u00e8re aux titres. N\u00e9anmoins, quand on \u00e9coute le ton grave de sa voix et ce qu\u2019il est capable de faire \u00e0 la gratte, on ne peut que penser \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de quoi on est pass\u00e9 si le chanteur avait fourni un effort plus cons\u00e9quent dans son \u00e9nergie. Car l\u00e0, clairement, on est face \u00e0 quelque chose d\u2019assez mou, de joli certes, mais qui manque de panache et d\u2019envol\u00e9e \u00e9nergique.<\/p>\n

Au final, Tied to a Star<\/strong>, le second album solo de J Mascis<\/strong>, est un skeud plut\u00f4t int\u00e9ressant et de tr\u00e8s bonne facture, mais auquel il manque quelques petites choses. Entre \u00e9motion et moments techniques assez incroyables, il aurait fallu que le chanteur\/guitariste\/batteur change un peu plus de registre et fournisse plus d\u2019\u00e9nergie au sein d\u2019un album assez r\u00e9ussi mais qui p\u00eache par sa redondance rythmique.<\/p>\n
