Appalache

It’s always complicate to write a promotional text, especially for artists like Appalache who’s celebrating his ninth releases and fifth album with Sea Gate. Half of the reviewers will copy or take most of their inspiration from this little paragraph, so it’s very important to be accurate and to tell you that this new album is the best thing Julien Magot has recorded, full of hits and ear-worm songs. The ten singles that compose Sea Gate sounds like the natural following of his other 2016 full-length Tiny Love Billionaire except that this time he plays all the instruments. Maybe it’s his recent tour in US that gave him this confiance, but Sea Gate is an insolent success and shameless ode to pop rock. If there’s Paris in Texas, there’s now Austin in Ile-de-France.
