Broken Machines
(2013, Clapping Music) France.
Second album by Reveille, I’ve been waiting for its release ! I think Reveille found its identity from that album, less in François Virot’s other musical projects vein.
Guillaume Ballandras join them on “Broken Machines” as a bassist.
There is four track from the 2011’s ep on that album with a much better sound, and a different production.
The album starts with Modern Pain and his great melodies. I think that song is cinematic.
We Came Alive‘s finale and chorus is absolutely amazing.
I love a lot Long Distance Runner with Lisa’s vocals, well-done.
My favorite song there is Swallow Everything, the bass line is a killer, the singing rocks, and the ambiences on the guitar are great.
The part at 2:18 in Horses That Never Lose is beautiful.
Here is a music video for Revenge : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVxDt0NmwBM
The artwork is amazing and it’s stunning to realize that is a painting and not a photo !
A terrific album.

Reveille Ep
(2011, D.I.Y.) France.
I bought that Ep when they played live at la Flèche d’or, Paris, the 12nd of March 2011.
You’ll find 4 of these songs in their second album.
The hypnotic rhythmic pattern in Horizon and the vocals work pretty well.
I love a lot Track 5 with just Lisa’s vocals and some guitars, bravo !
The weird ambience in Track 6 is cool.
The silk-screen print is a success.
That Ep was such a teaser for their second album !

Time And Death
(2010, Clapping Music) France.
Reveille is a french rock band with François Virot and Lisa Duroux.
If I’m correct they chose that band name in honor of Deerhoof’s album.
I bought that LP on Clapping Music’s website, it looks great.
My favorite song on that album is Mirrors : the bassline is terrific, and I love how the different instruments arrive, the harmonies, the guitar solo and that fast-tempo drum : Genius !
I like Time And Death too with Lisa singing (Great harmonies between the vocals and the guitar).
The overdubbed vocals in Little Violences is a success.
Commercial Drugs kind of sound like a Nirvana’s song.
I’m Yours sounds like a Clara Clara’s song (another project by François Virot).
Some good songs !
