about

Toucan plays a progressive & adventurous rock, filled with an amazing range of eighties references. Inspired by bands like Zombi or Maserati, their debut album entitled “De Nuit” presents six instrumental takes recorded last year by Luc Ferré (Plebeian Grandstand, Jean Jean, Sed Non Satiata…). Resulting from hours of jam, each track has its own character, and each comes as a pleasant surprise; alternating between syncopated runs (“Autopista”, “Cascade Lumière”), mid-tempo march (“Neo Soul”) or dreamy breaks (“Traum”). If there’s a lot of contrast, the band-decorum is strong enough to keep everything together. Spanning from the appearance of the saxophone, Carpenter-like bass lines or heavy guitar solo, Toucan revisits an amazing range of the eighties hooks, transforming kitch into a rainbow of nostalgia.<br>The CD edition countains five bonus remixed tracks (by MAJEURE, EXTREME PRECAUTIONS, ETC.).

Voici le premier Ep six titres de TOUCAN, nouvelle formation toulousaine composée de membres issus de la scène hardcore et metal locale (SELENITES, DRAWERS, MONTREAL ON FIRE). Mais ce nouveau projet explore des horizons musicaux plus variés et légers en procréant un postrock instrumental et progressif à grands renforts de claviers et de rythmes syncopés. Naviguant dans les eaux luxuriantes et nostalgiques de la fin des années 80 et du début des années 90, leur musique se rapproche des ambiances développées chez MASERATI, TRANS AM ou encore ZOMBI avec des touches plus incisives et épiques dans les compositions grâce à l'aide bienvenue de solos de guitares ou de saxophones qui rappellent des influences bien plus légères et lointaines comme PHIL COLLINS, DIRE STRAITS, MR MISTER, MODERN TALKING, etc. Et l'on se dit que finalement l'un des titres de TOUCAN aurait pu se retrouver par rétroaction sur la BO de la plus grande série de tous les temps : MIAMI VICE. La version CD est agrémentée de cinq titres remixés (par MAJEURE, EXTREME PRECAUTIONS, ETC).
