That Summer @ Centre Culturel Suisse, PARIS (75)

Description

THAT SUMMER is David Sanson's project (musical editor of the French monthly magazine MOUVEMENT - www.mouvement.net), and "Clear" is his third album, a dozen pastoral and urban pop-songs, melodic and melancholic, stripped down and subtle, influenced by artists such as Brian Eno and David Sylvian, as well as Hood and Depeche Mode.

Raised in Chateauroux in France, David Sanson attended the academy of music for ten years, and was brought up with the classical music and jazz of his parents, as well as becoming interested in cold wave and "industrial" tones. Tony Wakeford (Death Of June, Sol Invictus) listened to one of his first demos and encouraged him to continue and finally produced his first full-length in 1993 ("Drowsiness Of Ancient Gardens"): a week's work with a digital 8-track, the results were intimate and mostly piano / cello compositions.

On his second album "Home is Where The Studio Is" (recorded in Berlin with Bernd Jestram / Tarwater during the summer of 2001) David Sanson tried to conciliate parallel worlds and atmospheres, analogical sounds versus acoustic instruments, silence versus singing, and discord versus melodies.... often compared to Robert Wyatt or Tuxedomoon, "Home Is Where The Studio Is" was critically acclaimed in France where Les Inrockuptibles described it as "a false Parisian band with a vertiginous culture".
