New project for Renaud Druel, accompanied on this Nouvelle Scène by Quentin Gendrot on the cello. Passionate about music for a long time, Renaud started in a rock band before embarking on the adventure “Coffees and Cigarettes” almost 10 years ago. Being passionate about cinema, this name pays homage to the black and white feature film by Jim Jarmusch. Since 2013, the project has evolved: In 2013, Renaud released the first, with an from the time of Jack the Ripper, which is called “London Western”. With each album, Renaud proposes a concept.
And 3! The new album “RollerCoaster” is out
In this “Rollercoaster” album, the Poitevin artist opens up a little more and does not hide behind characters. This time, the characters symbolize subjects such as illness, the fear of writing… Heavy, touching subjects, but never pathos, such as the Tim Burton effect where the kingdom of the dead is happier than the world of the living. Recorded during confinement, Renaud Druel took the time to work on the arrangements, to work as a team with Quentin Gendrot. (Not to mention video game games and film sessions, because cinema and games remain universes that are never very far from Coffees and Cigarettes.)
RollerCoaster pays tribute to my whole life, in this album, I say “I”
Coffees and cigarettes, it is a universe as much to look at as to listen to. Do not hesitate to go see him in concert! You will discover video protections of cartoons with the lyrics of the songs: a real show, a film-concert!
