It was in 2012. Lescop made an impression with his brilliant song The forest, taken from a first album which restored the nobility of French cold wave/new wave music (let’s say it, dormant for more than two decades…), and now we were comparing him to the greatest – Étienne Daho, Indochina, etc. Today, and after a few wanderings, the artist is back with a record where we find the identity of his cold synths and his imposing bass mixed with poetic and frank writing, above all transfixed with melancholy. Dream gone is thus a succession of small pleasures and sweet torments of sound. We like, for example, to indulge in Lescop’s odes intended for girls (She) and to the boys (“They want to ignore the tears we see in their big eyes […] They are grieving beasts when they fall in love”, magnificent The boys !) or see the desire to dance take us with Exotica. Special mention also to his three collaborations (Izia, Halo Maud and Laura Cahen) which punctuate the record.
