It’s recorded ” live of the Aberdeen Cultural Centre, in Moncton. Live as in “living”. Namely: glued, melted sweats. Jason LeBlanc, known as Menoncle Jason, the king of psychobilly from Memramcook, measures authenticity by proximity: like a Sam Phillips in the days of Sun records, he drowns electric guitars, brass instruments, violins and vocals in reverberation, and it comes out like who looks like an undead body not sorry to emerge. Gloriously messy. We can certainly distinguish the choirs of Matante Atou and Dorilla (Hay Babies in another life), but not without reason: the high-pitched notes pierce. Hillbilly country, garage rock, it’s as delightful as it is incomprehensible, unless you speak Chiac very fluently. “By roofing on the hang / Without swinging I don’t watch that I stamp” is a story of roof repairs and beer: you have to know it. Note that a second disc is included, to give the album a second chance of worldwide success. In his prime. Don’t miss this.
