Rock is dead, barks the pack. Never mind, Caravane comes back. Flattens the mutts, overcomes the bumps, does its best, takes on the chaos. “Me, I’m looking for trouble,” shouts singer Dominic Pelletier. Beautiful program: “Juggle with the embers / Crunch the forbidden fruit / Take the demon by the horns / Look my heart in the face”. Feeling alive, that is. Or rather, relive: after five years, a pandemic, an album thrown in the trash, a change of guitarist, Caravane extricated itself from the quicksand, got back on the road, amps “crushed”, rock attitude to the max. Album IV, in Roman numerals like Led Zep. No question of reinventing the wheel, nothing other than the desire to drive at full speed. “In the rearview mirror, nothing but ghosts remain,” notes the driver of the vehicle. Who likes to look straight ahead so much? Hire a rapper, Hey, Webster, are you coming? There is room. And hip guitars. And riffs as much as it takes to stop getting bogged down.
