All is so good Everything’s fine All is so good Everything’s fine there might be a thing time to spread the word tired of all the game telling us to feel ashamed while the sea is too deep for your both too little feet reach for the shore as quickly as you can swim telling me to be loving the game but you cannot control a thing and we still go through the mill wouhou houhou All is so good Everything’s fine All is so good Everything’s fine try to keep the faith in you try to stay awake stop thinking there’s nobody with you you got to be aware but if you take a while on this rub a dub style helping you to think better and more by the time you land on the floor keep telling me that it is so good so far but you cannot control a thing while we still go through the mill wouhou houhou

stuck in the same old thing ready to break the wall I’m telling you we’re stuck in the same old deal ready to break the wall stuck in the same old thing ready to break the wall I’m telling you we’re stuck in the same old deal ready to break the wall solidarity has become a vain word surely you must have heard it turned into charity my brothers divided like in a well-stocked cattle pen killing each other, misguided hiding in the den solidarity and unity is strength so now let’s be weary for majority the wealth it’s such an awful deal working for just a few as we serve them the meal we have to find a breakthrough stuck in the same old thing ready to break the wall I’m telling you we’re stuck in the same old deal ready to break the wall

about

Emergence émergence ! Non, Zenzile n’a pas une gueule d’émergence. A une époque où il faudrait se précipiter sur le EP du moindre nouvel artiste porté par un buzz éphémère, le quintet angevin propose quelque chose de bien plus précieux : une carrière. Vingt ans et des poussières au service d’une musique parmi les plus personnelles qui soient, matérialisés par onze albums (plus quelques hors séries) à la tenue exemplaire. Un parcours sans fausse note au cours duquel le groupe, instrumental, a sollicité pas mal de chanteurs (Jamika, Tricky, Sir Jean, David K. Alderman, Paul St Hilaire, Jay Ree, Winston McAnuff, Zakia Gallard) et un violoncelliste virtuose (Vincent Segal), pour le meilleur.
A l’origine de Zenzile était le dub, cette version instrumentale du reggae, invention de sorciers jamaïcains du son, truffée d’écho, de delay et de reverb. En compagnie de quelques autres (Improvisators Dub, High Tone, Brain Damage…), Zenzile en a creusé les fondations en France, avec singularité. Son dub à lui, ample et cinématographique, ne sonne pas comme celui des Anglais ou des rastas caribéens. Et le groupe, tous ses sens en éveil, va le faire évoluer encore et encore en allant fricoter du côté du rock (progressif ou pas), de l’électro, de la new wave, du funk-punk ou du krautrock. Jusqu’à le faire disparaître presque totalement sur son dernier album Elements (2017). Un disque qu’on pourrait voir aujourd’hui comme l’étape finale d’une longue et enrichissante exploration musicale, avant retour aux fondamentaux.

Car à trop s’en éloigner, le dub a fini par manquer à Zenzile, comme Zenzile a manqué au dub. A l’heure où les sound systems fleurissent partout en France, où de jeunes pousses triturent à tout va le dub digital, les pionniers angevins, plus unis que jamais, ont décidé de reprendre la main, histoire de rappeler qui sont les patrons de cette scène. « Nous voulons replonger dans un dub décomplexé, frais et dansant. Un dub pur et dur à la Zenzile. Et fédérer un maximum de gens autour ! » 2018 marquera donc pour le quintet un retour vers le futur, avec, dès janvier, la sortie d’un nouveau titre par mois, des riddims inédits en pagaille et un slogan on ne peut plus clair : DUB UNLIMITED.

Zenzile Angers, France

Emergence, emergence! No Zenzile does not have an emergence vibe. At a time when it would rush to the EP of any new artist carried by an ephemeral buzz, quintet Angevin (french city) offers something much more valuable: a career. Twenty years and dust in the service of a personal music, materialized by ten albums (plus some out of series) with the exemplary behavior. ... more
