Take a look under your bed...the mouse living there could have died. Oh God! (Maybe you don't know but everybody have a mouse living under the bed). Action Dead Mouse is what you are going to do once you have found the dead mouse. About "Pets and Nerds attack Planet Earth" Magic Box – 9/10 " « A quoi reconnaît-on un grand album de post-rock ? Au fait que le concept ne prenne pas le pas sur la musique. Avec Action Dead Mouse, en dépit d’un titre d’album en forme de films de SF Série Z, on pouvait craindre le fumeux : le nom choisi par le groupe italien est tiré sur d’une performance de Joseph Beuys qui met en scène la mort et la renaissance de l’Art. Idée intéressante qui voit l’art comme un bâton de relais transmis dans un cycle perpétuel d’extinsion et de résurrection. A l’écoute de ce premier album, on oublie rapidement la philosophie pour jouir pleinement de la musique ; on se dit néanmoins que chaque membre du groupe a dû avoir une vie musicale bien remplie avant ADM pour parvenir aujourd’hui à un résultat aussi équilibré et maîtrisé. Avec eux, on retrouve tout ce qui nous a plu depuis une 20 ans dans le rock indé US : les ambiances Slint, le son de Shellac, le lyrisme retenu d'Appleseed cast (Antistress, mia dolce Bess), les voix crues, rares mais déchirantes. Le groupe ne tombe jamais dans la sécheresse du math-rock (même si rythmiquement, le niveau est élevé), le bruitisme extrême (ce qui n’exclut pas d’avoir du tempérament) et plus généralement dans l’ésotérique, l’obtu ou le tarabiscoté pour le tarabiscoté. Dans un sens, Pets and Nerds attack planet earth est un album fédérateur comme pouvait l’être Explosions in the sky de the earth is not a cold place. Le post-rock peut être une nouvelle forme de musique pop, avec des passages accidentés mais aussi des clairières belles et sereines. Il y a même un hymne enchanteur, Edgar, qui pourrait faire le bonheur des radios, si celles-ci étaient un peu plus ouvertes (et admettant un morceau de 6’ largement instrumental…autant dire que la cause est perdue). ADM, depuis sa création à Bologne en 2005, ne s’est octroyé qu’une seule coquetterie : celle d’avoir en son sein une viole. Les Italiens ne donnent pas dans le baroque fruste de Monsieur de St Colombe mais l’instrument module, affine, ajoute sa mélancolie naturelle au triumvirat guitare/basse/batterie. Ils pourraient faire sans (leur musique est naturellement classe) mais c’est mieux avec. L’album a été enregistré en 3 jours en prises directes dans les souterrains d’un immeuble à la périphérie de Bologne où le groupe avait depuis longtemps élu domicile. A vivre reclus sous des tonnes de bétons, on doit sans doute rêver de ciel bleu et d’air frais. Le plus sûr moyen pour faire jaillir la lumière est de sans priver. Une petite pensée pour les habitants de cette cité qui ne sauront probablement jamais que sous leurs pieds, à l’abri des regards, est née cette petite perle ». Denis Z. Kronic. Gruppo eclettico, capace di sviluppare un suono originale e avvolgente, gli italiani Action Dead Mouse sono una tra le band più convincenti della nuova ondata indie-rock. E’un peccato che l’ennesima buona idea di casa nostra sia costretta ad emigrare per trovare sviluppi, è stata infatti un’etichetta francese – la lungimirante Greed Recordings – a dare la giusta opportunità a questa band. Perché, anche se sono al loro album di debutto - dopo un percorso formativo durato circa due anni e mezzo -, i ragazzi di Bologna dimostrano piena padronanza della materia sonora, riuscendo a sviluppare un’ora d’ascolto piacevole, caratterizzata dalla manipolazione tutt’altro che scontata degli spazi e dei pattern ritmici che affrontano con destrezza e inventiva. Otto brani, quasi del tutto strumentali (non ci sono testi, ma solo la voce di Filippo Dionisi che sporadicamente interviene), costituiscono l’essenza di quest’album che, fin dall’open track “Wegmann” - una mini suite stratificata e ben organizzata -, coinvolge, spiazza, elettrizza. Chiave decisiva per la buona riuscita del disco è la mancanza quasi assoluta di riferimenti stabili; gli strumenti del quartetto (basso, chitarra, batteria e viola) entrano ed escono di scena con tempismo e intelligenza, riuscendo a creare un senso continuo di movimento instabile. Momenti di riflessione si alternano spesso a situazioni maggiormente aggressive, cosicché è difficile rischiare di distrarsi e smettere di battere il piede. Roberto Paviglianiti Abi Rhodes Zig Zag. Any combo who has the imagination – and/or the nerve - to call themselves ‘Action Dead Mouse’ and issue an album called ‘Pets and Nerds Attack Planet Earth’ has to be made up of pretty bad musicians to fail to hit the spot with me. Happily, Action Dead Mouse seems only to consist of good musicians. And they play very good instrumental refreshing music into the bargain. Their [French] publicity sheet trendily and unhelpfully coins phrases including indie and post rock to describe the current album. I’d personally place it in the same bag as some of the older Krautrock masters such as Amon Duul and Can or some British Prog-Rockers of the ilk of Egg or Hatfield and the North without doing any great disservice to anyone, I think. But this is no simple exercise in mere revivalist nostalgia. The edges are sharpened by the use of rather sparse modern noughties guitar-based pop stylee. As I often say when I come across a mainly instrumental album, it’s great to hear real music that doesn’t have to rely on clever lyrics to raise its standard or set it apart. The qualities of fine composition, proficient instrumental and production techniques and tight group dynamics speak for themselves, marking this out as a release of very high quality and heralding the potential of a bright future for Action Dead Mouse. The band has toured France from April 8th to 12th to promote the release (8th of April) of their album now available on Greed Recordings .
