La Marmite - Travail Famine Patrouille

Review by Manuel Boutet

La Marmite's album Travail Famine Patrouille is a captivating and thought-provoking journey that showcases the band's musical prowess and lyrical prowess. The album is a mix of various genres, including rock, pop, and folk, and the band's ability to blend these genres seamlessly is impressive.

From the opening track "Patrouille," which features driving percussion and haunting vocals, to the closing track "La Fin des Temps," which is a beautiful and melancholic ballad, Travail Famine Patrouille is a cohesive and well-crafted album.

Each song tells a story, and the lyrics are both poetic and political, touching on themes such as social justice and environmentalism. The band's use of French and English lyrics adds to the album's cultural richness and makes it accessible to a wider audience.

The instrumentation is equally impressive, with each member of the band showcasing their skills on their respective instruments. The guitar riffs in "Travail" and "Famine" are particularly noteworthy, while the accordion in "La Marmite" adds a unique and traditional touch.

Travail Famine Patrouille is an excellent album that showcases La Marmite's ability to create music that is both socially conscious and musically engaging. It is a must-listen for fans of French and Canadian music, as well as anyone who appreciates well-crafted and thought-provoking music.
