Arnaud Fleurent-Didier
Arnaud Fleurent-Didier is a multi-instrumentalist with a taste for 1970s synthesized sounds and an aesthetic that owes much to both Michel Legrand and the band Air (with which he has performed). He has released his music for ten years under a variety of monikers. The song “France-Culture,” from his latest album, has become a bit of a polarizing manifesto. An almost overly literate soliloquy, it indicts his parents’ generation for its failure to pass on cultural knowledge and real values. While the music is solidly anchored in its time, the lyrics are a bridge to pre-1968 preoccupations and are reminiscent of the literary dialogues of early Eric Rohmer movies. The mixture of real emotion and preciousness of expression is quintessentially French and disarmingly personal.
