Reines D'Angleterre is inexplicable ethnic residue, the prince of all
taste, a stripped back smear on the blight of genre. The music of Reines
D'Angleterre's feasts on duality: chaos and order, narrative and anti
narrative, erection and destruction, dread and comedy. The voice rides
alongside electronics: cracked beaten, weathered and bruised.
él-g met Ghédalia via a radio show which resulted in high frivolity.
Following this Jo was asked to join them in the band which
manifested in 2008. To the public, they first surfaced playing a live
set at the esteemed Colour out of Space festival in Brighton, a
welcoming bed for all idiophonics. Reines D'Angleterre made friends
with a damaged conglomeration of live concrete, sound poetry, faux
ethnicity and sincere eccentricity. Subsequent shows allowed the
outfit to explore and refine their discovered terrain as it unfolded. A
recording session resulted in the unique concoction 'Les Comores' (a
reference to the island off the eastern coast of Africa which France still
administers as an 'overseas collectivity'). A band made up of Ghédalia Tazartes and a couple of hyperactive young buck Parisians Jo and él-g. Both of these humans are steeped in unsavory operations covering grounds of pop, electronic hallucinations, damaged pyramids
and hurled comedy (él-g) and the Tanzprocesz label and Placenta
Popeye duet (Jo ). They also both perform under the moniker of Opéra
Mort. (Mark Harwood)
