Release Notes:
Ces musiciens, il faut le clamer haut et fort, ont
acquis une extraordinaire cohesion. En fait, Les
Batinses sont arrives a maturie. La base de leur
approche est certes folklorique, mais la resultante
est mondiale, forcement multiculturelle. (à)Leur
periple dans l'underground traditionnel tire a sa
fin. On l'a vu hier, Les Batinses sont prets pour
la consecration nationale. Plusieurs milliers de
personnes ont trippe hier sur ces musiciens
(Alain Brunet, La Presse, 30 juillet 2003)
Born out of chance meetings, quirky ideas and
sleepless nights, Les Batinses are pushing their
forth album: EAUX-DE-VIES (meaning hard working/
hard drinking way of life). A reflection of their
singular musicality and their untimely attitudes,
the album hits harder than a bottle Appalachian
moonshine. They WILL drive you blind with pleasure.
This time around, the band made sure there was more
of everything theyÆre good at: rollicking cords,
flamboyant solos and enticing rhythms. Also
included on the double cd-dvd: scenes from a live
show and a documentary recapping the band's ten
year existence.
With more than a few on-stage trippy collaborations
and inspiration hitting them all along the lengthy
international touring theyÆve done, the adventurous
sextet does not shy away from a little mix and
match. They can hold down a tex-mex roadsong, mix a
Canadian fiddle riff with an eastern Europe tune
and shoot a ska-folk song without even flinching:
all of this to the publicÆs greatest delight, who
keep binging on their insane performances.
