██│ ôThere used to be something a bit childish in the way I saw things,ö
██│ Aliocha Schneider tells Apple Music. "I was totally into Bob Dylan and
██│ my music was deeply rooted in the music of the '60s, as a sort of way
██│ of compensating for contemporary music, which at the time I considered
██│ to be quite dull.ö You can hear that sentiment in the Montreal actor,
██│ singer, and songwriterÆs debut album, 2017Æs Eleven Songs, a set that
██│ alternates between wistful folk tunes and grand, sometimes psychedelic
██│ rockers. But in the three years since then, Schneider swapped his
██│ acoustic guitar for drum machines, synthesizers, bass, and a new kind
██│ of atmosphere. ôIÆve allowed myself to adopt a more modern style,ö he
██│ says. ôIÆve also worked hard training my voice, and I think you can
██│ feel that.ö For Naked, ôI wanted something that was pared down in
██│ terms of the music to illustrate the quest for purity and simplicity,
██│ which guides the topics of my songs.ö Here he discusses each one on
██│ the album.
██│
██│ The Party
██│ ôWe released this single some time ago, as a kind of transition, to
██│ herald a break from my usual approach. It marks a change between
██│ something very gentle and something much darker, and also hints at a
██│ slightly crazier side. In the video, you can see me arriving at a
██│ party, totally well-behaved, and then starting to dance on tables and
██│ smashing everything.ö
██│
██│ Peggy (Stone Breaker)
██│ ôItÆs funny because when I composed this one, it was a country song
██│ that I never would have included on the album. ThereÆs one thing that
██│ remains intact in the way the story is told, but otherwise, everything
██│ has been transformed. The new bass groove gives it more of a soul
██│ vibe. ItÆs also a track with a slightly more spiritual dimension than
██│ the others. The lyrics are based on a fable written by the French poet
██│ Charles PΘguy about three stone breakers in the age of cathedrals.ö
██│
██│ Turn to Grey
██│ ôItÆs a note to myself to bring me back to reality if ever I find
██│ myself on the wrong path. IÆve always been afraid of giving in to
██│ artistic compromises in order to find success. Making it into the
██│ limelight but using ideas that donÆt reflect who I really am, it just
██│ wouldnÆt make any sense. It would be the same as a football player
██│ letting go of the ball to make it to the touchline quicker.ö
██│
██│ Naked
██│ ôI spent a long time thinking about the word ænakedÆ and all the
██│ different things it can conjure up. Yes, thereÆs desire and
██│ sensuality, but thereÆs also the beauty in works of art, and an
██│ element of vulnerability, integrity, brutality, something primitive,
██│ almost savage. In short, thereÆs a whole world of meaning behind this
██│ word. Although you would never know it from the final result, my
██│ starting point was a bass pattern, and it was Fleetwood MacÆs æDreamsÆ
██│ that inspired me to add the organ and flutes.ö
██│
██│ Your Sex Is Perfect
██│ ôI was greatly influenced by Leonard CohenÆs poetry for this track. At
██│ first, it was somewhat of a challenge for me to write a song about sex
██│ that would be both explicit and sensual, but without lapsing into
██│ vulgar or overly sentimental clichΘs. ItÆs also one of the first songs
██│ that was recorded, and sort of pointed me in the right direction for
██│ the arrangements on the rest of the album.ö
██│
██│ IÆm Gone
██│ ôThere are very few songs on this album that talk about relationships,
██│ but this one does. Sometimes, when you love someone but the feeling
██│ isnÆt mutual, you still stick it out for far too long, until it
██│ eventually becomes clear that thereÆs really no hope. Even pushing
██│ ourselves beyond the limits of our self-respect. The song tells the
██│ story of someone who eventually regains control of the situation
██│ before giving in to despair. And thereÆs an almost trap side to it, so
██│ itÆll probably be fun to perform live.ö
██│
██│ Forget My Blues
██│ ôThis oneÆs a good example of what I can now accomplish with my voice,
██│ because, although the song is simple, it was nonetheless very
██│ challenging vocally. It talks about that certain person who makes us
██│ feel better in those moments when weÆre feeling sad or blue, someone
██│ you ask to stay a little while longer. Like in æJuste une pÆtite
██│ nuiteÆ [æJust one short nightÆ] by the Montreal band Les Colocs, a
██│ song that makes me cry every time I listen to it.ö
██│
██│ Run Baby Run
██│ ôThis song was written just after my first album was released, and I
██│ think you can hear that in the acoustics and the Nick Drake-style
██│ influence. I evoke the idea of a star that dies as a way of talking
██│ about disillusionment, about something that once guided us but then
██│ the light goes out, leaving us all alone with no sense of direction.
██│ Like several tracks on the album, Charlotte Cardin provided the
██│ backing vocals. She has amazing talent for harmonies.ö
██│
██│ Mixed Up
██│ ôThis is the last song I wrote when weÆd almost finished recording. I
██│ used what Jacques PrΘvert did with his poem æCortΦgeÆ as inspiration,
██│ and had fun playing with words and changing the order of the
██│ adjectives. These new associations of ideas produced unexpected images
██│ that are sometimes funny, sometimes tragic.ö
██│
██│ Moon
██│ ôThis track was also an exercise in style, but a musical one. The
██│ rhythm was initially twice as fast, but when we came to record it, we
██│ slowed it down and added lots of reverb. Charlotte also sings on this
██│ one, but without guidance, simply improvising. The end result is
██│ something spatial, with a certain weightless quality. An atmosphere
██│ where consciousness is somewhat hazy and where disjointed thoughts are
██│ but fleeting.ö
