Release Notes:
Folk was had done its come-back, with its (false)
bare sound and (true) melodic prowess: in 2007,
Julien Gaulier and Julien Garnier published under
the name of Hey Hey My My their first album filled
to the brim with sing-alongs and delicious acoustic
hooks and success came along. It was a question of
timing, of course, but also the result of a strange
musical adventureà
Indeed, alongside a music project fundamentally
punk named British Hawaii, the collection of songs
which became Hey Hey My My's first album was
painstakingly elaborated by our two friends, on
weekends, hidden away. And thus, if at the time the
week was lived full on with the binary and electric
sounds of punk rock, sunday afternoons on the other
hand were rocked by the muffled clatter of acoustic
guitars in the childhood home of Julien Gaulier.
This strange musical szizophrenia could not
decently last. Joined by Michel Aubinais on drums,
the band goes on stage to defend its sweet folk
songs, but slowly allows electricity to pervert
them from the inside. Neil Young, on his live album
Rust Never Sleeps, published in 1979, had warned
them well: ½ Hey hey, my my, rockÆnÆroll will never
die ╗.
On tour, in the most famous french concert halls,
just as at the most prestigious festivals, Hey Hey
My My became this amazing war machine which many
have since then discovered, first taken aback and
then completely converted to what one might
describe as a Crazy Horse - Neil Young's famous
scene formation - squeezed in a rock formula.
When recording their second album, doubt was no
longer allowed: Hey Hey My My was not yet another
folk band but rather a hybrid trio, passionate
about music in all its forms. Because after the
electric fever, the trio found with amazement the
infinite possibilities of studio recording when
co-producing their album with FrΘdΘric Soulard
(Poni Hoax, Limousine, Viva & the Diva).
And so, a few months passed at Studio Pipo, the
breeding ground of Parisian talents (like Revolver,
Alister, Le Tone etc.) will definitively liberate
the Hey Hey My My sound. Neither rock nor folk, not
even pop, electro or punk, the band's new songs
display all the colors of the musical rainbow,
while still keeping the momentum, the insolent
freshness and this old-fashion writing, which made
their first try a success.
