"Lombric"(Worm) is the real name of the earthworm, but it is also and especially the name of the group of four musicians who dig their galleries in the fertile soil of the song.
Tracked down by "Têtes Raides", Lombric did several tours before signing with the label Mon Slip and entering residence to make its first album. The formation Berrichonne recorded "Demain sera mieux" during winter, 2005. Realized by Serge Bégout, this first opus invites us to discover an atypical and surprising universe.
The album "Demain sera mieux" is first of all the narration of many stories picked on the roads during pilfering, pubs, country balls, Parisian boulevards walks. Little stories, bed songs, adventures, characters, animals and landscapes carried by a pure and a powerful voice and an orchestration which is mixing sights of
traditional song with steams of Irish ballads, faggots, and even some cajuns echos.
Melodies which us make drunk, invite us to dance, and swirl under thousand and one stars under a spring sky. Clarinets, guitars, accordion but also stick, hens, clogs and mandolin spin, are making a flowery verb of colorful realistic images where joke, cheeky humour and thoughtlessness sometimes flirt with a sweet irony.
Worm " of earth ", because all these songs smell nature, humus, and soil, as if the roots of their music and culture were suddenly connected by galleries and grooves, borrowed by the Lombric during their merry recitals.
Sylvaine Lanceau (singing broom violin baton hens), Sylvain Lainé (guitar mandolin flute percussions), Pierre Lainé (clarinets flute violin dulcimer) and Renaud Schaffhauser (guitar clogs accordion diatonique) seem to have tinkered, with all their heart and imagination, their strange instruments in the bottom of the cowshed to
intone such a united world, so dynamic as heterogeneous, so amusing as attractive.
Demain sera mieux is full of songs speaking to the adults and making the children laugh. The characters just in front of us are characters of every day, with all their small secrets and gossips.
