about

In combining the attitude and bravado of Iggy Pop, the sensuality and sophistication of Serge Gainsbourg and the penchant of artists such as Lou Reed and Jarvis Cocker for avant-garde and culturally challenging work within the rock/pop realm, Marc O overcame adversity to create a body of work that incorporates an underlying sense of surrealist beauty into its dramatic, visceral fusion of rock and French music.

The song is an allusion to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and in part argues that, if we are living in an era where we advocate transparency, then it must be absolute. In other words, either everything should be disclosed, or nothing. "The fader" blends into its background and disappears into the shallows of the authentic city. And ironically, everything he does from his hiding place is visible and influencing the connected planet from all sides

lyrics

LE FONDU DES BAS-FONDS D’ÉCRAN


ALERTE ROUGE AU SAUT DU LIT
PLUS QU’DEUX S’CONDES ET ELLE ME RATTRAPAIT
VOILA QU’JE HEURTE LE PARQUET DE PLEIN FOUET
ON A SONNÉ? MOI, J’EN AI RIEN À CIRER

DANS MON RECTANGLE PLANETAIRE
J’AI ENFONCÉ MES MEILLEURS VŒUX PIEUX
PAR-DELA BIEN PRIS ET MALAPPRIS, DIEU
N’A PLUS DROIT DE CITER AU ROYAUME DES CURIEUX

J’SUIS UN FONDU DES BAS-FONDS D’ÉCRAN
DANS L’INTERSTICE DES INTERFACES
JE ME GLISSE
JE ME GLACE

J’AI RANCARD AVEC SUPERGIRL
FAUT SURTOUT PAS QUE J’LOUPE L’INTERBUS
CE SOIR COMME CHAQUE SOIR SONN’RA L’ANGELUS
QUAND JE JOUERAI MA VIE AU CHATROULETTE RUSSE

EN ATTENDANT J’ME LAISSE TOMBER
DANS L’PANNEAU PUBLICIS Y’A DES GOMMES
J’EFFACE MES PLAIES, JE SUIS LE NOUVEL HOMME
UN PIRANHA EN 3D DANS L’AMAZON (POINT D’COM’)

J’SUIS UN FONDU DES BAS-FONDS D’ÉCRAN
DANS L’INTERSTICE DES INTERFACES
JE ME GLISSE
JE ME GLACE

CRAVATÉ PAR MON AVATAR
EN GARDE À VUE JE PASSE MES NUITS MAUVES
ENTRE CIEL DE FER ET TERRE DE GUIMAUVE
JE VAIS DEVOIR ME RESOUDRE AU CHOIX DU FAUVE

JE BROUILLE MA CAGE, JE SOUILLE L’IMAGE
VOS VERROUS J’LES AI COURT-CIRCUITÉS
EN CLANDÉ DANS LES VOLS NANO-COURRIERS
JE FERAI L’ASS OU L’ANGE, COMME VOUS ME VOUDREZ
L’ASS OU L’ANGE, COMME !

J’SUIS UN FONDU DES BAS-FONDS D’ÉCRAN
DANS L’INTERSTICE DES INTERFACES
JE ME GLISSE
JE ME GLACE
