Vinyl | Jérôme Minière | A Clearing

This Clairière is probably the album that most intimately connects Jérôme Minière to his origins and to his two inaugural albums released on the Lithium label in the 90s. The 9-minute 25-second tour de force, La beauté, which opens side B, resonates like a true manifesto and surely gives us a key to understanding Jérôme Minière's entire body of work. Through this constant concern for balance and precision, an intimate and political view of the world is revealed, documenting more than it comments. It is about the place of an author at the heart of an era, yet completely apart: music and writing as a playground and a space of resistance. It is surely his words that best highlight what he questions: "Today beauty hasn't changed, it still takes eternity" (La beauté).
