A joyful coincidence. This is how the two masterminds of R/A/D describe their meeting and their musical collaboration. Brisa Roché, whose long, strong, and uncompromising career is well known, recalls a concert by Nicolas Laureau, founder of Prohibition and NLF3, under his identity as Don Nino. A moment that captivated her: "I heard something familiar in the dark," she recalls. She wondered where to buy the records by the band she’d just heard and ended up contacting Nicolas.
From this encounter, a friendship was born, and a desire to play together. Nicolas had a long-standing project simmering, a set of ideas, pieces sketched out on the guitar with a very "drone" approach. Adding Brisa's voices to these tracks was obvious: it would take them elsewhere, into an aesthetic close to spoken word, but with many openings, something they both describe as "fire and ice": listening to these tracks, letting ourselves be carried away by the harmonics, the voice, the breath, we’re transported into a territory of poetry and blues, of no wave and oblique pop. Here everything is possible. Probably because something youthful, by their own admission, is at play here.
