 Sungeist est un projet de Sébastien Leduc, ce dernier n'est pas totalement un inconnu du public pour s'être illustré dans des projets comme Totenlieder (un album, Negative Kharma, sorti en 2006 sur Neuropa Records, et entre autres un split avec Ô Paradis sorti en ce qui le concerne en 2004 chez Old Europa Cafe), ou comme Sorgeist (un vinyle 7 pouces chez Hau Ruck! cette foi-ci).  

 Sungeist évolue toujours dans le style neofolk, mais comme le groupe Lisieux que nous avons chroniqué dans nos pages, et avec lequel nous avons réalisé une interview, il marie ce premier à des influences plus indie. Ce qui n’oblitère pas l'attachement que Sungeist porte au neofolk, mais cela témoigne surtout d'une distanciation des codes les plus martiaux au profit d'une vision plus personnelle, on pensera tout de même aux travaux de Matt Howden, ou de Blood Axis. En ce qui concerne la touche indie elle penche largement du côté – comme le revendique Sébastien Leduc –  de la New Weird America (Devendra Banhart, Six Organs of Admittance, etc.).  

  The Plague, it Came a​-​Riding! contient des pistes instrumentales (Night Flight, The plague, it came a-riding!, etc.) et des chansons à la teneur douce-amère (The third path of consciousness, Broken bird blues) au sein desquelles il alterne des moments mélancoliques et des envolées solaires.  

  Il n’y a rien à redire sur l'interprétation et la cohérence des compostions, si ce n'est que l'identité visuelle de Sungeist pour le moins excentrique – pour donner mon opinion – ne me séduit guère à la différence de sa musique qui fait se rencontrer neofolk, freak folk et folk psychédélique pour un beau - mais néanmoins étrange - voyage Between the sun and the moon ! 

  Pour terminer, il faudrait signaler que Demian d’Ô Paradis a remixé Broken bird blues, et que cela est écoutable ici. Enfin, vous pouvez vous procurer l’album sur le Bandcamp du groupe. Une bonne découverte !

On October 3rd of 2015, Toronto was paralyzed by heavy winds. While everyone stayed home, I took my camera and headed to the beach to capture Lake Ontario's awakening.

Not only were the lake and the sky gorgeous... there was no one walking around and no boats in the distance to ruin the shots!
