A rare bird indeed

Francois Virot is a rare bird, who belongs to that endangered kind of musicians that are so devoted to their art that they never care to spend some time at home.

So you can tell, Yes Or No may be his first official album alright, that kid is no newcomer. In a nutshell, then: it's the record of a sage, recorded by a kid. Achieved with no superfluous addition of anything: one guitar, sometimes two, one voice, sometimes two, or three, plus an acoustic rain of hands on wood, bits and pieces of percussions. Or else, a beautiful suppressed anger against whatever, overflowing with generosity, acoustic guitar strings assaulted with no second thought whatsoever, escalating songs, funk to the core, rageously melodic, that never fears total exposure, be in it full sun or a car's headlights in your eyes, yet without ever overplaying the feelings.

Listen:
Francois Virot - "Cascade Kisses" (mp3)

Enjoy!
