Was last year´s music a proof that contemporary art and culture have entered a crisis of quality, or is it that the prevalence of this opinion just confirms the deafness of the society towards its highest achievements?
Do the most remarkable pieces of music created by artists of most unique points of view have to end as the least noticed or the hardest to get? Do they have to require more patience to be understood in comparison to the one- dimensional aggression of superficial songs? Or are these just some pseudo-intellectual excuses for the fact that marginalised music is simply boring?
Are there still artists whose goal is not just to multiply their production, attract attention and contribute to the general encouragement of narcissism? Do any of the musicians actually want to make a contribution to the development of spiritual worlds of their listeners?

30. The Leisure Society – Into The Murky Water

http://www.allgigs.co.uk/Reviews/AdrianPhillips/theleisuresociety-intothemurkywater.jpg

Après une première petite pépite sortie en 2009, on attendait la bande de Brighton avec impatience. Into the Murky Water est sans nul doute bien mieux produit que son prédécesseur, plus soigné, plus fouillé, plus complet, mais aussi, et c’est hélas là le revers de la médaille, plus unifié et par conséquent, un peu plus lisse aussi. Qu’à cela ne tienne, la musique des Leisure Society apporte toujours autant de fraicheur et de couleurs à nos oreilles. La force de ce disque se trouve dans son mélange, ses mélodies et sa sincérité. Et au détour d’un jour ensoleillé, il nous accompagnera volontiers vers des chemins verdoyants, toujours avec tant de facilité et d’allégresse.
