This Week's Playlist #87 - Guest feature: Titus d'Enfer
Titus d'Enfer shares 5 of his inspiration bands.
Hello everyone!
This Week's Playlist - Season 2, Episode 35.
Another musician from Paris for this week's playlist. I saw Mickäel first on stage with Parween, his previous band, and then on his own. I was mesmerized by his stage presence and high level of energy.
I hope you enjoy his selection of 5 songs, and see you next week.
TL;DR: I'm running a musical newsletter with a new guest sharing 5 songs each week.
There is a YouTube link for each of the songs on the cover, and here are the playlists for each streaming platform:
Tidal (coming soon)
Deezer (coming soon)
Guest of the week: Titus d’Enfer
I am Mickäel. I come from Paris and have a musical project called “Titus d'Enfer”. It's more of experimental Pop. I've been making music since my teenage years. I've been heavily influenced by rock and metal. I even played in bands like Parween and Altess.
Books play a significant role in my creative process because I sing in French. My passion for literature is central to my approach to songwriting. I've even turned it into a profession as a rare book librarian.
Here, I will mainly write about the artists who have influenced me.
Links:
1. At The Drive-In - One Armed Scissor
A band that influenced me a lot as a teenager and still today. I remember the first time I listened to them; it was on a freebie CD with a music magazine. Cedric Bixler's singing style blew me away. Timeless band.
2. Amanda Woodward - La Decadence de la Decadence
I was so thrilled to discover a rock/screamo band with French lyrics that resonated with me. In addition to incredible music, especially the guitars, the songwriting had a genuine depth that could only please me. I really wish the band would reunite!
3. Corridor - Topographe
A Montreal-based band that also sings in French, which I first discovered live when I lived in Quebec in 2014. I loved the dreamy vocal lines submerged in shoegaze guitars.
I am looking forward to their next album, scheduled for spring 2024.
4. Neurosis - Under the Surface
I remember the first time I listened to "Time of Grace". I felt like turning off the lights and lying in the dark. I had never heard anything like it. The album is from 1999, but I still enjoy listening to it.
5. Animal Collective - Grass
This is a band with an incredible sonic freshness. There's a "Beach Boys on Drugs" vibe that could only enchant me. Panda Bear, the solo project of one of the band members, is also very good.
Until the next time, Godspeed!
