mr oizo or the Gondry of animalistraxx




Mr. Oizo also doesn’t show a lot of respect—unless you talk about really great art. Pierre Henry’s “Apocalypse de Jean” (1968) for example, a three-hour electronic oratorio of the biblical revelation of John; or “Le chien andalou,” the surrealist film classic, which Buñuel made with Salvador Dali; or Miles Davis’ “drug phase” between “Bitches Brew” and “Big Fun.” Contrary to what one hears, Oizo is a very nice, normal interview partner. He enjoys discussing the concept behind the new album “Lambs Anger”: “There is no concept. I recorded the album like a monkey, without thinking about it. At some point I realized that everything I like in my discography was done very quickly. On my last record, I still worked on a 20-second-long beat for two weeks. This time everything went real fast. With music, it’s about energy and not intellectual stuff. Music has to be close to the animal side of things.”
