Aux Armes Et Cætera
Serge Gainsbourg
The production relies on the authentic rhythms of the Kingston studio environment. Heavy dub basslines provide a steady foundation for the weary, spoken-word style that defines the vocal approach throughout the project.
Moving away from usual jazz and pop influences, the record carries a laid-back warmth. This fusion of styles created a distinct outcome that sparked intense reactions from far-right groups while securing a major spot in the artist catalogue.
