As the United States continues its latest series of changes, curiously evolving into something that some of us might deem unrecognizable and uncharted territory, it could be helpful to find new perspective on what the USA even is. Were we just remembering this all wrong? How much of this was here the whole time? And how can we really define a place that is made up of so many different, wildly incompatible things?Title: Passé Composé Futur Conditionnel

Nomadic composer/inventor McCloud Zicmuse, leader of the “musical cooperative” Le Ton Mité, seems to have had similar questions on his mind. Raised in America, Zicmuse left the states in the past decade and let his wanderings take him to Brussels, where he now lives an expatriate life as musician, puppeteer, archer, collage-ist, and, one assumes, much else. Zicmuse recently took a trip back to his home country to revisit long-forgotten places and to see for himself the changes that have taken place in his absence. The result is Passé Composé Futur Conditionnel, a sprawling record that refracts the American experience through layers of re-interpretation, trying to find a lost motherland, less as a physical place than as a feeling.
There are a lot of those feelings to dig though in Passé, though; at 50 tracks long, this album is stuffed with music, and the heightened inspiration Zicmuse seems to have received during his American journey is infectious. Surrounded by a top-shelf band of Belgian musicians — plus assists from spiritually-aligned collaborators Deerhoof’s John Dieterich and A Hawk And A Hacksaw’s Heather Trost — Le Ton Mité charges through an avalanche of American genres, with pieces of jazz, country, roots rock, 90s indie rock, exotica, R&B, and tejano crashing together over Mité’s wall of horns, woodwinds, and every other instrument in the music shop. Aside from its crazy-ambition, Passé also strives to be witty, clever, and cosmopolitan in the way that maybe only somebody who has chosen to become European can be; throughout its length, Zicmuse attempts to keep it buoyant with his good humor, which comes across about as colorful and playful as the paper collage that graces the record’s cover.
