The Marshals – AYMF Session (2014)

The Marshals hit the big city at the end of the 2000s to bring order with a formidable Hendrix-like psyche blues-rock. They came across a desperado who used his harmonica as his only mode of expression. Laurent Siguret united his blood and his destiny to the ones of the drummer, Thomas Duchezeau and the singer and guitarist, Julien Robalo. The new trio sealed an alliance in the “After You My Friend studio” and recorded the tracks that were to become their third album, AYMF Session, a treaty on the art of how to deal with life and on the art of combustion engines maintenance for the use of small virtues. Seven heady songs, seven capital sins, seven bleedings for a dark blues, dark as the blood running through the veins of bluesmen from New Orleans, seven incantations among which “Crosstown Traffic” borrowed from Hendrix. The Marshals slightly give up the psyche tones of their beginnings to move on to blues-rock in a lighter and more generous approach: rhythm’n blues.
