« A Sudden Change Of Mood »
Folk was had done its come-back, with its (false) bare sound and (true) melodic prowess: in 2007, Julien Gaulier and Julien Garnier published under the name of Hey Hey My My their first album filled to the brim with sing-alongs and delicious acoustic hooks and success came along. It was a question of timing, of course, but also the result of a strange musical adventure…
Indeed, alongside a music project fundamentally punk named British Hawaii, the collection of songs which became Hey Hey My My's first album was painstakingly elaborated by our two friends, on weekends, hidden away. And thus, if at the time the week was lived full on with the binary and electric sounds of punk rock, sunday afternoons on the other hand were rocked by the muffled clatter of acoustic guitars in the childhood home of Julien Gaulier.
This strange musical szizophrenia could not decently last. Joined by Michel Aubinais on drums, the band goes on stage to defend its sweet folk songs, but slowly allows electricity to pervert them from the inside. Neil Young, on his live album Rust Never Sleeps, published in 1979, had warned them well: « Hey hey, my my, rock’n’roll will never die ».
On tour, in the most famous french concert halls, just as at the most prestigious festivals, Hey Hey My My became this amazing war machine which many have since then discovered, first taken aback and then completely converted to what one might describe as a Crazy Horse - Neil Young's famous scene formation - squeezed in a rock formula.
When recording their second album, doubt was no longer allowed: Hey Hey My My was not yet another folk band but rather a hybrid trio, passionate about music in all its forms. Because after the electric fever, the trio found with amazement the infinite possibilities of studio recording when co-producing their album with Frédéric Soulard (Poni Hoax, Limousine, Viva & the Diva).
And so, a few months passed at Studio Pipo, the breeding ground of Parisian talents (like Revolver, Alister, Le Tone etc.) will definitively liberate the Hey Hey My My sound. Neither rock nor folk, not even pop, electro or punk, the band's new songs display all the colors of the musical rainbow, while still keeping the momentum, the insolent freshness and this old-fashion writing, which made their first try a success.
