The Konki Duet is an imperfect yet ideal equilibrium between the sweet honey of Kumi (Tokyo), the strokes of gloominess and dysphony of Zoé (paris), and the cathedral vibrations of Tamara (St Petersburg). But not only. Also: the violence of love stories never entered into, of chocolate that melts too fast, the dadaism of a freakingly aggressive high tone hanging on the cotton wool fabric of a whistled melody; Bach’s or Scriabin’s piano counterpoints, the weird audio textures of mind numbing electronics, the irrational intertwinings of Robert Wyatt, the vocal interminglings of the Beach boys and of some old medieval recitative…
"Il Fait Tout Gris" is The Konki Duet’s debut album. I.e., twelve songs, sung in French, in Japanese, in English or in silence, of easy sadness or of harsh euphoria, of either gloomy or frankly sunbathed atmospheres, of little dissonant symphonies and pocket musicals, of superior pop-songs and gifted ruptures, of naive facilities and abyssal obscurities...
