Who is The Nightcrawler ? The legend has it that this most unreliable boy, who enjoys nothing more than spying on his girlfriend and wandering about in bars at night, was born in Nashville, Tennessee. After thorough investigation, it turns out that this naughty boy is but a blazing, sludge-stained empty shell that French songwriter Olivier “Red” Lambin, renowned collaborator of Noel Akchoté and David Grubbs, quite enjoys inhabiting. A regular of the art of transfiguration like all his shape-changing ancestors (Dylan was first), Red was quite the buzz in 2001 when he covered Leonard Cohen’s Songs from a Room in its entirety. Yet he was never as incandescent as we hear him now, fully dressed up in the dirty garment of this effete crooner.

Take Vic Chesnutt, take Tom Waits, take Scott Walker, draw a Bermuda Triangle between the three : you’ll have an area wide as the universe. Yet The Nightcrawler’s husky voice sails its cloudy waters like a sticky fish, intoxicating whoever dares to lay a hand on his back’s asperities. Abrupt, lonely and hoarse, it animates the luminescent songs of this diurnal and generous album from head to toe. As it happens, it begins with luxurious pads of real strings and a love declaration addressed to Lambchop (« Great Breakfast With Lambshop LP ») : The Nightcrawler may be alone in front of the microphone, he inhabits that same paradoxical peninsula than Kurt Wagner’s big Texan posse, the one that links eternal soul music and confessional folk music. Eventually, yhe Nightcrawler’s first album does more than welcoming you in his mobile-home in the desert: it embraces you on the threshold. An to further prove that he treats this very special role with uttermost involvement, Red himself hand painted every single copy of this quite extraordinary uninvited guest in his discography.
