Moodoid

The ambitious creation of Parisian multi-instrumentalist Pablo Padovani, Moodoïd’s psych pop songs know no borders in time or geography. The son of cult jazz player Jean-Marc Padovani and guitarist for Melody's Echo Chamber, Padovani’s psychedelic terrain is one evoking the spirit of Tropicalia’s exhilarating experimentation, the fractured-pop tropes of Connan Mockasin, and the freedom of 70s French prog namely Gong. Moodoïd’s wild arrangements are rife with exuberant flair, taking a lot of liberties but never nearing self-indulgence.

As a young child, SERGEÏ is a tour de force of eclectic music that leaves the listener amazed, almost hooked up in Lucie’s magnetic spiral of sounds. The eclecticism that pervades SERGEÏ is shown by Lucie ability to create labyrinths of sounds through the use of unconventional instruments such as marimba, vibraphones, celesta, tubular balls, glockenspiel and ondes Martenot. The seven tracks are a statement of freedom. The same childish freedom that we run behind and that we desperately seek. With SERGEÏ, Lucie achieves her freedom and builds on it, the artist that she is with no compromises but only with the determined ambition to break the boundaries, to shake genres and to make the eyes smile.
