Sebastien Texier - Toxic Parasites (2013)

Like trapped in his antagonism, Man can be considered like a dangerous destroyer as well as a creative genius. Always a question of age, often of temper, and courage sometimes… His carefreeness may be a quality or a flaw. The child’s carefreeness leads to dreams whereas for the adult it is often an omission of priorities. « Toxic Parasites » is both a shout of rebellion and a shout for love for those who crown the world with the beauty it deserves. If the music of Sebastien Texier gives optimism and solemnity, it is because it is rushed and parasited by the intentions of his sidemen. Out of these collisions, birth is given to new musical situations which evoke the complexity of mankind. Unconscious but concerned, nonchalant but responsible. And, not to be forgotten, capable of the very best…
