As a working partnership, the collaboration between Emileigh Rohn (Chiasm) and Jean-Marc Lederman (Fad Gadget, The Weathermen, Kid Montana) is productive. The evidence is that they have a double CD album on release.
Black and Bleu collects no less than twenty tracks that demonstrate the Rohn-Lederman work ethic. From the samples we have heard, it is on par with their ability to craft quality songs that bear repeated listening.
The album is released on 3 May 2024 via Bandcamp as a double CD with a 44-page booklet featuring illustrations by the artists. The cover art comes from the Belgian artist, Erica Hinyot.
The label informs us:
20 tracks – 10 Black, 10 Bleu – that focus on the artists’ devotion to emotional content and creativity over predictability and security; each color presents different thematic focus, with the Black symbolizing the chaos and tension of the world, while Bleu represents calmer resolve in the face of uncertainty” as pointed by a famous German outlet.
They are probably right: the double album “Black And Bleu” is a whirlwind of emotions and the songs will take you and won’t let go, no no no.
