about

"Chez Los Lichis (trois Mexicains, un Français), aucune filiation servile à déplorer : on ne s’inféode à rien de vraiment précis, préférant s’émanciper des tutelles trop voyantes au profit d’un exotisme mystérieux. Oublions donc les Allemands estampillés « seventies », aussi bien Guru Guru que la première mouture d’Amon Düül ou Can, mais également leurs héritiers spirituels Cul de Sac, ou ces groupes qui, comme eux et à la manière du No Neck Blues Band, ont fait de l’improvisation informelle un rituel, même s’il est vrai qu’en matière de parentés, il existe depuis les années 2000 une famille d’ensembles aux préoccupations voisines hébergée par le label du critique américain Byron Coley.

Car, à nul autre pareil, les membres de Los Lichis possèdent leur propre théâtre des opérations, dédale apatride miraculeux brouillant les repères en quête d’un folklore imaginaire. Et à force d’en avoir débordé l’infinité des possibles, leur démarche s’est dégagée de toute asphyxiante culture comme des temporalités figées, affolant les boussoles et inventant de singulières équations idiosyncrasiques, où rythmes obstinés et trouées psychédéliques hypnotiques n’ont de cesse de défier les codes et distiller une ivresse proprement lysergique.

En fait, ce groupe a compris que nous ne valons que par ce qui nous distingue des autres, et que l’on s’élève à puiser aux sources du Grand Souk cosmique, ce que démontre le magique Eerie Breedings en déterritorialisant sans complexe : c’est ainsi que des liens invisibles et addictifs y développent une ethnographie sans frontières, exempte de tout hermétisme, et dans laquelle le chant du monde tout entier est convoqué puis réagencé au fil d’une inspiration bigarrée."
Philippe Robert

English translation :

"Los Lichis (three Mexicans, one Frenchman), there is no servile lineage to deplore: we are not tied to anything really specific, preferring to emancipate ourselves from overly showy supervision in favor of a mysterious exoticism. So let's forget the Germans labeled "seventies", both Guru Guru and the first version of Amon Düül or Can, but also their spiritual heirs Cul de Sac, or those groups which, like them and in the manner of the No Neck Blues Band, have made informal improvisation a ritual, even if it is true that in terms of kinship, there has existed since the 2000s a family of ensembles with similar concerns hosted by the label of the American critic Byron Coley. Because, like no other, the members of Los Lichis have their own theater of operations, a miraculous stateless maze blurring the lines in search of an imaginary folklore. And by dint of having overwhelmed the infinity of possibilities, their approach has freed itself from all asphyxiating culture like frozen temporalities, maddening the compasses and inventing singular idiosyncratic equations, where obstinate rhythms and hypnotic psychedelic gaps have no stops defying the codes and distilling a truly lysergic intoxication.

In fact, this group understood that we are only worth what distinguishes us from others, and that we rise to draw from the sources of the cosmic Grand Souk, which is demonstrated by the magical Eerie Breedings by unabashedly deterritorializing: this is how invisible and addictive links develop an ethnography without borders, free from any hermeticism, and in which the song of the entire world is summoned and then rearranged through a variegated inspiration."
Philippe Robert

"Eerie breedings offers a fine selection of archival tracks by this most wonderfully insane group of Mexicans artists and pals. The music pushes boundaries, buttons and drugged visions with equal gusto. A bonny sound!"
Byron Coley
