Benjamin Schoos, the Belgian-born master maker of sweeping, string-laden pop music is back with new album Beau Futur, evoking the sunny rays of the 60s and the glam of the 70s. On return from touring his modernist album China Man Vs China Girl in Asia, Benjamin Schoos made a beeline for the studio. What followed are these 16 tracks drawing from his touring memories.
Beau Futur was recorded in various studios: Edge in NYC, Sputnik in Seville, Manchester, London and the legendary CBE studio in Paris. This is a human adventure, with Schoos effusing different styles and musical eras with panache.
Michel Moers, of new wave band Telex, makes a cameo. Elsewhere the duet with chanteuse Laetitia Sadier may prick the ears of Gainsbourg and Bardot enthusiasts. The elegance of French crooner Alain Chamfort in Dans les bras de la nuit is set amongst warbled, vocal pads and ascending keyboard melodies. La vuelta del Doctor Amor recalls Italo synth-funk with a dancing groove and spiralling melodies before breaking under the sparkling guitar from James Doviak, long-time associate of Johnny Marr. The ethereal voice of La Féline is echoed by Canadian Bernardino Femminielli’s (Dirty Beaches) astral keyboards. Beau Futur evokes a pop music nostalgia, reviving those moments with a view to the future.
For Beau Futur, Benjamin Schoos calls on his b-cultural obsessions: stuntmen, journeys into outer space, Italian villas and sports cars, seduction and madness… all of it expressed through vintage synths, string ensembles, vocoders and chanteuses (April March, Laetitia Sadier). The album transforms a solo journey into a synaesthetic adventure, overflowing light and colour.
A bit about Benjamin’ past: As a young ambitious man, living in a small industrial town in Belgium, Schoos studied drums and harmony. Branching out with an electric guitar and a Korg MS20, he thrust himself onto the local music scene where he discovered a penchant for noisy pop and punk rock. His career has since taken him in a myriad of directions from comic book illustrator to radio ventriloquist, with his musical output as a constant. Now a genuine modern Belgian icon, as alter ego Miam Monster Miam, he has soaked up influences as diverse as Krautrock, 70s French soundtracks and English Indie Pop, leading to the release of a healthy back catalogue of albums and the creation of his very own label - Freaksville - home to one big happy family of like-minded musical ‘misfits’.
Somewhere between his Brussels studio (aka the Freaksville laboratory) and Paris, multi-instrumentalist Benjamin has produced, composed and arranged a whole host of songs for a variety of cult figures on the French pop scene (80s synth pop star LIO, Parisian icon Marie France, debonair dandy Alain Chamfort, Michel Moers and Marc Moulin from electronic group Telex, Chrissie Hynde, April March and Aquaserge). Inspired by the technical genius of orchestrator Jean Claude Vannier (Serge Gainsbourg’s Melody Nelson) who he met in 2006, and the creativity of New York noise producer Kramer (Shimmy Disc, Galaxie 500, Low, Bongwater), with whom he has worked on three albums, Benjamin has now decided to explore his inner soundscapes.
