#54 Voxtrot / Sparrow House
Several weeks ago we spoke to you about a guy alone at the Flèche d’Or on a winter evening. His name was Emil, and his group was called Loney Dear. But that night, his band was just him, solo.
Emil wasn’t the only one alone that evening at the Flèche d’Or. Jared van Fleet, who went onstage with his band but didn’t seem to be with them, was also there. Jared maintained the keys that night with Voxtrot, but always remained apart: he ate dinner without one of them, and had hardly ever hung around with the rest of the group. As soon as the concert finished, he joined up with us and tried his tapping hand in the wind and the cold on the rendition of Saturday Waits from Loney Dear, always with a sweeping smile. Afterwards we passed him the guitar and it was us who tapped and drummed around him.
We then subjected Jared Van Fleet to the same disastrous circumstance we spoke about weeks ago with Emil: record quiet, timid songs in the noise of the Flèche d’Or. This, of course, didn’t render justice to the delicacy of his compositions. However, in spite of the excessive wind, we managed to hang onto this gem recorded in the cold. And we promise to do it better the next time.
The day after, we had a meeting with Ramesh, the thinking cap of Voxtrot. The young guy, with his pointed tuft and scatterbrain attitude, smiled incessantly. His naïf and light presence contrasted with the more matured, and excessively sensitive Jared. Two guys from the same band, but two different personalities; personalities that summarize the band that continues to search for a sound, somewhere between clear pop and more worked tunes, which show nothing but maturity...a group looking for its sound, a Ramesh who possesses more wisdom than it seems, and who wrote the song “Get Off the Internet (I’ll Meet You in the Street)” a couple days after this film. So here, have a look at the two. Ramesh...
