One can feel that, with New Lines, his third record released by Ici d’Ailleurs, Bed has taken an astonishing curve. This can be confirmed from the very first bars of the breathless track Newsprint, a crazy race over melodic hurdles… Even Bloc Party could take a leaf out of this book: By leaving aside his deeply moving and delicate chamber Rock, Bed- like an overflowing river- has literally cleared off…
Indeed, has Benoît Burello surrounded himself with his trusty brothers in arms- The guitar player, Olivier Mellano, the phenomenal drum player Jean Michel Pires (the Married Monk, Headphone, yann Tiersen) and also Yann Louineau (who played the guitar on The Newton Plum, and who is here, a joint signatory to all the lyrics) - but in this team, he has also, given a place to two musicians (drum players Thierry Chompré and Nicolas Courret) so as to make out of Bed a real band. Surrounded in that way, Burello has been able to speed up the pace, and open up his self new vistas to produce an album one could see as a frantic Rock album, if only the word could convey the measure of such a subtly elaborate pop music.
