8 Tracks: That Inspired ‘The Tourist’ – Housse De Racket
Paris; not only bringing us romance but also French duo Housse De Racket. They've just unleashed their third album, The Tourist.
Pierre Leroux and Victor le Masne reflect upon the sounds and locations that have affected them most in the making of the new long player. The Tourist is the sound of a group returning home, having seen the world, and trying to make sense of it all. Describing the album as "a state of mind, a motionless journey", here they share 8 tracks that inspired this musical creation.
Keep up to date with Housse De Racket on their Facebook and Soundcloud pages.
This song is a massive hit but we started to listen to XTC quite late, around 2013. We’re huge synth lovers but first and foremost, we’re a guitar and drum band, and to us, all the energy of this song is contained between the very distinctive and efficient guitar riff and the massive sound of the drum (even if it was the bass player who wrote that track!)
So when when we rediscovered this song, while we were broadening our horizons, we felt that it was exactly the kind of sound we wanted to enrapture.
But… creation has its secrets and inexplicable paths, so at the end of the day I’m sure we don’t sound like XTC at all!
