Songwriter flamboyant »LES INROCKS «Folk charism and rock passion» KONBINI "Imperfection is in some sort essential to all that we know of life. [...] in all things that live there are certain irregularities and deficiencies which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty. If a century did not separate them, Alyosha Schneider and the author of these lines, John Ruskin, would speak with one voice. Since it is indeed this "humanity" generating beauty that Aliocha claims. The same one that springs from the titles of Bob Dylan and Eliott Smith, Lennon and Nick Drake; An audible and poignant "imperfection" that made him, young, a self-taught fleeing the coldness of the standard, the false brilliance of the "normalized". The youngest of the Schneider family, known for playing, on the stage, then on the big screen, and the youngest of the Schneider family - a theater father, a mother of a model and a son, all artists - Dreamed songwriter most of his time. Encountered at random with a coffee, it is the fascinating and fascinated Jean Leloup who, first, will allow him the audacity of being. With him and his "Last Assassins", Aliocha will materialize in the studio the sketches of a first model - eight titles that will also give him his first record, Audiogram. From there, between Paris, Montreal and Los Angeles, the singer-songwriter emerges. Obsessed by the invention of a verb that would be his, when he meets the brilliant director Samy Osta (The Woman, Fire, Chatterton, Juniore) in Paris, he knows that he will now combine with the first person plural; Complicity is absolute. Behind the vintage console of a studio in G?teborg, Sweden and later in Paris, the two, joined for a moment by drummer Ludwig Dahlberg (Indochine, The International Noise Conspiracy), will immortalize the sessions from which two albums will be drawn: one First EP, Sorry Eyes, released in the fall of 2016 - which saw Alyosha join LA [PIAS] 's LABEL in France - then an album, Eleven Songs, expected in Canada and Europe on June 2, 2017. Of particular magnetism, Aliocha's Eleven Songs is made of a folk out of time, between the sensitive disinterestedness of the sixties and the gentle anguish of modernity; Of a pop of yesterday and today, beautiful and imperfect, framed of the words images of a young naive and carried away. On its eleven tracks, one passes successively electrified ballad, rebellious refrain, psychedelic melody and song raw and sober. An absorbing musical world where a voice of rare sincerity rises and unfolds in subtle and just arrangements of strings and electronic, discovering a sharp production of undeniable eloquence. ALIOCHA has already been seen on stage, touring in Quebec, France, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland - including participations in MaMa, Bars en Trans, M for Montreal, FME, Montr?al en lumi?re . Accompanied by skilled accomplices of the original charisma - his brother Volodia Schneider, drummer, multi-instrumentalist Christian Sean and bassist Tom Tartarin - his songs vibrate, gain strength and character, promising a suite a thousand leagues from the ordinary
