——— NAIMA BOCK (UK-BR)
FR/
À 15 ans, Naima Bock fondait déjà son premier groupe, Goat Girl, avec un groupe d’amies. Après six ans de tournées à travers le monde, il était temps pour l’artiste londonienne de suivre l’appel du changement. Née d’un père brésilien et d’une mère grecque, Bock a passé sa petite enfance au Brésil avant de retourner vivre en Angleterre.
Combinant cet héritage à une recherche plus récente dans la musique, Bock sort un premier album, « Giant Palm » (2022), imprégné des traditions folkloriques européennes et des standards brésiliens que la famille écoutait en allant à la plage. Le deuxième album de Naima Bock, « Below a Massive Dark Land », annoncé pour le 27 septembre chez Sub Pop Records, possède cette même majesté que le premier ; un choeur de voix et d’instruments qui s’élèvent et s’abaissent en même temps que la voix éclatante de Naima.
Bien que l’écriture se soit faite en solitaire, depuis la remise au fond du jardin de sa grand-mère, grâce à sa voix, une guitare et un violon, Naima a agrémenté l’album d’arrangement solides et ciblés, qui le transforment instantanément en un espace enveloppant et baigné de lumière chaude. À l’instar des espaces sûrs que Naima a trouvés dans le monde entier, « Below a Massive Dark Land » n'exige pas toutes les réponses, pas encore, mais offre un endroit sûr où chercher.

Most of the writing of Naima Bock’s second album, Below a Massive Dark Land (out 27 September via Sub Pop), was a solitary affair. It may not sound it – it’s made up of strong, purposeful arrangements with a huge host of musicians; filled with cradling space and warm light. It’s true though, most of Below…’s songs started life very simply; Naima alone, living in her grandmother’s shed in South London, writing just with her voice, guitar and violin. She’s no violin virtuoso but had taken it up as a songwriting exercise for its ability to draw melodies from her – a trick that undoubtedly worked, these are songs that drift into the back of your mind and settle there like fallen leaves, songs you wake up singing. The remainder was written on the road after those moments of audience connection, in the quiet that follows.
Once that writing portion is over though, this ends. The record is not a stark, stripped back affair. Below… still has that majesty that made Giant Palm so remarkable. Tugging the first record down from the skies and spreading it across the earth; there’s a newfound vocal power and confidence born from hundreds of hours on stage and the music sounds fuller, more tangible, but no less enveloping.
This results in a record that may occasionally appear to contradict itself; communal but solitary, rooted in place but free, intimate but spacious. This, however, is what makes Below… comforting and familiar. Who doesn’t contain within them these contradictions, who doesn’t want things that are directly at odds with each other. Like the safe spaces Naima has found the world over, Below… doesn’t require all the answers, not yet, but provides a safe place to look.
