French songwriter and artist Ignatious C. Litrock encapsulates the approach of simply having fun with music. Entertainment and escapism unite at the helm, in everything from quirky rhythmic presentation to storytelling and catchy hooks. Des particules de merde is a fine example of that unique fusion of characteristics.
Easily infectious by nature, Des particules de merde delivers an addictive groove and melody to start with, and for the none-French-speaking listeners, the song may feel like simply a joyful anthem of a track. It’s a gypsy jazz or alt-folk songwriter ode to the freedom of singing and rhyming, of melodies that quickly weave their way into your headspace. And then there’s the subject matter, the mild theatrics of the Ignatious voice, and the generally colourful build-up of the completed arrangement.
An instantly likable original track, with plenty of personality but also, and quite crucially, an accessible and welcoming musical warmth. Ignatious intrigues, unsettles, and boldly leaves his mark, with Des particules de merde.
