## Description

Vinyl LP repressing of this 1984 album from the British Indie legends. The Painted Word is a near-perfect collection of jangly, riffing guitars, organ chords, freaky tambourines and Velvet Underground-like drumming. Every song on this dark, hauntingly beautiful masterpiece is a gem in the rough. It&apos;s easy to hear similarities to Swell Maps, the Only Ones and the Modern Lovers in the group&apos;s unique style that draws from both DIY punk and Post-Punk Psychedelia. Is Dan Treacy one of England&apos;s last great songwriters? with even more Britishness than Ray Davies, this wounded romantic&apos;s lyrics are both detached and resonant. The Painted Word is a stark, heartfelt album made by a vulnerable and damaged genius backed by an amateurish band offering loads of brilliantly adapted pop-art weirdness.

    et ça ne sent pas que la rose !
  
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in France on April 9, 2010*

Un disque que l'on pourrait aligner, sans pour autant cautionner les dérives de la publicité comparative et donc forcément mensongère, à côté du "third" de Big Star, du "grotesque" de the Fall, du "not born beautiful" de Shock Headed Peters ou de "the only ones" des Only Ones ; un de ces disques donc, mineurs dans la production rock du point de vue de ses ventes et de sa "pénétration du marché" (aussi bien à l'époque que maintenant) mais majeurs en termes de puissance esthétique, artistique, musicale. Un de ces disques qui font que le rock vaut encore la peine d'être vécu et non pas seulement être entendu. Mélodies,instrumentation,orchestrations, production, interprétation,tout y est non seulement parfaitement réussi - d'autres disques ayant tenu ce pari par ailleurs - mais unique, au sens où ce disque là ne pouvait être que celui-ci, jusque dans ses moindres détails, et qu'il n'aurait jamais pu sonner différemment de ce qu'il sonne depuis ces journées de 1982, 1983 pendant lesquelles il fut enregistré.Un des trésors du rock anglais, le chef d'oeuvre des Television Personalities qui gravaient en 1980, pour Rough Trade, "i know where Syd Barrett lives", titre que, à l'écoute de cette splendide réédition, l'on prendra au pied de la lettre : une dédicace, en somme !
