DF n°252 Interview with HELEN MONEY, June 13th, 2016



Helen Money's performance at the fourth edition of This is not a Lovesong in Nîmes was without hesitation the strongest moment of the festival, alongside the performance of the Irish noisy post-punk combo Girl Band. Alone on stage, Alison Chesley, aka Helen Money, manipulates her cello with authority and intensity, seeming to cut its throat with the bow or merging with it like a creature with two heads, leading to an agonizing introspection. Based largely on songs from her upcoming album, Become Zero, to be published in September, the concert made ​​us delve further into the darkness and unspeakable beauty of her music, alternating ferocity and sadness. Visceral, haunted, emotional sounds.
During this programme, we also reviewed Nicolas Winding Refn's last film The Neon Demon.
