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.
