"I was totally into Bob Dylan and ██│ my music was deeply rooted in the music of the '60s, as a sort of way ██│ of compensating for contemporary music, which at the time I considered ██│ to be quite dull.ö You can hear that sentiment in the Montreal actor, ██│ singer, and songwriterÆs debut album, 2017Æs Eleven Songs, a set that ██│ alternates between wistful folk tunes and grand, sometimes psychedelic ██│ rockers. But in the three years since then, Schneider swapped his ██│ acoustic guitar for drum machines, synthesizers, bass, and a new kind ██│ of atmosphere. ôIÆve allowed myself to adopt a more modern style,ö he ██│ says. ôIÆve also worked hard training my voice, and I think you can ██│ feel that.ö For Naked, ôI wanted something that was pared down in terms ██│ of the music to illustrate the quest for purity and simplicity, which ██│ guides the topics of my songs.ö Here he discusses each one on the ██│ album. ██│ ██│ The Party ██│ ôWe released this single some time ago, as a kind of transition, to ██│ herald a break from my usual approach. It marks a change between ██│ something very gentle and something much darker, and also hints at a ██│ slightly crazier side. In the video, you can see me arriving at a ██│ party, totally well-behaved, and then starting to dance on tables and ██│ smashing everything.ö ██│ ██│ Peggy (Stone Breaker) ██│ ôItÆs funny because when I composed this one, it was a country song ██│ that I never would have included on the album. ThereÆs one thing that ██│ remains intact in the way the story is told, but otherwise, everything ██│ has been transformed. The new bass groove gives it more of a soul vibe. ██│ ItÆs also a track with a slightly more spiritual dimension than the ██│ others. The lyrics are based on a fable written by the French poet ██│ Charles PΘguy about three stone breakers in the age of cathedrals.ö ██│ ██│ Turn to Grey ██│ ôItÆs a note to myself to bring me back to reality if ever I find ██│ myself on the wrong path. IÆve always been afraid of giving in to ██│ artistic compromises in order to find success. Making it into the ██│ limelight but using ideas that donÆt reflect who I really am, it just ██│ wouldnÆt make any sense. It would be the same as a football player ██│ letting go of the ball to make it to the touchline quicker.ö ██│ ██│ Naked ██│ ôI spent a long time thinking about the word ænakedÆ and all the ██│ different things it can conjure up. Yes, thereÆs desire and sensuality, ██│ but thereÆs also the beauty in works of art, and an element of ██│ vulnerability, integrity, brutality, something primitive, almost ██│ savage. In short, thereÆs a whole world of meaning behind this word. ██│ Although you would never know it from the final result, my starting ██│ point was a bass pattern, and it was Fleetwood MacÆs æDreamsÆ that ██│ inspired me to add the organ and flutes.ö ██│ ██│ Your Sex Is Perfect ██│ ôI was greatly influenced by Leonard CohenÆs poetry for this track. At ██│ first, it was somewhat of a challenge for me to write a song about sex ██│ that would be both explicit and sensual, but without lapsing into ██│ vulgar or overly sentimental clichΘs. ItÆs also one of the first songs ██│ that was recorded, and sort of pointed me in the right direction for ██│ the arrangements on the rest of the album.ö ██│ ██│ IÆm Gone ██│ ôThere are very few songs on this album that talk about relationships, ██│ but this one does. Sometimes, when you love someone but the feeling ██│ isnÆt mutual, you still stick it out for far too long, until it ██│ eventually becomes clear that thereÆs really no hope. Even pushing ██│ ourselves beyond the limits of our self-respect. The song tells the ██│ story of someone who eventually regains control of the situation before ██│ giving in to despair. And thereÆs an almost trap side to it, so itÆll ██│ probably be fun to perform live.ö ██│ ██│ Forget My Blues ██│ ôThis oneÆs a good example of what I can now accomplish with my voice, ██│ because, although the song is simple, it was nonetheless very ██│ challenging vocally. It talks about that certain person who makes us ██│ feel better in those moments when weÆre feeling sad or blue, someone ██│ you ask to stay a little while longer. Like in æJuste une pÆtite nuiteÆ ██│ [æJust one short nightÆ] by the Montreal band Les Colocs, a song that ██│ makes me cry every time I listen to it.ö ██│ ██│ Run Baby Run ██│ ôThis song was written just after my first album was released, and I ██│ think you can hear that in the acoustics and the Nick Drake-style ██│ influence. I evoke the idea of a star that dies as a way of talking ██│ about disillusionment, about something that once guided us but then the ██│ light goes out, leaving us all alone with no sense of direction. Like ██│ several tracks on the album, Charlotte Cardin provided the backing ██│ vocals. She has amazing talent for harmonies.ö ██│ ██│ Mixed Up ██│ ôThis is the last song I wrote when weÆd almost finished recording. I ██│ used what Jacques PrΘvert did with his poem æCortΦgeÆ as inspiration, ██│ and had fun playing with words and changing the order of the ██│ adjectives. These new associations of ideas produced unexpected images ██│ that are sometimes funny, sometimes tragic.ö ██│ ██│ Moon ██│ ôThis track was also an exercise in style, but a musical one. The ██│ rhythm was initially twice as fast, but when we came to record it, we ██│ slowed it down and added lots of reverb. Charlotte also sings on this ██│ one, but without guidance, simply improvising. The end result is ██│ something spatial, with a certain weightless quality. An atmosphere ██│ where consciousness is somewhat hazy and where disjointed thoughts are ██│ but fleeting.ö ██ │▓█ │▓█ │██│ ██│ URL: http://aliocha.bandcamp.com ██│ ██│     ██│        │██░  █▄     │██▓░        ▓███▄▄▄  ▐██▓     ░▓██▓ │▓█▀███▄▄▄░   ─────▐─────▐───▐─░▌───▄─────▐██▄──── ░▓████▀░ │█▀█▓▄▀▄▀▓▌█▀▓▄░  ─▄───│─────▌────▌─▐──▀▓▀───▐░▓▓███── ▓█▐▀▀▄▀▄ ▄ ░ ▌▐▌▀▓▓▀ ▀░ ▀▓▀──▌────▐─────▐─────────▐▓─────▐──  ▀ ▐▌▐ ▀▄▀▄▒░▓ ────▐─────├────▄█▌───────▄▌─────▐───  ░▒▄▀▄▀ ░ ▀▄▀▄ ─▄▄▄▌───▄▓▌───▐██▌──-███▄▌─────▐░───  ▄▀▄▀ ░ ▄ ▐▌▐▌ ███▓ ▐███░   ░▀▀▀▀  ▄▄▓▄▌  ▄   ▐▌▐▌ ▄ ▀▓▀ ▓▀▄▀       ▀▀▓  2 0 2 0    ▓ ▐███▓  ▀▓▀  ▀▄▀▄ ▀▓▀    ▐  ▓▓      ░▄
