I had to use a translation tool for the meaning of “Mais les Morts Auront le Wifi”, but it means ‘But the Dead Will Have Wifi’. My French is not what it has been, maybe it’s why I spend more holidays in Germany. But Mig Inc. is Gabriel Berteaud from Bordeaux, France, and through this release, we learn that he thinks before he talks, but at the same time, he talks without thinking and thinks without proving that he is. Bear with me; I’ll explain.
I’ve read the promotional text on Bandcamp a few times and the text there pictures a pretty good image of the world. Fatalistic and misanthropic, but hey, I’ve been both a fatalist as well as a misanthrope (or sociopath) all my life. I love noise, drones and anything extreme, I suspect. But in this world Gabriel describes that he and his music are like the apples growing from an apple tree. Why does an apple tree give apples, because it’s what it does. There might be no other reason to do things than ‘because’. And so Gabriel describes his music as what he does, no reason other than to be a part of the equilibrium of existence. To resonate with others without a specific goal to influence others; To be. Not to add a meaning but just to be.
So, no, this is a review where I will NOT go in-depth about what I’m hearing. It would be cheating, or it would be like telling you about the end of the book when you’ve all just started reading and you’re still in the first chapter. And I’m not going to give a direction of a style or project that sounds alike, because it would already taint your carte blanch/tabula rasa. If this review speaks to you, you should take the time to listen and see if the music resonates with you. And that’s all I can write about this one.
