In 2024, JE T'AIME is six years old. Their new album, Useless Boy, is an expressionist cry, a sad party where the melancholic thrill is always hidden behind illusory comforts. More than ever, it's a flight into the future, a rejection of the dreary conventions of the real world.
JE T'AIME locks itself away in its own intimate universe to avoid confronting dull, tasteless normality. Sorrows are sublimated by the all-consuming energy of a trio for whom maturing rhymes with dying, skilfully juggling nostalgia and modernity.
JE T'AIME finds grace in its rejection of uniformity, and pushes back against the outside world, trapped in
prisons that also protect. Useless Boy is a new album of invisible walls, fractures, anguish and broken dreams...
But since all victories are vain illusions,
JE T'AIME's exuberance and torment are a saving tornado, an antidote to the lies we tell ourselves day after
day: no, we're not learning anything, we're not growing, and our glory days won't give meaning to our lives. In
any case, this austere world leaves no room for the Useless Boys.
- Pierre Sopor, jounalist.
