July/August/September
Lone Kent with Audrey Lavergne

"... Ces deux prodiges, en écriture comme en interprétation étaient réunis dans un set intimiste, où chaque mot, chaque son, chaque regard a capté le spectateur et l'a invité à découvrir l'âme de leurs albums respectifs, non sans émotions..."

"... Lui est un voyageur et sa guitare a des réminiscences de terres américaines (ses origines), mais aussi du Liban, de Thaïlande, d'Algérie ou de France..."

"... Ensemble, ils forment, pour l'occasion, un duo dont la griffe est la liberté sonore. Sachant que Lone Kent est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs représentants actuels de la musique rock. 'Oysters' est le nom du troisième opus de ce multi-instrumentaliste et guitariste virtuose..."

"... As soon as the first notes appear, it’s hard not to be won over.
A minimalist band, a sound of rare purity, a captivating musical style : "Trip Rock" (definition in my dictionary : rock, pop, atmospheres from another world made of electro sounds, the whole on catchy but often slow rhythms), and two splendid voices : one is Lone Kent, clearly charismatic, whose voice is smooth and deeply sensual, the other is Audrey Lavergne, guest back-up singer, whose crystal-clear voice is sometimes reminiscent of Anneke Van Giersbergen (can we dream of more ?)
... In other words, an excellent intimate concert, with a generous and captivating band, the whole in a club that deserves to be known..."

"Lone Kent has created a hazardous synthesis between 'saloon songs', 'American teamster songs' like Bruce Springsteen, and specialized electro music. Lone Kent himself defines his style as 'Zen Metal', smiling, because nothing is less identifiable than his music.

The electronic daydreaming softens the flames of his guitar, that follows the onslaughts of an exceptional drummer, and this music, though ornate, is definitely happily accessible."

"Lone Kent has travelled far with his guitars, met lots of people, and become a real expert in his art form. With a tremendous voice and fiery Rock attitude, this first release in Belgium won't pass unnoticed. Because if his songs sound
like jewels played on any great American radio station ; his natural charisma on stage is a high point we are happy to have seen."

"Lone Kent has been the best surprise of the festival. Kent has an exceptional voice that easily allows the audacious comparison with Chris Rea or Lou Reed that had been forwarded by the organizers. His guitar playing may well have made many turn pale ; the 'Rican' who speaks Voltaire’s language with an open Toulouse accent is an exceptional guitar
player, who puts out the purest sounds in all of Rock's grandeur."
"Rock a Nu" festival, February 8th, 2000

 

 

"His ambient rock creates a velvet climate, an atmospheric environment made of softness and quiet, where you can easily abandon yourself to the delights of hypnosis... , this captivating music, in which technology and electronics are only there to emphasize the subtlety of his fingers, is really full of fleeting emotions."
