Broken Back

Bigwax.io is not an online record store like the others!

For many years, we have been supporting independent artists and labels in the development of their online store on the short circuit model, for better remuneration for their work.

With a team of enthusiasts, all professionals in the recorded music sector, we operate at all levels: Consulting, Manufacturing, Distribution (WW), Logistics and Online Sales.

Synergy and common goal

Every day we put our experience as a distributor and e-merchant at the service of artists with the common objective of regularly offering exclusive and personalized editions (signed vinyls, numbered editions, merchandising, exclusive packs) for fans.

Coop: an ecosystem for independent creators

It is in a spirit of cooperation that independent artists and labels join Bigwax.io.

To highlight this proximity, our wish is to highlight all the independent artists and labels in cooperation with Bigwax.io with a "Coop" tag.

If this tag also appears on an article, it means that we are the only intermediary between them and you. By adding Coop products to your cart, you help pay them fairer compensation and help them continue to develop their artistic projects over time.

Thanks to you

Ce premier EP « Dear Misfortune, Mother of Joy » fait écho à la célèbre citation de l’écrivain Albert Cohen : « Le malheur est le père du bonheur de demain ».

« Mild blood » raconte l’addiction à un amour impossible. « Happiest Man On Earth » dépeint la prise de conscience d’une furtive seconde de bonheur. « Halcyon Birds » tisse une métaphore sur la seconde chance inspirée d’une légende éponyme de la mythologie grecque. Alors que « Young Souls » évoque le paradoxe de l’enfance entre insouciance et impatience de grandir.

Les mélodies sont entêtantes, légères, emplies d’espoir. Les rythmiques électroniques sont dansantes, emprises d’une insouciance, comme celle de quitter la ville, de fuir le destin tracé pour choisir un chemin plus personnel. Mais les chœurs, et les arpèges folks sont tristes, comme un écho à cet accident physique, cet arrêt forcé sans lequel le projet BROKEN BACK ne serait pas né.

Mixés par Broken Back, Pierrick Devin (ancien assistant de Philippe Zdar, connu entre autre pour son travail avec Lilly Wood & the Prick), et N’to (producteur de Montpellier considéré comme un des espoirs de la scène Deep House minimale française), les 4 titres de « Dear Misfortune, Mother of Joy » apparaissent comme des hymnes à cette génération de 1990. Le son sort d’une chambre d’étudiant, tout est bricolé, fait à la main. Pas de gros studios, pas de musiciens additionnels.

Ce premier EP sonne comme une mélodie qui n’a pas de frontières, à l’image d’une génération qui ne met plus de barrières entre les continents. Une génération lumineuse, née sur les cendres d’une crise ambiante, mais qui semble porteuse d’un optimisme à toute épreuve. Une génération vers laquelle, parfois, il fait bon de diriger son regard.
