"Maverik Mouth" est le second album de Kingfisherg après l'acclamé "The Heartspray" (en 2005) qui lui permis d'ouvrir pour TTC ou The Berg Sans Nipple. François Boulanger -l'homme derrière Kingfisherg- est décidément encore plus mature aujourd'hui et plus à l'aise dans les constructions de morceaux. Son abstract hip-hop charme l'auditeur au travers de ses subtilités rythmiques et ses chaudes sonorités électroniques. Les amateurs de Subtle ou de Jel vont apprécier !

"Maverick Mouth" is the Kingfisherg's second album after the acclaimed "The Heartspray" (in 2005) wich allowed him to do support acts for TTC and also The Berg Sans Nipple. François Boulanger -the man beside Kingfisherg- is obviously so mature today and so confortable within songs constructions. His abstract hip-hop is charming thanks rythm subtilities and warm electronic sounds. It sounds perfect for Subtle or Jel (and co) lovers !

Blending inspired electronic sputter with a loose but forceful drum attack, Boulanger's music dazzles with its inspired fusion of hip-hop, electronic experimentalism, and post-rock (...)

(...) Oublions les directions, le plaisir se situe dans le son. Son énergie et sa personnalité suffisent à sa délectation. (...)

*cyclic defrost
(...) He creates a warm, inviting aural world inhabited by a vast array of sonic sources, from Rhodes piano, vibraphones and acoustic drums to an array of synths, subtle distortion drones and glitches. There’s a surprising number of ideas going on and the 14 tracks take many tangents. (...) Each track brings new timbres with which to play and there’s a real sense of fun being had by Kingfisherg.
