INNER SLEEVES WITH LYRICS AND CREDITS
After embodying fictional personas across his first two EPs (Dr. Bolivard and Mr. Bolivard), he embarked on a new artistic direction with the album Bolivardisme: shedding the costume and revealing himself as he truly is, in favor of a more honest and introspective approach.
More than a mere collection of songs, the album is a meditation on the contemporary human condition. Blending humor and poetry, Bolivard invites listeners to move through his absurd, paradox-laden worldview, ultimately prompting them to engage in their own self-examination.
The reissue, Bolivardisme, avec des musiques en plus, pushes this exploration even further. Track by track, it tackles a series of themes that function as close-ups on different human biases. Taking the form of both a confession and a guide to critical thinking, it portrays and denounces modern obsessions—control, social image, our relationship with others, and absurdity itself. Through this gallery of psychological mechanisms, the album reveals how we are all caught in patterns that transcend us, yet become almost comical when exposed without filters.
Altogether, the record is an invitation to think differently, to step outside the frame, carried by a voice that seems to have dissected the strings of our social interactions. It encourages listeners to gain perspective, to recognize conformity, and to put into question the importance we attach to human individuality.
The album also stands out for its remarkably refined production, in which each track becomes a true stylistic exercise: form and content move forward together, echoing and reinforcing one another. The gear-like sounds in Mécanisme embody the near-mechanical logic of human behavior; the staccato notes of Pointillisme evoke the multitude of details required to grasp a global vision of the world; the hazy groove of Illusionnisme conveys the confusion and transience of denial; and the apocalyptic instrumental of Cataclysme makes the tension and chaos described in the lyrics almost physically palpable.
Through this concept built around “isms”—those systems of thought that shape our lives and contradictions—Bolivard continues to explore the paradoxes of a world in which everything seems to be pushed to extremes.
