d’Eon – “Prochaine Station”
Named after a Montreal train station, there’s a neat literalism to d’Eon‘s “Prochaine Station”, because, yknow, it sounds remarkably like a train and is charged with a slight French (house) bent, but remaining singular enough to have its own identity.
I’m always unsure how conscious the naming process is; where the artist’s intention ends and my interpretation begins, what I’m projecting, what’s actually present. Whichever way you look at it though, d’Eon did a pretty good job.
And while we’re identifying similarities, I’m reminded of that same train that Michel Gondry had sailing into Paris in “Star Guitar”, except this engine isn’t heading for the suburbs. d’Eon has his controls set firmly for the heart of the sun. I’m getting on Trainline right now.
