THE WIRE
Christophe Demarthe, formerly from experimental renegades Clair Obscur, makes terse statements on the nature of power and sexuality on his debut Cocoon release. Loops are kept hard and jagged, overt references to Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye are inserted; alienation makes itself known.
Ken Hollings, February 2006

MOUVEMENT
More violent days are to come présente un chemin plus sombre, plus engagé vers une électronica mélancolique au minimalisme stupéfiant de radicalité, portée par des nappes sonores obsessionnelles et envahie d’un souffle post-industriel insistant et retournant par moments au post-rock (…) Sans conteste, la beauté de ce Cocoon se révèle abrupte et abrasive" / "More violent days are to come presents a darker path, more engaged towards a melancholic electronica with an astoundingly radical minimalism, born by obsessive sonorous layers and invaded by an insistent post-industrial breath and going back at time to post-rock (...) Unquestionably the beauty of this Cocoon reveals itself abrupt and abrasive
Léa Lescure, January-March 2006

D-SIDE
"More violent Days are to come, un album miraculeusement cohérent dans sa diversité." / "More violent Days are to come, an album miraculously coherent in its diversity.

OBSKURE
Christophe Demarthe est un passeur. Avec l’appui des voix de Félicia Atkinson et Léa Lescure, c’est Georges Bataille qu’il offre à ses auditeurs (« L’œil De Chat ») et, si « Les assiettes, c’est fait pour s’asseoir », alors les oreilles, c’est fait pour voir.
Sylvaïn Nicolino, December 2005

BELGRADEYARD
a really good and an unusual album came to us from france. the record is called More Violent Days to Come and it was released by Optical Sound label. Christophe Demarte, signed here as a Cocoon, presents 17 of his songs, and what's unusual about them is that almost every song is the story on it's own. completely different stuff and the wide range of interests - from Fennesz like ambient electronica to fast and energetic guitar themes. it might seem that this record is mor e of a V.A. compilation then an album from one author, but what's in common to all songs on it is that - they are all good!
