Salopecia started in 2013, in a loud and short show, when the artist Robin Jiro Margerin performed in a tiny gallery space. The multidisciplinary artist born in San Francisco moved to Paris at age 19 to study at the Beaux Arts. During his years in Paris, he has developed a multi-disciplinary set of projects ranging from his personal visual arts practice, organizing collective exhibitions, running artist-run spaces, storytelling, amateur horticulture, relationship advice, not selling drugs and electronic music.
In 2018, there’s time for Meanderthal, a thirteen song record that wanders through a schizophrenic jumble of groves that consistently meld the odd with the familiar. Genres are lumped together like so many single-stemmed flowers; the balance achieved is fragile but holding, always with eletronic elements in the matrix. While on late-night rambles, Salopecia breathes little songs into his telephone, something
between mantras and shopping-lists, which he then samples and douses with syncopated
rhythms and synthetic grit. One can hear the influence of 90’s Bay Area hip hop like E-40
or the Hieroglyphics, some of the sweet abstraction of artists from the Anticon label, with a
taste of the absurd pastiche of Ween, for example.
