Album Notes & Community Reviews
A highly theatrical concept album centering around a legendary 18th-century French smuggler and folk hero. The band utilizes their trademark dark, symphonic arrangements鈥攄riven heavily by mellotrons and Christian D茅camps's uniquely raspy, dramatic vocal delivery. It serves as an evocative piece of progressive folklore, cementing the group's status as the theatrical titans of French art rock.
