Album Notes & Community Reviews

The enigmatic French songwriter crafts an intensely theatrical and highly idiosyncratic art rock masterpiece. Supported by a skilled ensemble of progressive musicians, his impassioned, spoken-word-style vocal delivery drives a complex narrative exploring themes of social marginalization and urban decay.
