Album Notes & Community Reviews

The enigmatic French artist continues his deeply insular approach to composition with this melancholic collection of songs. Characterized by lush, sweeping string arrangements and highly poetic, introspective lyricism, the record reinforces his reputation as a solitary figure detached from the mainstream Parisian music industry.
