This is a tale of inevitability. Of four highly experienced musicians who find themselves in a room together and play as never before.
A kind of Soft Grunge, halfway between Big Thief, Supertramp and an unplugged concert by Nirvana.
Selected by Spotify for their RADAR program, and already acclaimed by critics (Libération, France Inter, Les Inrocks), this 10-track debut album, composed under live conditions, is already making its mark in the 2024 indie landscape.

« To shoot the sidereal session of Pretty Scar, we got lost in a forest in Normandy, the day before we shot the video for Shelter. Musically, we somehow consider « Pretty Scar » as the dark side of « Shelter » and wrote and recorded both songs in a couple of days during the end of the album recording sessions. In the video, the softness and the introspective mood of the song progressively open as the night falls behind the trees. »

« Why was shot in Brittany, where half of the band lives, very early one morning, just after the sunrise, on a very windy day.
We were alone on the beach that morning, litteraly fighting the elements to make this video. The night after the shoot the whole region went through a huge storm, and in a way we felt a connexion between this experience and the lyrics of the song, talking about a life that changes forever. The construction of the song itself seems to reflect the weather that day, starting very intimately as the daylight settles, getting more and more intense, almost epic, as the camera spins and captures us in the wind. »
Beautiful Everything is one of the first songs we elaborated together during our first session ever, in an old country house. We spent weeks being set on working on a first version then threw everything away because we couldn’t find the right way to convey the emotion we had in mind.
When we finally recorded it (live, all in the same room) the aim was to find the right balance between being not too rushed and not too dreamy.
Just the way Soft Grunge sounds to us.

The song is about not blaming yourself when things don’t turn out to be as you expected. It’s also about the feeling of being unsatisfied when you seem to have everything but still miss the essential: “it’s a beautiful everything but what you’re looking for”.

“ We wanted to shoot a sideral session in a van, the place we spend so much time in when we’re on tour. On the video we can see the moor scroll by around us, creating a double mouvement while the camera spins round and round. On the day we shot there was a historical storm arriving on the French west coast, it added tension and excitment to get the right moment, the right take. ”
