Tout est calme

A sharp pivot into indie rock and post-punk. Jagged electric guitars and spoken French vocals replace the usual toy pianos with a gritty, urban restlessness.

It's Yann Tiersen if he grew up listening to Joy Division instead of the accordion.

A restless, urban noir that feels both intimate and detached.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden transition from the sparse piano opening to the driving, jagged guitar riff in Les Grandes Marées.
The way the title track builds a hypnotic tension through a repetitive bassline and deadpan vocal delivery.
The skeletal, high-register violin scratching against the steady rock beat on La Rupture.
