Yann Tiersen & Shannon Wright

Yann Tiersen

A collision of French minimalism and American indie grit. Piano keys struck with percussive violence meet raw, unvarnished vocals in a storm of beautiful tension.

It sounds like a piano being pushed down a flight of stairs in the most beautiful way possible.

A volatile mixture of fragile beauty and sudden, explosive emotional violence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in 'No Mercy for She' where the delicate piano is suddenly overtaken by a wall of abrasive guitar noise.
The frantic, almost desperate vocal delivery on 'Sound the Bells' that feels like it might break at any second.
The way 'Pale White' strips everything back to a haunting, skeletal frame to close the record.
