Description
Tiersen embraces rock and vocals in this mini-album, blending classic and modern sounds, heralding the evolution of his musical journey.
This mini-album marks a bold artistic turning point for Yann Tiersen, bridging his earlier neo-classical style with a more rock-influenced sound. Collaborating with The Married Monk, Claire Pichet, and Olivier Mellano, Tiersen expands his sonic palette, introducing guitar-bass-drums arrangements alongside his signature accordion, piano, and violin. Most notably, Tiersen takes the microphone for the first time, adding a new layer of intimacy and expressiveness to his music. Critics embraced the transformation: Guitar Part praised Tiersen's ability to evoke profound emotion, while Magic highlighted his skill in balancing traditional and modern elements with the support of Christian Quermalet (The Married Monk). This album foreshadows the evolution of Tiersen's later works, including Dust Lane and Skyline, confirming his versatility and commitment to artistic exploration.
