“Once upon a time, there was a frightened dragon. He tore through the sky, fleeing an invisible threat known only to him.
From the frantic beating of his wings, a cyclone was born.
As the dragon approached, a tremor would run through the air, awakening what had been frozen for so long. Then everything would begin to dance, to sing, to whirl, to the clumsy rhythm of the uncontrolled gusts. Once the cyclone had passed, only what had been spared the wounds of past time would remain standing, witnessing that fleeting encounter.
In the midst of the void left behind, through the gutted floors of the ravaged homes, unsuspected flowers would then born.
Was remaining then the rekindled poetry, the tender memory of the frightened dragon, and the fervent wish that it might one day find peace.”
PRESS REVIEWS
« There is a kind of music that knows better than any other how to speak to the child I once was. [...] A music that knows how to tenderly take her hand. To whisper in her ear that everything will be alright. This music belongs to Notre Dame de la Colline.
With Les Contes du Cyclone, it does so with more tenderness and grace than ever. Through its feigned ingenuity. Its authentic sensitivity. Its profound beauty. »

« Gentle, ambient post-rock tracks resonate on Les Contes du Cyclone. An album made to escape everyday life. »
