The fourth album by French solo artist tAk. He uses guitar layers to weave his unique post-rock sound.
More than 10 years of collaboration in live performance with drawing artist Adrien Demont, where music and drawing intermingle to create moments of ephemeral reveries, has led him to develop this particular hypnotic and melodic music style.
In addition to influences from post-rock bands such as Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mono, also French bands such as Les Thugs, Noir Désir, and bands like Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, Sonic Youth, Neil Young, etc., tAk is strongly inspired by Geneviève Castrée, a cartoonist, illustrator, and musician from Quebec, Canada, and the song titles of "Frôler le sol" are all taken from her works and poems.
Besides the guitar-based songs, the album also features a beautiful minimalistic song "Ce qui nous tombe dessus" (Track 1) with glockenspiel.
