F0lkl0ve - Craon
They've been rocking out their dark folk for 20 years now. 20 years of love for this music from across the Atlantic, which they celebrate on their 8th album.
If La Maison Tellier evokes nothing more than a short story by Maupassant, then all you have to do is meet this ideal musical family. Starting out as a pair in 2004, they now form a sibling group of five talented artists, well known to fans of French folk-rock.
With La Timidité des Arbres, the Norman combo's eighth album, Helmut and his band continue to explore the unfathomable beauty of being alive with the unbridled joy of never having failed in their promise: to make the music they love, and to love the music they make. It's all in the title: an album to celebrate their love of folk music - from the Tex Mex mariachi of Calexico to the hazy ballads of Shane Mc Gowan and the burning dust of Ali Farka Touré - a melting pot of influences as wide-ranging as their unconditional love for human beings. That's all, Folks.
