The French rock group Feu!
Chatterton opened the doors of her new home to Hortense Volle: the majestic
Clay Palace
.
Verdict?
She is still quite upset.
Because this poignant 3rd album depicts our time with rare acuity and its authors speak of it with sacred generosity.
An original podcast in 3D audio with poetry and music in it.
Listen to headphones.
Publicity
Ten years ago, Fire emerged!
Chatterton, a dandy, rock and cultured (not to say gifted) group.
A club of five led by Arthur Teboul and four other Parisians, all born at the end of the 1980s: Raphaël de Pressigny on drums, Antoine Wilson on bass, Clément Doumic and Sébastien Wolf on guitar and keyboards.
After an EP, two albums, two Gold Records and two nominations for the Victoires de la Musique (Stage Revelation in 2016 and Best Rock Album in 2019), Feu! Chatterton is back with
Palais d'Argile,
a third opus produced by the electro maestro
Arnaud Rebotini
who worked with
Alain Bashung
and received a César for the music of the film
120 beats per minute
.
Together, at the prestigious ICP studio in Brussels, they recorded everything live and built a poignant and elegant album with riff, groove and synths.
An album with lyrics that are both funny, poetic and committed which, for sure, will stand the test of time.
To be convinced, put on your helmet and follow us to Les Bains, the late legendary Les Bains Shower club.
A place in their image: damn class.

During our conversation Fire! Chatterton mentioned ...
The Great Magic
, the next film by Noémie Lvovsky, a musical with Denis Podalydès, François Morel, Sergi Lopez, Judith Chemla for which the group composed the songs.
In the script of this film, a text by the Irish poet and playwright William Butler Yeats which inspired them to the title
Before there is the world
.
A piece that they gave us the immense pleasure of performing live piano / voice version in a completely improvised way.
The first lines of the poem
Commune Presence
by René Char (1964):
"You are in a hurry to write,
Like you're late on life
If so, make a procession to your sources
Hurry
Hurry to transmit
Your fair share of charitable rebellion… "
