Le Monstre et la Maison is out today! And already, there are some lovely quotes in the press and online...

"For her, for him, for his family, Victor continued to do what he did best: music, putting into this first album recorded under his own name everything that we can't necessarily say to those we love. The result is this beautiful folk, blues, rock, whatever album, called Le Monstre et la Maison, which manages to move the listener without ever taking them hostage." (Magic, Revue Pop Moderne)

"A sadly beautiful, beautifully dramatic album, and above all a first-rate songwriter." (Froggy's Delight)

"No need for a savior. Just take the road and the light. We cross barriers, wander through parking lots, cross the forest, and go to school in an old Honda. In short, a simple happiness marked by absence, where we must keep moving forward." (Soul Kitchen)

"The songs are thus heartbreakingly harsh, then suddenly luminous. The album is the result of this dizzying plunge where sadness has no meaning other than an almost metaphysical mystery. We must live, even though an abyss has opened up beneath our feet. And from this ordeal, Victor Lee Gabriel draws not consolation—that is essentially impossible—but a perspective of dizzying depth." (IndiePopRock)

"Through his songs, imbued with a comforting sweetness, somewhere between pop and soul, he reminds us how fragile everything is, while bringing light where fate seeks to plunge us into darkness." (Longueur d'Ondes)
