Hugo Chastanet has just landed with his new album, From the trees. His head still infused by Rem's early albums, the memory of Neil Young, the youthful passion of Stone Roses and the Trash Can Sinatras, his singing is freeing itself and emancipating itself from his mother tongue. Especially since he sings in the language of David Lynch. As this great master of ideas did in images, Chastanet mixes the marvelous, romance and supernatural darkness in his lyrics. Hugo Chastanet is a storyteller and a melodist. "I wanted to create a dream space with these songs. A modern folk-rock with slightly grainy, sparkling sound textures, a mixture of melancholy and wide open spaces, Italo Calvino told by Tom Petty."
