Review at Music In Belgium. [...] Always attractive and always melodic, the musical work of the French musician transcribes folk atmospheres, while offering a nice passage on the electric guitar, the artist knowing how to master both the acoustic and electric facets of the 6 strings. This ability to conceive beautiful pop-folk/fok-rock ballads is confirmed thereafter, translating through the music and the lyrics, either melancholy, or the opening towards the great outdoors!

Exotic incursion

7th April 2025

Review in the daily newspaper L'Avenir. [...] In English, Hugo Chastanet begins this new album in a somewhat muscular manner, deliberately guitars in the forefront ("Frozen World") but little by little, the Frenchman slides towards a more conventional pop which owes much of its interest to his pretty acoustic guitar melodies ("My Window") or more classical ones ("Moonfish").

A real pleasure!

30th March 2025

Review at Froggy's Delight. [...] Otherwise, there's not much change, just the same lightness. Hugo Chastanet, as always, takes care with the melodies, the sound (his new guitar, a Fender Jazz Master), and some great songs ("I Walk a Mile," "Moonfish," "From the Trees"). A real pleasure! [...]

Review and interview about From the trees at Persona. [...] Over the course of listening, the ear quickly finds its way through this tangle of guitars and quickly finds its bearings - thanks in particular to this superb voice that always takes us by the feelings. The songs slowly emerge from this electric haze and reveal themselves little by little - beautiful and moving. [...]

Frozen World

7th February 2025

Forerunner single to the album From the Trees, which will be released on February 21, Frozen World, Hugo Chastanet's new single, is the fruit of two sources of inspiration: a guitar he fell in love with and which gave him a real desire for electricity, to reconnect with the indie rock of the 80s/90s and to make it resonate in 2025, and Walter Tevis' novel, The Man Who Fell to Earth, a story of an extraterrestrial's exile on Earth and his difficult adaptation. The result: a small melodic bomb with stormy guitar interlacings supported by a Cure-esque bass.
