solstice,
because there
is undoubtedly
something
pagan in these
songs, a
statue of a
druidess, a
white witch
saved from the
flames, haunt
these 10
titles
inhabited by
wild animals
and dark
forests. We
enter through
strange
synths,
distressing
and mystical,
"La Revanche
de la Louve",
a transcendent
story of human
nature, an
absurd
cacophony in
the face of
animal truth.
And
here we are
embarked on
these "Rêves
Clandestins"
distorted
keyboards,
serious
melodies,
mysteries to
be deciphered.

not everything
is gloomy on
this first
album, on the
cover signed
by artist Yann
Orhan
(Thiéfaine,
Lou Doillon,
Arthur H…),
from a photo
by Richard
Schroeder. Hum
Hum also tames
a sparkling
night which
knows how to
adorn itself
with
tenderness,
luminous and
dancing, with
bonfires,
walks of happy
people and
sincere loves.
And the
sublime
Camargue horse
in the "Monkey
Song" clip
reminds us
that even in
the lightness
of pop,
elegance is a
step forward
between us and
the freedom of
others. At the
helm, Frédéric
Lo, the
accomplice of
new wave
artists,
understood it
well: Hum Hum,
the first
record of the
summer
solstice.
