Nicolas Comment - Blason

"Blason," Nicolas Comment's third solo album, is a memory game: a game of trails and coats of arms. In the form of Chinese portraits that are also artist lives, the 11 songs on this album are a tribute to hidden muses and secret Pygmalions. The artist (singer-songwriter but also photographer and writer) is surrounded by the best French rock band The Limiñanas, as well as dream backing vocalists – Californian singer Brisa Roché and her double, Parisian Milo McMullen – who embody these biopics in a play of mirrors, like the multiple faces of a die, or a Rubik's Cube... Accomplices – poet-songwriter Patrick Bouvet, pianist Maxence Cyrin, mischief-maker Romain Guerret (former leader of the band Aline) and director Éric Simonet (Movement) cross swords with Bob Dylan's guitarist – Freddy Koella – or producer-keyboardist (and filmmaker) Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague). Recorded at Alphaville studio in Châtelet-les-Halles and mastered at La Bastille, the very Sound of Paris picks up the gauntlet of French, independent, and Rock singer-songwriter music.
