A Swiss band led by singer-songwriter Stephan Eicher, mixing folk and pop since the late 1980s.
For a good frame, try 'Déjeuner en paix' from the 'Silence' era and something later like 'Louanges.' They bookend the sound pretty well.
The 1991 album 'Silence' and its single 'Déjeuner en paix' got played across Europe, giving the band wider attention. Their sound has always been a mix of folk and pop with some experimental edges, never settling into one lane. Songs like 'Baiser orageux' and 'Louanges' show that consistent, slightly restless quality.
They started putting out records in the late 1980s with albums like 'Les chansons bleues' from 1989. The lineup has shifted over time, but Stephan Eicher has always been the main voice, keeping the project going through albums like 'Carcassonne' in 1993 and 'Ode' in 2017.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
