MIEL DE MONTAGNE *live

Miel de Montagne suddenly appeared on the French music landscape in 2018. In his luggage he carried feather-light electronic pop music with accentuated synthesizer sounds, located somewhere between the serious pop of Flavien Berger and the joyfully eccentric sounds of Jacques or Salut C'est Cool.

For him, every moment of life turns into a song, with the hope of a ray of sunshine in his voice, witty and profound, light-hearted and disillusioned. He actually sings about everything that makes up life: love stories, sincerity, his skateboard and his dog. The lyrics are full of successful punchlines.

His second album, released last year, is dedicated to reverie and includes "Laissez-Moi Rêver," a deeply relaxed anthem for late risers, wrapped in electrifying guitars and carried by his signature synthesizer sound. Guests on the album include Philippe Katerine and Jacques, two real driving forces in French music.

The music of Miel de Montagne is the cheerful melancholic invitation to jump obliviously, to laugh, to cry, to embrace oneself and others and to be at peace with oneself. At least for the moment. Or for a whole concert.
