About

Multiple studio LPs blend rock, blues and pop — vinyl editions from 2016 to 2022 track between €17 and €91+.

Arno's musical journey began with his first band in 1970, later founding TC Matic, active until 1986 when he started a solo career. His voice, described as broken and influenced by Tom Waits, complements lyrics that often mix naïveté and emotional depth. His discography spans various genres including rock, pop, blues, and chanson, featuring both original tracks and distinctive covers of francophone and anglophone standards. Known also for live performances, he released numerous albums on labels such as Virgin, Delabel, Naive, and [PIAS].

The catalog includes notable vinyl editions like 'Human Incognito' (2016), 'Santeboutique' (2019), 'Opex' (2022), and 'Future Vintage' (2012).
