The album "Sirocco" marks the grand return of Les Hurlements d'Léo, as well as that of Erwan "R1 Wallace" Naour in the ranks of the Bordeaux-based band. Once again two-headed with Laurent "Kebous" Bousquet, Les Hurlements d'Léo find a new and creative breath close to their beginnings.
For the HDL, everything goes back to 1995 when Laurent was still playing in an amateur band and Erwan was strumming alone in his room. One thing was certain: it was together that they would dedicate themselves to music and under the name Les Hurlements d'Léo. Like the song by Les VRP. Unless it was a nod to Wuthering Heights, the novel by the Englishwoman Emily Brontë... Who knows.
Les VRP were not the only ones to push the duo onto the roads of France and a borderless world; for our two protagonists, it was obvious: French alternative rock sounds and allows all audacities, such as merging genres by adding brass, accordion, and violin. Even better, this music is accompanied by hope and a message.
Words that Christophe Miossec, Dominique A, and Mano Solo would polish until they restored the prestige still claimed by Les Hurlements d'Léo. So many names and emotions that, 30 years later, lead to the eighth album.
