The group Ez3kiel is back to present their new album. This new opus blends music and literature. Composed of three musical forms: songs, spoken words set to music, and instrumental pieces, 'La Mémoire du Feu' is truly what is commonly called a concept album.
The songs—a musical form entirely new to Ez3kiel—are performed by a couple as enigmatic as they are magnetic, comprising the explosive Jessica Martin-Maresco (Diane) and the gravelly Benjamin Nerot (Duane). Conceived as an antique chorus in itself, actress Olivia Nicosia intervenes in interludes between the songs, narrating the lovers' inner thoughts in a kind of orchestrated spoken word. Finally, the instrumental pieces, with their natural climatic force, emphasize the narrative's suddenness and highlight the dramatic intensity of an album eminently designed to carry the listener away. 'La Mémoire du Feu' leads us to a hybrid music blending folk, electronic & organic rock, creating what one could unashamedly call "Post-Chanson Française."
