MARTIN LUMINET is one of the undeniable breakout stars of the new French scene. After a highly acclaimed performance at the Francofolies de La Rochelle 2023, a sold-out show at the Café de la Danse, a superb Taratata appearance last December, and a sold-out show at La Cigale in March, MARTIN LUMINET presents APRÈS DEUIL(S).
This debut album, a double vinyl reissue of DEUIL(S) – augmented with 3 new versions and 4 unreleased tracks co-produced by Benjamin Geffen & Gaspard Murphy – is a knockout punch from a young artist who has the elegance to thrive in a collective. MARTIN LUMINET embraces a generational "we" that is uncompromising in the face of a world responsible for its many missteps...
Driven by a refusal of pretense, sometimes raw, often blunt, this young singer-songwriter offers spoken word and melodic pop that are cinematic and scathing. An album with a mood that is at once combative, sensitive, and fervent. A call to action and to never back down.
