An artist for all seasons, Yann Perreau is an exuberant experimentalist with both feet on the ground. His captivating electro-rock encompasses everything from angry anti-war songs to outright party music. He seems at ease recounting intimate experiences alone with a piano, and yet 2012's À genoux dans le désir found him singing Claude Péloquin's unrhymed poetry alongside a chamber ensemble and nine female singers. Whether expressing insanity, cosmic oneness, or everything in between, Perreau counters cynicism with an unashamed celebration of life.
