French graphic designer Théo Poyer handled the artistic direction of La chute (“The Fall”), the newest album of the noisy French pop artist La Houle, released by October Tone.

Simon Sockeel aka La Houle rolls up his sleeves by taking us on a poetic shoegaze that will turn us upside down. We dive into a bewitching introspection where the specters of My Bloody Valentine and Étienne Daho merge on intense titles such as “Semaphore” resolutely noisy or even the 90s ascents of “Ode à l’errance”. The whispered interpretation by Simon Sockeel will have something to challenge us.

The album becomes even more introspective with the dreamy “You (this me)” transporting us to new horizons and the bittersweet “L’égaré.e” recalling the grace of Cocteau Twins, both these songs involving Simon’s grandmother.

Alongside the photographic cover design, we find a beautiful use of Inferi Light in different sizes next to Acumin.
