Influenced by Feu! Chatterton, Serge Gainsbourg, Bertrand Cantat, The Sound, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Léopold Craie has spent the last decade behind the bar of 'Le Marteau', a corner café in the post-industrial city of Charleroi, Belgium. He doesn't write about his life, but about the lives he observes—the night-shift workers and quiet regulars who populate his world. With his partner Élise, a line cook, he lives a life dictated by service industry hours and shared exhaustion. His songs, delivered in a declamatory French over a churning electric guitar, are character studies pulled from overheard conversations and the quiet dramas that unfold over cheap pilsner.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sur la table, le plan de la ville basse, plié depuis septembre.
J'y cherche les rues où tu dors, mais ton quartier n'a pas de nom.
C'est une friche, une promesse tracée sur du papier qui boit.
La cicatrice d'un chemin de fer que personne n'emprunte plus.

[Chorus]
Alors redessine-moi, sois mon cadastre et ma dérive.
Trouve-moi un nord, une architecture pour l'envie.

[Verse 2]
L'encre de l'autre a pâli, une odeur de cave et de métal froid.
Il a rayé le square du Monument, notant : "Ne plus jamais attendre ici".
Ses annotations sont des fantômes, un tremblement sous mes doigts.
Je lis son échec et je sens sa chute, quand je te regarde, toi.

[Bridge]
Brûlons ce papier, ton corps est la seule échelle.
Ton souffle sur mon cou, un courant, une nouvelle parcelle.

[Outro]
Sur la table, le plan de la ville basse, plié depuis septembre.
