Influenced by Dadju, Kassav', Burna Boy, Marvin Gaye. Axel Marin was born in Martinique and raised in the suburbs of Paris, but his music lives in the space between. At 19, he was accepted into the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris for jazz guitar, only to drop out two years later after a professor dismissed the Caribbean rhythms of his childhood as 'not serious music'. Now, he pays off his student debt by bartending in Belleville, writing songs on his father's old nylon-string guitar that fuse zouk-pop warmth with the cool melancholy of a city that never quite feels like home.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Le fond de ton Sazerac, Anouk, à minuit une.
Sur le zinc, il laisse une trace, une fissure sur la lune.
Son silence à lui, c'était une architecture froide.
La charpente de tes épaules qui s'affaisse et qui s'érode.

[Chorus]
(Lui) J'ai vu la faille avant le séisme
(Chœurs) Avant le séisme
(Lui) C'est pas ma peine, mais j'en fais mon catéchisme
(Chœurs) Mon catéchisme

[Verse 2]
Il a payé sans un regard, juste le bruit de la carte.
Glissé "T'en fais pas, ça passe", comme on jette un mauvais sort.
Et moi, derrière mes bouteilles, la pièce qu'on écarte,
Le figurant qui connaît la fin, le décorateur du vide.

[Chorus]
(Lui) J'ai vu la faille avant le séisme
(Chœurs) Avant le séisme
(Lui) C'est pas ma peine, mais j'en fais mon catéchisme
(Chœurs) Mon catéchisme

[Bridge]
Ce soir, Belleville a l'odeur de la pluie sur le goudron chaud.
Un peu comme au pays, mais sans le chant des oiseaux.
Peut-être que nos fondations sont toutes bâties sur de l'eau.

[Outro]
La part du témoin...
(Ad-libs) Je vois la fissure... Anouk... je vois...
