one of this things I love about this blog is that it gives me the opportunity to hear amazing music that I normally would not stumble across.
The track Walker by Cascadeur being the perfect example.
The track comes from the album The Human Octopus, which came out in March 2011.
Cascadeur, with a mask or a helmet shielding his face, first came to widespread attantion after winning the CQFD (Ceux qu'il faut découvrir) prize organised by Les Inrockuptibles magazine in 2008.
He signed to Casablanca records for his major label debut, which saw him shortlisted for the Prix Constantin which was eventually won by Selah Sue in October.
It's as haunting as some of the work of Anthony and the Johnsons and Yann Tiersen, with the sophistication of Radiohead.
Cascadeur is playing some dates in France in early December.
