Eiffel

Eiffel is Romain Humeau’s rock project. A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Romain Humeau has recorded 12 albums. Operating outside the usual codes and standards of rock, his protean productions move through multiple registers and regularly change their skin without ever losing the thread of the songs. Influenced by the art rock of Bowie, the Pixies, Lennon–McCartney, XTC and Talking Heads, as much as by Bach, Brel, certain strains of rap and certain electronic music, Beck, Vian, Coltrane, Depeche Mode, Latin American music, and the baroque and romantic traditions, Eiffel is in constant evolution. With nearly 1,000 concerts in France, Belgium, Quebec and Switzerland, and a close relationship with his self‑proclaimed hardcore fans Les Ahuris, Eiffel is a concrete body, without a virtual avatar.

While À tout moment la rue, Sous ton aile, Place de mon cœur, Tu vois loin, Toi, Sombre, Te revoir, Chercher, Échos, Je m’obstine, Cascade, Beauté du diable, Hype, among others, have formed the substance of so many concerts, the tracks for La peur et le vent, a forthcoming album whose finishing touches are currently underway, are intended to be written for the stage. Changes at every level. A musical turn tinged with soul: a blend of 1980s drive and the chill of the world as it runs today, and a principle of using no machines for this album. Airy, raw lyrics and a warm voice. A determination to make clear that lineups for stage and studio can change and evolve according to the music.
