The Doug – in agreement with Bleu Citron

It’s the intimate work of a young man from Clermont Ferrand whose influences and passions stand out like a sore thumb. They include, in no particular order, the Texan rappers from Brockhampton, Lomepal, and Bon Iver, films where ‘the actors look a bit weird’ by Bruno Dumont or Alain Guiraudie, but also rock climbing, science fiction, heroic fantasy, video games and even the Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Albert Camus.

It’s a name dropping that may not sound obvious when you listen to the tracks on his second EP (February 2023), but it’s sure to open up new avenues for exploring this singular artist, who is now more of a singer than a rapper, despite a few jabs here and there.
