We are excited to present you Ilhoë‘s album Eaux Fortes. A cinematic journey through a variety of genres with a distinctive style that sticks with you.
The opening track Matins Sauvages comes with a stunningly well made music video directed by Ilhoë (real name Loïc Phil) himself.
Ilhoë: Back in 2022, following a long pause, I needed to make music again. After a long night of work, the track “Matins Sauvages” was done. It was the first song of what was going to become a whole album. Two years later, the album was ready for release but I was convinced it had to come with images. I surrounded myself by talented people and we worked together to make this film.
Ilhoë: In a mix of dance and narrative, it depicts the last days of two wanderers, bidding farewell to a world of beauty and wilderness. The contradictory feelings of grief and joy were danced with talent by Mahamat Fofana and Oceane Moll and captured with the sharp eye of Thierry Lemer. With the exprience of Gwash, we shot in Normandy at the Seine estuaire, witnessing incredible sunsets over unreal landscapes. I am really touched to release this film, which is the result of a two years long process. I hope you will find as much emotions as I tried to put in it!
