After recording 2009's electronica-based La Musique in a small studio in his kitchen, French singer/songwriter
Dominique A opts for a more expansive approach for his ninth studio album,
Vers les Lueurs, with the recruitment of a full live band and a woodwind quintet. Inspired by the neo-Americana of
Midlake, the nouvelle chansons of
Jean-Louis Murat, and the melancholic folk of
Nick Drake, its 13 tracks include the lead single "Rendez-Nous la Lumière." ~ Jon O'Brien
