Description

Arthur (lead singer and lyricist), Clément and Sébastien (guitars, keyboards, and music) have known each other since secondary school. For eleven years, they tried to find their musical identity by mixing slam, jazz, and fusion, before finding their literary brand of alternative rock. The band is born in 2011 and takes its name from a young and tormented poet, Thomas Chatterton, whose suicide—painted by Henry Wallis and depicted by Alfred de Vigny—was a key moment in the history of Romanticism. A year later, Antoine (bass guitar) and Raphaël (drums) join the band, whose first album, La Mort dans la pinède (Death in the Pine Wood), quite the statement of purpose, finds a large public. Feu! Chatterton turns out to be quite the live sensation at the Francofolies festival and at Rock en Seine. In 2014, they are awarded the Prix Chorus, which allows them to produce two EPs, as well as their second video, La Malinche. Poetry, prog rock, catchy orchestrations: their music, deep and danceable, is fascinating in the way it covers its own tracks and changes what can and can't be done in French music.
