Description

Maison Tellier is forging a unique path in the French musical landscape, blending country, folk and blues with a rare sensitivity.<div> Timidité des arbres, the eighth album from the Normandy-based band, confirms their unbreakable bond with the unfathomable beauty of being alive. Everything is there: in these songs that unfold with hushed steps, carried by delicate guitars, subtle arrangements, and exquisitely precise songwriting. With this new live album, the group exalts their deep love of folk music, from the Tex-Mex mariachis of Calexico to the hazy ballads of Shane MacGowan, by way of the searing energy of Ali Farka Touré. They speak of fragility, family ties, memory, and nature, with the restraint that is the hallmark of these exceptional musicians. Between melancholic gentleness and collective energy, the concert becomes a warm refuge, overflowing with humanity.</div>
