Cascadeur - Walker

"He's a new, mysterious and masked music maker from France."

Who Cascadeur actually is could probably be worked out, but for now his identity is secret. He is from Alsace Lorraine though. Hiding behind either a helmet or a Mexican wrestler’s mask, Cascadeur is for now as much a mystery as his music is affecting.

'Walker' – which also opens the EP – is a benchmark Cascadeur performance. Yearning, elegiac and stately, it evokes loss: “now I’m lost, I waste my life away”. With a vocal that places Cascadeur on a level with Antony Hegerty and Patrick Watson, its beauty haunts.

Cascadeur declares himself “like a monster” and asks “about the meaning of my life”.
