After an absence of seven years CLAIR OBSCUR was reactivated in November 2004 by the two founding members, Christophe Demarthe (vocals) and Nicolas Demarthe (guitar). Since then they have given several concerts in France, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland... and have now finally finished their first ALL NEW album in years, featuring 10 new tracks!
From tribal cold wave to chamber music, from industrial music to dance music (unless these two are synonymous), their musical approach is eminently atmospheric and embraces a surprising variety of styles, giving birth to iconoclastic scenic transcriptions.
Among all the groups which animated the French Cold Wave and Industrial scenes of the 80s, CLAIR OBSCUR is certainly one of those which radiated furthest outside the boundaries of France. From KILLING JOKE to THE NITS, from the Cirque d'Hiver de Paris (1982) to the Wiener Festwochen (1991), the bands with which they played, and the venues and places that they performed are a fantastic testimony to this group which is so difficult to classify.
