Cascade Street (Rue des Cascades)

Double vinyl reissue of Yann Tiersen's second album, the record that opened his world to the human voice. Claire Pichet's haunting turn on Cascade Street has become iconic, and this 20-track set still stands as one of the most celebrated releases in his catalogue.

Themes of childhood, nostalgia and an older France run right through it, with minimalist arrangements shaped by waltz rhythms, Eastern European atmosphere and a rare artisanal touch. Les Inrockuptibles praised its "constantly beautiful music", while Le Nouvel Observateur called it "limpid and uncluttered".

Includes J'y suis jamais allé, Naomi and La Fenêtre.
