"After the success of his album Le Bal des Crocodiles in 2023, the Parisian label Teenage Kicks Production has announced the imminent release of the new album by the artist Homme Bleu, titled Dark Matter.

Recorded at Garage Studio in Montpellier, this album will feature 12 tracks in English. The mixing was done in New York by Alex Conroy, except for the track The Life in Me, which was mixed by Steve Lyon (Depeche Mode, The Cure, etc.). A resolutely rock album that highlights guitars with modern arrangements. Introspection, existential questions, human relationships, and the passage of time are the artist’s favorite themes, with a distinctly pop-rock influence infused with an electro whirlwind.

The album will be distributed by Kuroneko.

Three singles have already been released from the album:
• The Life in Me: a high-energy rock track dominated by guitars.
• I RIDE: a groovy mid-tempo ballad reminiscent of Radiohead’s universe, an ode to inner freedom and resilience. This song continues the artist’s introspective explorations, asserting his unique style on the contemporary indie rock scene.
• Dark Matter: the eponymous track, a piano-vocal ballad.
The album cover was designed by Frank Loriou (Manu Chao, Miossec, etc.), with whom Homme Bleu has collaborated since the beginning of his career."
