Ma vie en théorémes
Self-Released, 2025
8/10
The French prog-rockers Homme make for an impressive debut, where raw emotions, contradictions, and existential poetry collide across the 10 complicated and timeless tracks.
“Abus De Pouvoir” starts the with quick bass lines that suit the firm singing and driving pace of the hard rock nods, and “Ma Vie En Théorémes” follows with a distinct ambience that invites expressive singing with a dreamy back drop that builds into a powerful climate.
Landing in the middle, “Idées Noires” balances intimacy with spirited guitar and thumping drums, while “Mon Évidence” is full of sing-alongs and moves with an infectious and harmonic energy that makes this the album’s best.
Close to the end, “Pile Ou Face” is rhythmic and dance floor ready thanks to some guitar crunch, and “Le Grand Voyage” exits with both busy and soft gestures that span a lot of ideas in the area of prog-rock that can be dense and heartfelt.
Certainly indebted to prog-rock but with plenty of influences present, Homme pen an emotive, hard hitting and sometimes elegant first album that’s hopefully 1 of many to come.
