With Apres La Pluie, Evil Grimace continues the story begun on his first album. The two projects respond to each other through their title, their visuals, and their essence. This is not about immediate rebirth. 'Apres la Pluie' simply marks the moment that follows: when you look around, and realize that something has shifted. To move forward, Evil Grimace returned to his roots. The album navigates ruptures, contradictions, excesses, and doubts, with an underlying urge to move-exploring new forms, new sounds, new speeds. For the first time, collaborations appear. Only artists connected to his journey, present during the interval between the two albums, more as witnesses than as guests. The tracklist unfolds with an almost clinical temporal logic. It begins with a false calm, ending the introduction with a brutal breath. Then come the streets, the night, the drift, leading up to the breaking point-RDV En Enfer. Where the first album closed on a tragic ending, this one leaves a fragile opening. J'ai La Force and A La Vie A La Mort do not proclaim victory-they express necessity. More than just an album, Apres La Pluie functions as a form of self-therapy, threaded with a quiet sense of redemption. No triumph, no moral. Only the possibility to continue. Between 130 and 200 BPM, the album maintains a constant tension between raw energy, urgency, and melancholy. Music conceived as a state, a movement: between what was, and what is yet to be found. Apres La Pluie closes a story across two albums. and what it opens remains uncertain.
