Biography
With his new album “Time Flies”, Pierre Omer revisits his folk-rock roots. Except this time around he has surrounded himself with a larger group of musicians, giving richer orchestrations which lend a more bewitching, cinematic quality to his songs, chronicles of frenzy and contemporary alienation for some, nostalgic antidote for others. Songs which call to mind Talk Talk’s “Spirit of Eden”, the Tindersticks, or legendary crooner Richard Hawley. But with his deep voice, his “mid-atlantic” accent and his strings, Omer transports us also to shores haunted by a Scott Walker or a Lee Hazelwood.
