Weep by Fleur de Feu
Fleur de Feu offers an intense, spiritual journey of epic proportions that spans a wide breadth of psychoscopic sounds. An array of traditional instrumentation conveys meditative explorations of the divine, while remaining grounded in its core message – the cyclical nature of life. In its presentation of expansive soundscapes cut with soaring, celestial vocals, it’s an album of not just personal introspection, but universal.
Weep, Fleur de Feu’s second album, was chiefly inspired by writings by Owl woman, a Cheyenne medicine woman who lived in the US in the 19th century. The album is a tribute to our ancestors, including a homage to Dominique Van Cappellen-Waldock’s grandfather who was a member of the Ancient Order of Druids, and to her father who passed away in 2023.
