Yesterday, French Cécile Delpoïo self-released a fantasy darkwave / ethereal folk album Tuolla - A Tale By Cécile Delpoïo and accompanied its release with "The Castle (feat. Nils Courbaron)" video. The entire album and the video await you below.
Once upon a time, in a world called Tuolla, there lived a young woman Aodrëna. She never knew anything else than these lands floating in the sky, peaceful places, nothing less than pure beauty wherever you lay your eyes. But Aodrëna wasn't happy; she believed grass was greener elsewhere... One day she would leave her world and go in search of happiness.
Discover this imaginary world where onirism and its bright colours rub shoulders with disillusions and darkness through a cinematographic and orchestral dark fantasy album, sung in Tuollian, the language from the young Aodrëna's country. Inspired by bands and artists such as Narsilion, Ordo Funebris, Hans Zimmer or Dead Can Dance, Cécile Delpoïo, who composes, sings and plays piano and guitar, transcribes into her music these stories coming from remote worlds. At the orchestrations, we find Olivier Reucher, with whom she already collaborates and performs in the symphonic metal band Remember The Light. Coupled with these 11 music tracks, the short story written by Cécile Delpoïo in a more universal language this time, "Tuolla", tells a story about a quest, about always wanting more, about self-destruction, about disenchantments...
Cécile Delpoïo is an artist with several hats who wanted to follow through with each aspect of her musical project: video clip producer in life, she confers to these the same importance as the music itself, and so she produced three ambitious video clips. The first video clip that will be released, "Stars", had a shooting that extended over a year and a half to collect many pictures from every season and every side of France. In her video clips, she again takes the themes she approaches in her short story and offers a new vision of manifold parallel worlds.
Also an illustrator, Cécile did the artwork, and the various illustrations that turn into pictures of the story told in "Tuolla", a musical but also literary and visual album. Link
