Agnès Gayraud a refined thinker by day that transforms into La Féline at night left Tarbes many years ago in search of greener pastures.

After making a name for herself with the albums Adieu l’Enfance (2014), Triomphe (2017), and Vie Future(2019), the author and musician has evolved once again. Her latest release Tarbes reinvents the circle of life and challenges our preconceived notions. She welcomes us to her hometown with sweet and clear melodies over the backdrop of an electronic hum, reminiscent of Mark Twain classic Tom Sawyer.

Agnès found her way back home with a small Electone organ, a drum machine, a bass and a guitar and succeeded in making the young girl inside her smile again. With thirteen songs and just as many adventures, Tarbes is a concept album that tells the story of a young woman’s formative years spent in her hometown. Characteristic of the era and its references, as well as the high and low points of its emotional topography. It also opens a dialogue that displaces the points of view, the time and the space between Agnès the narrator, Agnès the chronicler and Agnès the confidante, wildly spinning the needle of her personal compass and modifying the laws of attraction in a town that is more than meets the eye.

Agnès tells of an Occitan Odyssey, between a sometimes crude realism and fiction, passing through the album’s tales as an anonymous silhouette in a beige raincoat.
