​

"This album is indie gold (...) mind-numbing brilliance (...) born out of a incredible skill of multicultural songwriting. Cyclope Espion has transformed the grit of New York City back to a place of beauté complexe, a place that immerses the listeners"

(Independent Clauses -USA)

​

"Feelings mix with music in the most sincere way"

(Veglam -France)

​

"Makes an impressive go at putting out original folk-pop music (...) showcases a unique artistic perspective and strong musical talent"

(24Our Music -Canada)

​

"Loin des albums faits et refaits, retravaillés à outrance et finalement un peu lisses, « Friday Night Epitaph » a fière allure avec ses faux airs de one shot qui donnent à des titres comme « Faux départ», « Wishful Thinking », « Mad Love & The Self » ou encore « Indélébile » de vrais airs de grandes œuvres"

(Zicazic -France)

​

"Avec des morceaux pop chantés en français mettant au premier plan sa plume poétique et sa voix juste que sont « Faux Départ » et « Indélébile » (...) Cyclope Espion nous impressionne avec des titres mélodiques comme « Wishful Thinking », Snapdragon » et « Mad Love & The Self » (...) le frenchy s’en tire avec les honneurs en enchaînant aussi bien des morceaux plus électriques comme le fougueux « D.B. Cooper » que d’autres plus émouvants comme la ballade pianistique de « Satellite»(...). Sophistiqué et ingénieux.

(Les Oreilles Curieuses -France)

​

"If Joey Ramone and Pete Doherty were French"

(Krah Krah Krah -Austria)

​

"A superb singer-songwriter (...) he belongs to the small guild of singer-songwriters who can create fascinating songs from most simple ingredients. A true gem"

(S.B. Schreiber -Bulgaria)

​

"Spectacular I really really really enjoyed it- strong singing songs and productions all terrific really well done! The record blew me away"

(Dave Keyes - Bluesman & Pianist for Ronnie Spector and Poppa Chubby)

​

"I quite like it! An indie crooner in the Aznavour tradition!"

(Walter Lure - Punk legend, Johnny Thunders Heartbreakers)

Cyclope Espion

Debut Album "Friday Night Epitaph"

Produced by Nate Kohrs

201a Records (Brooklyn/New York)

 

 

​

"The best music tells a story. Finding a voice in America, French-born Cyclope Espion’s Friday Night Epitaph is the story of New York City. With every raw, Dylan-esque moment, this album is “Indélébile” from start to finish."      
                                      (Lisa Whealy - Independent Clauses)

This site is meant to show both sides of Cyclope Espion: its original Lo-Fi/home-taped songs as well as its new studio incarnation.

 

However, with a studio album just released, it has been decided to concentrate on this aspect of Cyclope Espion's music for now.

​

The debut album- entitled "Friday Night Epitaph"- respects the original DIY spirit of Cyclope Espion while taking it to a new level.

Recorded & Produced in New York by Nate Kohrs, and Mastered in Melbourne by Tony Mantz at "Jack the Bear's Deluxe Mastering, the CD comes with a deluxe booklet featuring photographs inspired by the music, as well as an introduction text telling Cyclope Espion's story from its early days to the recording of this album.

​

It has been a conscious choice to stay away from the facticity of over-production and auto-tuning, both of which would have entirely been against what this music started as.

On the contrary, it is a true and honest account & representation of Cyclope Espion's spirit that Producer Nate Kohrs captured with Friday Night Epitaph.
