2001 – EIFFEL – Inverse-moi

Eiffel is a French rock group founded in 1998 around Romain Humeau. Their influences range from the Pixies to Léo Ferré, encompassing Jacques Brel, Sonic Youth, Serge Gainsbourg, the Beatles, Tears For Fears, and many more. Eiffel’s first album, Abricotine, was released on 9 January 2001. The acid sound and surrealist lyrics, already present on their EPs, were the hallmarks of this album, which included, among other pieces, “Te revoir”, “Hype”, and also “Je voudrais pas crever”, a poem written by Boris Vian which the group set to music.
