Yan Lohendra is above all a musician and a composer, but he wrote almost all the lyrics of the songs on his last album, and is therefore also an author.
Yan Lohendra’s music is gently atonal, but includes melodies that hover above it. It can be classified in the pop-rock category, or even in progressive rock.
His new single and his last album consist only of songs, unlike the previous ones which were instrumental.
His latest single is “The Angels Are Right”.
Only “The Litanies to Satan” was not written by him and is due to Charles Baudelaire, a translation of the famous poem “Les litanies de Satan”, from the collection “Les fleurs du mal”.
This album, Weirder Words, as its title suggests, deals with strange things, such as a pact with the devil or the hollow Earth, or even serial killers, in particular in a song inspired by the film “C’est arrivé près de chez vous” (Man Bites Dog or It Happened in Your Neighborhood). There are also aspects of spirituality.
