about

This is the Great Mountain Fire's new single. It is called « Caroline ». The first notes set the tone for this indie-pop jewel: a syncopated synth with a smooth groove and a playful guitar loop that put us straight in the mood for the coming hot summer. It is only after dark that we will risk ourselves to stray about the city.

The murmured singing of Thomas de Hemptinne, languid and nostalgic, over an instrumentation a la « Fleetwood Mac de Marco » unfolds quietly on a neutral and straight tempo that invites waking dreams and urban wandering. He evokes the disappearance of a strange face with uncertain sex and exults in his refrain by murmuring a woman's first name: "Caroline".
So as to hide nothing from you, Caroline is a well-known, almost legendary figure of the streets of Brussels, an allegorical figure of the city, free, happy and sad at the same time. "A man dressed as a woman, amusing and at the same time intimidating by their strange freedom, a kind of a new wave Cleopatra, of which we only knew the name, transmitted by word of mouth, and which we often saw wandering when we were teenagers, but who seems to have disappeared overnight”. Touched by this androgynous character, the members of Great Mountain Fire wanted to pay tribute to them with this beautiful summer single in which their talents as musicians and producers once again make wonder.
"The city cannot deny those it creates ", they agree to say.
