This is an unexpected return that we no longer expected. The Married Monk (MM for the afi cionados), a cult band from the 1990s and 2000s, returns ten years after their fifth album, Elephant People (2008), whose successor was feared to close an exemplary discography. Formed by Christian Quermalet, singer and melodist with a deep voice recognizable among thousands, The Married Monk has marked the French landscape through a handful of important records. With The Jim Side (1996), the second LP produced by the American Jim Waters and re-released in 2004, the trio signed their first classic, making the great bridge between Kate Bush and The Ramones, which they honoured indiscriminately, demonstrating in passing their consummate art of revival (we'll come back to that).
