about

"Équilibre" ("balance" in English) is the second album of Dièze - the solo act of Diego Leyder, guitar player for the bands BRNS, Namdose and Fondry. On his new record, the musician continues to blaze a trail between American minimalism and pop sensibility.

Written at home instinctively, the solo guitar pieces on this album form a shape-shifting collection whose common denominators are spontaneity and sobriety. The voluntary simplicity shows in the writing phase, in arrangements and in the production choices but also in the recording process, which was done mostly in one take, without overdubs.

For the first time, the electric guitar is supported by other instruments on a few tracks on this new record: a cello, a double bass, a clarinet and a vibraphone add textures and colours without spoiling the minimalist intention.

Released in CD and digital format by dear.deer.records and
Figures Libres Records in France on September 12, 2025.
