With Monde Moderne, DZY deliver an EP that doesn’t flinch. Released alongside a video for its title track, the project captures the strange tension of living in an era that never slows down, bright on the surface, restless underneath.
Blending indie rock energy with a sharp sense of observation, Monde Moderne moves freely across styles while staying emotionally grounded. The EP was born in a climate of low-grade anxiety and constant stimulation, and it channels that feeling into music that is both immediate and expansive.
Across four tracks, DZY sketch a portrait of contemporary life, not as a manifesto, but as a series of sensations, contradictions, and quiet realizations.
“Scandale (c’est ça que tu veux !)” dissects fear as entertainment, exposing how alarm and outrage are packaged, amplified, and consumed.
“Capture d’écran” slows things down, capturing the fragile sweetness of happy memories — moments frozen just long enough to feel unreal.
“La Fontaine” takes aim at the hollow rituals of social platforms, where emptiness disguises itself as connection.
At the center, “Monde Moderne” confronts the aftermath of abandoned dreams and unfinished plans, the dull ache that follows idealism, and the growing gap between what we were promised and what we inhabit.
While the subject matter cuts deep, the music never collapses under its own weight. The EP is carried by clarity, melodic drive, and a persistent sense of forward motion. DZY choose light over heaviness, energy over resignation, offering a lucid, engaged take on the present rather than a cynical one.
Formed in the underground rehearsal spaces of Pantin, DZY brings together four musicians shaped by diverse influences and a shared urgency. Their indie rock is tense, vibrant, and restless, driven by French lyrics that cut sharply while leaving room for poetry. Between dreams and disillusionment, reality and imagination collide — and something alive emerges from the friction.
Monde Moderne doesn’t try to escape the times we live in. It listens closely, then turns the noise into something that moves.
