Over the span of the last decade, My Name Is Nobody‘s poignant folk songs had ranged from wild and orchestrate to a somewhat stripped back writing. 

Both guitar and voice were taking center stage. With his 5th album‘Safe Travel’, Vincent Dupas makes a major shift to step out of the clichés of the folk/rock tradition. Former heady melodies are now replaced by more ambient sounds. The voice sings now from the deep of his body. The baritone strums minimal chords allowing a piano, a violin and diaphanous backing vocals to take the lead. Joining him in this moult processare his long-time chicagoan fellows Pillars and Tongues. As a matter of fact, the album was recorded in Chicago during the summer of 2013, in the cool basement of a house built in the 1930s after an in-depth trip they took around Lake Michigan. Throughout the 5 tracks, you will hear stories of a dove and a bat, of a window you can’t fix, of significant life decisions you start to question. ‘Safe Travel’ as its name suggests invites you on a romantic and spiritual journey.

Vincent Dupas, from Nantes in France, has been playing as My Name Is Nobody since 2002. He released 5 albums and one 7″ EP on Collectif-Effervescence and My Little Cab Records between 2006 and 2015.
