Released on October 3, 2025, “Le Gisant” by Le Comité Restreint is a song that feels alive from the very first beat. It opens with a haunting rhythm, building slowly as if something hidden is about to awaken. The mix of electric percussion and soft, dreamy synths gives the song a sense of motion and emotion at the same time. You can feel the struggle between silence and sound, between sleep and awareness. The track beautifully captures the idea of an awakening soul, one that rises from stillness to face the world. It’s the kind of song that pulls you in quietly, then shakes something deep inside you without ever raising its voice.
What makes “Le Gisant” so powerful is how it speaks through its sound rather than just its words. The rhythm feels almost mechanical, representing a heartbeat that’s trying to find its natural rhythm again. As the vocals come in, they add warmth and a sense of human fragility. You can sense both pain and peace in the voice—like someone remembering how to breathe after a long silence. The contrast between dark and light, between the harsh beats and gentle synths, makes the track deeply emotional. Every layer feels intentional, as if each sound carries a part of the story. It’s not just music; it’s a reflection of a human experience—awakening, breaking free, and moving toward self-awareness.
Behind this song stands a talented Paris-based collective that knows how to mix art with feeling. Le Comité Restreint, formed by Sabine Bouyala and Léo Pouzoulet, and joined by Geneviève Gleize, Max Imbert, and Jérémy Mahieu, has always worked on the edge of music, poetry, and visual art. With “Le Gisant”, they’ve reached a new level of depth. The song serves as a preview of their upcoming double album ‘Révolution’, which is expected to explore transformation and rebirth. But even as a single, “Le Gisant” stands strong on its own—it’s the sound of stillness turning into life, a reminder that even in silence, there’s movement waiting to begin.
