Celebrating its 15th anniversary, the French rock group Feu! Chatterton, which originated in 2011, has launched its fourth album titled 'Labyrinthe'. While touring across France, band members Sébastien Wolf and Arthur Teboul shared insights about their growth and commitment to social issues during an interview with RFI. Wolf described this period as an 'age of reason', embracing the uncertainties of their career, while Teboul pointed to their politically motivated lyrics as a reflection of the anxieties associated with living in a transitional era.
