Via Doloris Presents “Un Franc Soleil” from Guerre et Paix

Via Doloris presents “Un Franc Soleil”, the second single drawn from the forthcoming debut album ‘Guerre et Paix’. Standing among the record’s most luminous moments, the track captures a fleeting sensation of release after prolonged inner unrest. Conceived as an atmospheric depiction of an illusion glimpsed from afar, it evokes the distant promise of a life freed from struggle, a vision radiant yet never fully attained.

“Un Franc Soleil” reveals the project at its most expansive and textural. The composition unfolds in measured restraint, where layered guitars trace gentle melodic figures across a patient rhythmic foundation. The nuanced drumming of Frost anchors the gradual ascent of each progression, allowing melody to emerge from distortion and clarity from dissonance. Written in French, the lyrics carry vulnerability and resolve in equal measure, portraying serenity not as certainty, but as something only ever approached. Within the broader architecture of ‘Guerre et Paix’, the track functions as a threshold: a contemplative pause before the album returns to denser and more conflicted terrain.
