Odysseús

Herman Dune, our national anti-folk monument, the most Californian of French songwriters, presents "Odysseús", a musical journey through his tumultuous existence, available from June 13, 2025 via Santa Cruz Records. Founded in the late 1990s, Herman Dune is the project of French-Swedish David Ivar. With influences from folk (Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen), country (Townes Van Zandt, John Prine) and indie-folk (Elliot Smith, Lucinda Williams, Silver Jews), Paris-born and bred David Ivar had to invent his own stage to express himself, at a time when singing on acoustic guitar in English on Parisian stages was considered absurd.
