Let The Monster Fall – Thomas de Pourquery’s Bold Leap into the Light

A Chance Encounter on FIP Radio

I first heard his voice on FIP radio, almost by accident, but the effect was immediate and profound.

A few chords in, and I knew I was standing at the threshold of something seismic. I rushed to download the album, then dove into his entire discography.

What I discovered was not just a musician, but a force of nature.

Who Is Thomas de Pourquery?

Born in 1977, Thomas de Pourquery has the charisma of a rock star, the soul of a poet, and the courage of an explorer.

A self-taught saxophonist, he has spent over two decades traversing the musical multiverse: from jazz to punk brass bands, from high-concept cinema to collaborations with artists like Metronomy and Clara Luciani. He’s the kind of artist who builds bridges between genres while burning down the walls between audience and performer.

And yet, until now, it felt like he was always keeping part of himself tucked safely behind the horn.

Let the Monster Fall – An Album That Dares to Feel

With Let the Monster Fall, Thomas de Pourquery steps fully into the light. The mask is off, the heart exposed.

This album is his metamorphosis. His monster, whatever it was, has been released and with it, an avalanche of emotion, sonic color, and wild, unapologetic beauty.

It’s electro-pop, yes. But it’s also jazz, soul, gospel, and something else, something divine. This is the sound of a man unafraid to feel everything and to share it without filter or fear. The songs shimmer with synths and sweat, with falsettos that flirt with heaven and grooves that pull your body toward the earth.

A Masterpiece of Vulnerability and Power

This is not an album. It is a confession, a celebration, a scream, a surrender.

And it’s a masterpiece.

Rarely have I heard music so simultaneously personal and universal. The melodies are addictive. The lyrics, full of both playfulness and pain, linger long after the final track. You don’t just listen, you feel seen.

And that, to me, is the essence of great art: the revelation of a shared truth through a singular voice.

To those who haven’t yet heard it: go. Immerse yourself. Don’t just stream it while folding laundry. Sit with it. Walk with it. Dance with it. Cry with it. Let the monster fall in you, too.

A Word on Mastering

I listened to the 24bit 44KHz digital version, and while the mix is crisp, the mastering feels overly compressed, with a DR7 dynamic range.

It’s a minor heartbreak. This music deserves air to breathe. It deserves to bloom.

The vinyl edition is on its way to me, and I can only hope it grants the songs the sonic space they long for. If ever an album deserved a generous, analog soul, it is this one. I would gladly volunteer to remaster it myself, with nothing but love and reverence.

Thank You, Thomas

To Thomas de Pourquery and the extraordinary band behind this creation: thank you. Let the Monster Fall is not just an album, it’s a revelation. You’ve crafted something timeless, something brave, something that matters.

And to everyone reading this: when you find an album that shakes you to your core, let it. That’s what monsters are for.
