Lazuli's "Être Et Ne Plus Être" is hailed as a more accessible and less experimental progressive art-rock album than its predecessors, characterized by the distinctive use of the Léode.
Reviews highlight a mature, warm, and engaging sound, with noteworthy tracks such as the title track and "Au bord du précipice."
It maintains the classic "Lazulian" style, blending progressive rock, folk, and pop with lyrics in French. It is described as an intimate, melodic album with a strong focus on the vocals, with Claude Leonetti's Léode playing a central role, flanked by marimba and keyboards, creating dreamy atmospheres.
In short, it is a work that consolidates the French group's unique identity, offering an immersive listening experience.
