Caesar Gergess's second solo album Out of Love, recorded in the summer of 2016, is the epitome of an awaited healing catharsis. A breakup album fully inspired by Adele, Björk, Thom Yorke and Clare McGuire's approach to separation, loss and depression on their respective breakup albums. 

Out of Love sees Gergess collaborating once more with virtuoso pianist Alain Daniel, guest vocalist Ginnie Watson and sound engineer Nicolas Posé who defined and shaped Caesar's special sound through the years. 

Caesar's voice has evolved ever since the recording sessions of his debut solo album Journeys by Night and has reached a level of strongly emotional undisguised rawness. Each and every song has Caesar Gergess pouring his heart out while conveying genuine feelings in relation to what his own personal heart aching breakup had put him through. 

Out of Love starts where Journeys by Night ended - somewhere sombre and starless. After Journeys by Night's city soundscapes, the listener is led into a dark forest at night where a lonesome, forlorn, heartbroken soul is left wandering in the sinuous meanders of its thoughts, desperately trying to seek comfort in the eerie sounds of the creatures in the woods, the wind in the trees and the soothing water sounds. 

Piano and Theremin from beginning to end, along with emotionally strong vocals and nocturnal ambient sounds; here are the main ingredients of Out of Love which opens and ends with an eponymous poem written by Caesar and read by Ginnie Watson, who outstandingly sets the raw emotional charge at its highest peak before Caesar even begins singing. 

The cover songs are meticulously chosen: Trust in Me (The Jungle Book), How Insensitive (Jobim), My World is Empty Without You (The Supremes), Je suis venir te dire que je m'en vais (Gainsbourg), You Don't Know What Love Is (Chet Baker), Las Simples Cosas (Isella), Since I fell For You (Johnson), Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child (Traditional). Needless to say that Gergess has lived and is still living the story behind each song. You can hear him feel each lyric from the depths of his guts, with his heart and soul. And that, in three different languages as if aiming to make his own plaintive personal story be heard worldwide. A music connoisseur said to Gergess while listening to Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais that its songwriter; an old friend of his, none other than Serge Gainsbourg would have been happy and proud to hear it covered the way Caesar Gergess has covered it on Out of Love. 

Caesar also wrote two new songs: Let The Wind, inspired by Clare MaGuire's Falling Leaves and Come Along, an upbeat, feel-good disco song. Come Along possesses the very essence of a radio and club hit. 

Let The Wind has already been released in two separate EPs with mixes by The Garland Cult and Caesar Gergess himself . 

Come Along has already been remixed by Empire State Human, Robert Solheim (The Opiates), Parralox and People's Theatre. It will undoubtedly be released as a single on an EP following the release of Out of Love. 

And so, Caesar Gergess's journey moves on and ventures heart and soul yet with style and dignity into a definitely more introspective field, that he remarkably explores with his rich, deep baritone voice. 

More videos and visuals for Out of Love are in the making and will be released current 2019.



    The band has been created in February 2003 by Olivier and Cedric. The singer (Laurent) and the guitarist (Stephane) have reached the band several months after the first title creation.

    The band has joined early 2005 the swiss label Urgence Disk Record and released their first album.

    Dolls of Pain proposes an original music (sic!), a blend of each member influences.
    In July 2009 Stéphane leaves the band, the line up was changed. Olivier leaves keyboards on stage (continuous in studio) to rage in the guitar and Nicolas, an old friend, of the band arrives at stage keyboards.

    This new line up gives more punch on stage and opens new perspectives.

    Since 2004, Dolls of Pain have toured more than 70 times in France, Belgium, Switzerland, UK, Netherland, Luxembourg and Germany.
    After three albums and three free on-line compilations of remix published by Urgency Disk Records and A-R-P, whose latest one is Cybersex taken out in 2009, DOLLS OF PAIN just arrived to Advoxya Records and released the EP Strange Kiss and the album The Last Conflict.

2 years after the release of their "The Last Conflict" Dolls Of Pain is back with 11 new tracks on "Déréliction" album.
With this 5th album the French band continues its way with a sound mixing of dark electro, dark wave and crossover music. The sound of Dolls Of Pain is still there and you cant resist to dance again and again..
Dolls Of Pain takes us to country of amorous feeling. A vast subject, full of love, lies, doubt and jealousy or hurt feelings.
Feelings of sickness, wistfuiness and questioning flow through the lyrics of this opus, released for celebration of TEN years of the band.
This new album will be released with the collaboration of Advoxya Records into a classic full album format and as limited edition box-set (7inch vinyl with 2 exclusive tracks + remix-cd, some goodies).
Dolls Of Pain meets you on tour during the end of 2013 to introduce you their new tracks.
