"Gold In The Ashes impressionne par sa maîtrise et son écriture."
SOUL KITCHEN - Lire l'interview.
"Malgré ses atours country-folk d’un classicisme intemporel, Gold In The Ashes est bien une œuvre de jeunesse, avec tout le flou que cela implique ; comme Verlaine décrivant Arthur Rimbaud, Elias est pour l’heure un jeune homme aux semelles de vent."
