Chilly Gonzales - 'Advantage Points'

For obvious reasons this is the choice of our keys player who loves Chilly Gonzales. What a piano player. You need to see him on stage. -Jérôme

Nicholas Godin - 'Bach Off'

Nicolas Godin is one of the two from Air. We are huge fans. A genteel song full of great ideas where you can hear the legendary "Air" groove. Mix of sweet piano, jazz drums and cool bass pattern with a little bit of Bach (who invented the pop). -Jérôme

Sufjan Stevens - 'All Of Me Wants All Of You'

This is one of my favourite songs on my "nap" playlist. Close your eyes and let the voice of Sufjan bring you in the other world.

The thing is that for us, writing songs is more like a therapy that a way to telling stories. We write about difficulties, bad experiences, hard moments, nightmares. It's a way to take these things away.   And paradoxically it does not make our songs something sad. It's more like a sweet melancholy that bring you in a other state, somewhere on the border between happiness and sadness where you feel great.  But there is something else on this album, we talk about what is it to grow, trying to be happier and find your place in this world. We tried to approach these themes with a cinematic, atmospheric and melodious music. Our producer (Yann Arnaud) tried to capture the emotion in studio with a lot of analog instruments without tricks. This album is our shelter where we reveal -ourselves completely and the door is open, come in. -Jérôme
