Our first album (mainly) in the French language. We recorded it in Prague, and released it through Australian label False Peak Records. It is about key moments of normal lives. It sounds more electronic than usual, but was actually largely created from wildlife recordings played through granular synthetizers. The actual electronic instruments are analogue and noisy, which makes them sound more organic and alive than the animal-made sounds. This album is a bit like a continuation of the previous album's ending track « Alpha ». By the way, both « Alpha » and « Proxima » are space missions involving French astronaut and ecologist Thomas Pesquet. Ecology and technology, animal samples and synths, Alpha and Proxima… can they coexist?

We wrote this one in Prague. « Between a Dog and a Wolf » is the literal translation of a French idiom that refers to the moment when you can't tell whether the day has ended or the night has started. It is a black and white album, a compilation of mixed feelings, post-apocalyptic dreams and happy nightmares. It starts with Crépuscule – the end of the day – and ends with Alpha – the beginning of everything. It is an album about uncertainty, and moving on.

01// When you are all dressed up and have nowhere to go
We wrote this album between 2011 and 2012 in England. We were living in a tiny apartment in a big city with no trees. The result is an intimate and synthetic album, full of ghosts and vague memories, which we used to play live with our English drummer Chris Chubb.

We wrote this album mainly in Spain and in Portugal, in various places ranging from spaghetti western filming locations to Bagdad Cafés-looking service stations. We were spending a lot of time driving and sleeping in the car at the time. Making this album was our main activity on the way, and each song is connected to a particular place and time. We wanted it to be a road trip album, so it was mastered so it sounds better in a car.
