Album Notes & Community Reviews

Often cited as the French equivalent to Frank Zappa, the eccentric composer delivers an incredibly intricate mix of avant-prog complexity and playful chamber pop. The music features bizarre tape manipulation, absurdly rapid vocal phrasing, and heavily syncopated horn arrangements. Translating to 'Coloring Book', the record is celebrated for its distinctly joyful, chaotic approach to experimental chanson.
