Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a direct thematic sequel to 2009's 'Pr茅liminaires', the punk rock icon dives even deeper into his profound appreciation for Francophone culture and traditional vocal standards. The project consists entirely of covers, interpreting classics from Edith Piaf and Serge Gainsbourg alongside unexpected selections like Frank Sinatra. The album was notably self-released after being rejected by his label, highlighting his enduring desire to defy artistic expectations.
