Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the lead single and accompanying EP for their highly celebrated 'Emperor Tomato Ketchup', this release perfectly crystalizes their cinematic lounge-pop sound. The title track features intricate string arrangements that swell above steady motorik drumming and L忙titia Sadier's lilting French vocals. The collection represents the absolute apex of their sophisticated, analog-heavy pop sensibilities.
