Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released shortly after their masterpiece 'Emperor Tomato Ketchup', this vibrant collection perfectly bridges their driving motorik rhythms with incredibly lush, cinematic orchestrations. The prominent use of string sections, vibraphones, and intricate brass arrangements elevates the French-English vocal harmonies to new, sophisticated heights. It showcases the highly prolific avant-pop collective operating at the absolute peak of their compositional prowess.
