Plein Sommeil

Description

Ten years after their last collaboration, Jacques Duvall and Benjamin Schoos release *Plein Sommeil*, a duo album that is at once melancholic, ironic, and tender, a poetic mirror of the modern world's weariness. Lio, Chamfort, and Daho's iconic lyricist meets the indie pop producer and sonic adventurer of Freaksville in a generational union as improbable as it is obvious. Between Brussels and Paris, they weave songs about slowness, worn-out love, and resistance through gentleness. The album, which blends original creations and delicate covers (The Kinks, Higelin, Daho), evokes a sensual and lucid refuge from the overheating of daily life. Recorded with Bertrand Burgalat, the Loved Drones, and sumptuous strings, *Plein Sommeil* champions a handcrafted and timeless aesthetic. Its motto: "Slow business," a manifesto against contemporary speed and emptiness. Each track, between irony and elegance, celebrates fragility and humanity.
