The garden

Description

The surprise return with a new album of lush groove. Among the first generation of DJs, producers, and artists who elevated the French electronic scene to a global level in the 90s/2000s, there is one who deliberately took the opposite approach to the usual practices in this era of exponential acceleration and constant overproduction. With a debut album released in 2001 on the legendary label F Communications (Mr.Oizo, Laurent Garnier, Saint-Germain, etc.), "Newcomer" (200,000 records sold) was followed by three years of touring with his band at the biggest festivals around the world. Abandoning the jazz and house of the first album, "The Garden" dazzles with the elegance of its string arrangements and the mastery of its basslines. It also captivates with the naturalness with which each of the guest vocals blends with the music. Then, after a few listens, it becomes increasingly addictive and reveals a palette of emotions that are both festive ("You," "All We Ever Have") and sensual ("Addiction Days," "Wonderwhy," or "All Right"), to name just a few. All of this intertwines in a breathtaking melodic suite!
