A ROOM OUTSIDE

Description

After a highly acclaimed first EP, driven by the success of the single "Purple," the Parisian quartet Retriever releases its much-anticipated debut album. Across 10 gentle and sophisticated tracks, "A Room Outside" flirts with pop dreams, showcasing a beautiful sense of groove and clear, welcoming sonic architectures. Marked by a very organic songwriting approach, "A Room Outside" conjures the West Coast vibe of the Beach Boys and cool jazz, illuminated by sounds inherited from French touch. A lesson in pop with a languid sway. The result is so far removed from their usual playground, at the boundaries of folk and rock, that a change of identity became essential. Retriever was born and, as its name suggests, it will be gentle, playful, faithful, and serene. From immediate hits to more downtempo tracks, an intoxicating and rare fragrance emerges, characteristic of albums found at the junction of sophistication and obviousness, exploration and discovery, risk and comfort. Like a pop ideal.
