about

12 tracks which defy all attempts at categorization : Hector Zazou and Sandy Dillon have freed themselves from all restraints and conventions. They clearly sound like two artists seized by creative euphoria. They've broken every rule in the book… Rhythms, tempos, song structures, sounds and textures are twisted and stretched.
Zazou seems to have been working more like a movie director, and has been freely manipulating all the ingredients that normally make up a piece of music in order to use them to their dramatic best. Unexpected and brilliant slabs of horn or percussion arrangements appear from time to time to punctuate Sandy Dillon's supernatural vocal renditions of her ferociously ironic texts, and even the seemingly most serious moments of the album are infused with playfulness and with a corrosive sense of humour.

Contains a.o. a rendition of Captain Beefheart's "Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles".

Featuring Christian Lechevretel & Renaud Pion (on woodwinds & brass), guitarists Marc Ribot, Justin Adams (Brian Eno, Sinead O'Connor) and Porl Thompson (ex-Cure), drummer Bill Rieflin (Ministry, Nine Inch Nails), bass player Daniel Yvinec, and more. Mixed by inimitable Peter Walsh (who produced the latest Scott Walker albums), assisted by Florentine engineer Lorenzo Tommasini.
