Never Held a Baby - Featuring Peter Broderick

Arnaud Rebotini DJ Set, Fête de la Musique Olympia Paris avec France Inter

Since the release of their debut album Idol Omen in 2009, Glass Ghost's founding members Eliot Krimsky and Michael Johnson have kept busy.  In addition to playing dozens of shows, including a tour with White Rabbits, Johnson joined Dirty Projectors as their new drummer, Krimsky has been collaborating with Here We Go Magic on keys, and the duo welcomed two new members to the group, Tyler Wood on keyboards and percussion, and Aerial East on vocals.  Like their debut, LYFE was produced by Tyler Wood, who also produced Joan As Policewoman’s 2014 album The Classic.  For the LYFE recording sessions, the group recruited many of their friends to contribute, including Joan Wasser of Joan As Policewoman, Nat Baldwin of Dirty Projectors, and Christopher Tignor of Slow Six and Wires Under Tension.  Pushing their songs to new levels by working with Brooklyn's musical elite is nothing new for Glass Ghost.  They worked with more than a dozen of their friends from Brooklyn's music community, including Sharon Van Etten (who in 2011 noted “Eliot Krimsky is one of my favorite writers.”), Here We Go Magic's Luke Temple, and Matt Iwanusa of Caveman, for their debut which was described by the New Yorker as “elegant compositions of frosted indie pop,” and by Time Out New York as “weird and mournful yet highly rhythmic."

“Eliot Krimsky is one of my favorite writers.  His left hand is hip hop, his right hand is jazz, and his lyrics are beat.”
– SHARON VAN ETTEN

Duellum

Named after a poem by Charles Baudelaire, these four frenchmen, former-londoners, only compose bouncy and addictive tunes.

After their first 5-songs EP « For Some Reasons I Want To Talk » was released in December 2011, they have been pacing many prestigious venues in Paris (Solidays festival, Grande Halle de la Vilette, Bus Palladium, Petit Bain, Batofar, 114), London (Proud Camden, Queen of Hoxton…) and were aired by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6.

Their second EP, Drift, was released on february 25th 2013. With this new release, Duellum is drifting from a very enthousiastic indie-rock to much more bouncy electronic sounds. Drift is the meeting point between european indie-pop (Wild Beasts, Foals, Casiokids, the Whitest Boy Alive, Errors), unexpected roots such as African world music (Ali Farka Touré,Salif Keita Toumani Diabaté, Ballake Sissoko) or contemporary minimalism (Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Michael Nyman). 

The refreshing pineapple featured on the cover refers to the atmosphere in which the band composed this EP, but is also a first clue of the sunny and invigorating feelings we get from the first listening. Fancy a trip to the tropics ?

bisous !
