Originally released in January 2020, WHERE IS THE DOPAMINE??? is my first release under the alias Fructose Father (name was picked because of a joke). 
A 20 minute album roughly composed and produced with an old laptop, in a foggy London, moistened with miscellaneous influences such as noise rock, cold wave or trip hop. 
During these uncertain times, I started to move away from my experimental and improvisation work to create a more accessible and direct music, but still reflecting all my inspirations and interests at the time. 
It gave this electronic chimera, howling about sweaty venues, S&M nights and expensive rents, seeking for truth or self-awareness. 
Fructose Father expresses urgently hardship & self growth with few means (computer/guitar/mic). A cynical yet benevolent quest for progress. Yours, mine, its.

WHERE IS THE DOPAMINE

[GD004]
PREORDER : https://ghostdancetapes.bandcamp.com/album/carmentran

Duration 18'51"
Release June 12th 2024

From the still incandescent log, a souvenir can be reconstructed.
It is sometimes possible to feel spiritual entities through the sound spectrum.

There is no singer in the room, but a transmitter playing voices of many beings from different ages.
During this absence, heavily fuzzed guitars, dusty pads and flickering basslines enter into a quietly sharp communication.
Overhead, symphonies of enchantment and distant flutes mingle with the soft murmur of the wind.

We remember the boy who jumped over the flames
We reminisce the disguises and rituals
We recall the copper horn singing with the drums

Written, produced and edited by Brahim Lumière & Guillaume Lamorte

He Needs me (Shelley Duvall cover)

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."
