H2O is not only the fourth album from the duo formed by Mira Romantschuk and Laurent Leclere. It is also the story of an encounter which blossoms musically and poetically over each song unfolding us into space and settling through time. A history of masks, masks of a strange and powerful carnival ... No explanations needed, witness the few words reflecting the spirit of haiku. Sparkling songs that know instinctively how to give its due to sobriety and silence.

H2O is a resolutely European work, entirely composed, recorded and produced by their own care for six months, between Spain and Finland. "Here we are" was described by the duo to have been born one night like this, a moment of magic, a flash manifesto for life.

H2O is especially the witness of a transformation between the organic and the digital, which extends through the experience of the previous album "If Beauty is a Crime", dedicated to film music composer François de Roubaix.

H2O is the universal symbol of water, universal chemical element, the element that is inside each one of us, but also outside of us, part of the whole, and constitutive of the whole. Its road multitudinous.

H2O is everywhere. Essential to life, indispensable to life, vital to life, indissociable from life. It sits near and distant in the echo of each language that adorn the abyss of the world.

H2O is a metaphor, a journey, its reality is amazingly simple. Its great strength is its inherent consistency, where feelings of serenity and absolute emerge.

H2O is also fascinatingly uncut, blameless, mastered, refined and dazzlingly visual.

With H2O, Mi And L'Au have without any doubt delivered a new masterpiece. Paradoxically, their most radical album up to date but with an easier access, clearer but more searched, more surgical but also warmer, stripped down but strong, violent and bright.

The genius of their work is to create and deliver something totally new and exciting: difficult to distinguish their influences. With its goldsmith's trade, H2O puts Mi And L'Au on the map amongst the major bands of our time. Those who experiment and dare to loose themselves without giving up the idea that we must give a meaning to this life.

Mi and l'Au: 'Fly Together'

"It’s time for a new philosophy, folks. One based on, yes, the principles of Jesus which were love your brother as yourself because, you know what?, he *is* yourself. Literally. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! We are literally all one. Okay. The body is an illusion, cuz God doesn’t create things that can be destroyed — cuz he’s God! Dig it? We have miscreated this world. It’s a dream. What’s that old song? Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. You see, we knew it as children. We forgot it since."
Bill Hicks

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather."

Almost one year after its release, Mi And L'Au﻿ masterpiece' 'H2O' got a twin: an instrumental journey into the deepest electronic poetry, full of haunting melodies and warped classical instruments. It also comes with a very 'Twin Peaks' remix of 'More Than We Can Say' by To You Mom: 

The genius of Mira Romantschuk and Laurent Leclere is to create and deliver something totally new and exciting: difficult to distinguish their influences. Sparkling songs that know instinctively how to give its due to sobriety and silence. With its goldsmith's trade, H2O and its instrumental version put Mi And L'Au on the map amongst the major bands of our time. Those who experiment and dare to lose themselves without giving up the idea that we must give a meaning to this life.

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."
