Tramps like us,baby we were born to run.

Monday we'll start a week of rehearsals,the last ones before leaving for Chicago,where we'll try to record the whole 18 tracks in two weeks,with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio.
The crew for that record will be Antoine Pinet,Patrice Coeytaux,Jp Maillard et Jonathan Morali.
This is all getting very exciting. We'll update that blog,as much as possible,during the sessions.

Lundi,nous attaquons une semaine de résidence au grand complet avant le départ à Chicago. Dernières répétitions des 18 titres,que nous allons tenter de tous mettre en boite avec Steve Albini,la deuxième quinzaine de Janvier,à l'Electrical Studio.
L'équipe pour ce disque se compose de: Antoine Pinet,Patrice Coeytaux,Jp Maillard et Jonathan Morali.
Nous sommes fort impatients. Et nous ne manquerons pas de tenir un journal de bord détaillé de l'enregistrement sur ce blog.

Mellotron

We can't wait to play with that vintage machine.
Nous sommes impatients de jouer avec ça

Out of the darkness,and into the fire

How lucky we are. On the day we arrive in Chicago,The Walkmen are playing their 10th anniversary concert at The Metro. These guys have class,and they happen to sound like that,even in a basement on small amps. One of the finest NYC rock bands. Nice.

Pennyroyal Tea

Here's a little funny video where you can see the Studio A,at Electrical Audio,where we'll record our album in one month now,and the owner of the Studio explaining weird guitar pedals theories,on stilts.

Voici une petite vidéo,ou l'on peut voir le Studio A de l'Electrical Audio,ou nous enregistrerons notre prochain album,dans un mois maintenant, et le propriétaire des lieux,développant d'étranges théories sur une pédale d'effet,sur des échasses.

Dreamtigers

Haunting words by José Luis Borgès,out of Two English Poems.


I offer you whatever insight my books may hold,whatever manliness or humour my life
I offer you the loyalty of a man who's never been loyal
I offer you that kernel of myself,that i have saved somehow__ The central heart that deals not in words,traffics not with dreams,and is untouched by time,by joy,by adversities.
I offer you explanations of yourself,theories about yourself,authentic and surprising news about yourself.
I can give you my loneliness,my darkness,the hunger of my heart;i am trying to bribe you with uncertainty,with danger,with defeat.

I'm gonna change your life
