A Stranger Paradise

I just remember the album was a serious joke. A joke because originally I wanted to criticize the stereotypes of “french cold wave” (”grey” being the cliché of cold wave). But it was then a serious project as art surrounded the joke to create & experiment my own anti-formula. Slap bass is generally “cool” or quite “fun” music. My will was to make sad and chill the “funk” technique for instance. The title was a deconstruction about the “grey” stereotype in cold wave. I tried to use and deform the cold aesthetic to find my own, thanks to a mix of toy synthesizers and chill basses.
