What's on this record? "It's a reflection of what's going on in my head, a reflection of my tastes: it's sometimes simple, sometimes complex, often contradictory.sometimes simple, sometimes complex, often contradictory.It's my certainties, my doubts, my anger, my sadness, my disillusioned laughter, but also all that's left but also all the hope I have left in the face of what surrounds me, what is falling apart, what is still standing once again put into words and music.
It's my music library put through the grinder and the juice extractor: from noisy rock to heavy hip, from freestyle guitar to primitive riffs of analogical synths riffs."
