College returns with its third full length album, a rich, glowing and nostalgic synth-based offering reminiscent of previous works heard in `A Real Hero' (Drive Soundtrack), but at the same time exploring a unique and conceptual world, `Shanghai', giving College's textural and atmospherical works a brand new dimension.

Shanghai is an album inspired by the city itself - its culture and architecture; how it is a melting pot of many things.

Musically he draws on 90's sounds and the work from artists including Mark Snow, Angelo Badalamenti, Joe Hisaishi and Aphex Twin.

On the record, Grellier explains: "This record is a mysterious ballad in the heart of 1920s Shanghai...

An invitation to travel, a tribute to the refinement and in the delicacy of a fantasized and blurry period of time, which fed the imagination of the musicians, the artists and the architects of this mythical city.

Young chinese singer Hama, a Shanghai native, also honors me by singing on the title 'Love Peas'.

Vinyl pressed on gold vinyl, housed in spined sleeve with gold foil lettering and artwork.

Digital download card included. CD housed in a digipack CD.
