The track is from their immersive new album of the same name
A collaboration between John Beckmann’s Mortal Prophets and Anaïs de Nerval, their new album French Summer is an intoxicatingly cool and thoughtful collection of tracks that has a unique, avant-garde appeal to it that feels genre-defying and affirming in its approach.
A track that encapsulates this appeal is its title track ‘French Summer’, coming seven tracks in to its 18 track run and oozing the kind of laid-back, cool charm that the project embodies. Lavish and intricate in the way that it slowly builds and creates a sense of tension, the spoken French vocals have an arresting and almost hypnotic quality to them, both sophisticated and seductive, haunting and inviting. It is just a taste of an album that is packed full of broad sonic ideas and textures, but this coolness and sense of composure is here to stay, and it makes for a listening experience that has its own distinctive DNA and memorable appeal.
