The first track of a lockdown-induced collaboration in 2020, "Pressure" was written in Brussels where I was living in the late 80’s, we re-discovered it & finally pieced it together. In fact, a post by Florent on his Facebook page, …"Need drums? » which I understood as "Need songs?" was the start of it all.... In his typical enthusiastic mood Flo said of course, yeah, let's go... So I dived into a suitcase full of dusty demo tapes & unearthed a lot of tunes we could work on (in order not to go too crazy in these strange days). Many will follow, made possible through the internet "Ping pong" technique, I would send a demo track, get a drums & bass track in return & then add guitars & voices, you'd put some keyboards on, finish & mix it, (I live in France, he's in Brooklyn)… Hope you'll like this one, it's very him, & very me as our good friend Jérôme says, & let's not forget creative corrections by Elliott Roberts for the lyrics. Enjoy.
