the Delight
This new opus traverses a rich landscape of electro, rock and cinematic elements, just like the band does best. Each song is a reflection on hope and life's struggles, dealing as much with the illusions of adolescence and resilience as with the bittersweet echoes of a new-found love.
From the electrifying rock anthem “Free Trip” to the introspective beauty of “the Delight”, this six-track EP showcases the duo's versatility and ability to create music that is both conceptually rich and sonically fascinating. ‘The Fight’ is a scream, while ‘Baby Queen’ celebrates the power of youth. The EP closes with “A Door Opens”, an introspective journey that offers hope in the midst of chaos.
There's again this typical mix of electronic sounds, of sometimes raw, sometimes fragile guitars and of cinematic textures that have been with the band from the start.
Composed and recorded by Fred Bonnier and Vincent Agache in their own studios, “the Delight” is a demonstration of the duo's musicality and their ability to weave a tapestry of diverse influences, from the epic grandeur of Arcade Fire to the electronic elegance of Daft Punk. It's a must-listen for music lovers and fans of alternative rock and contemporary music alike.
Grab a bucket, hit the street,
Revolution's mine, ain't got no beat.
Screaming loud, but what's the aim?
Just a fool playing a pointless game.
Empty buckets and empty minds,
Searching for something we cannot find.
Stomping feet, and shouts of rage,
But it's all just a silly stage.
No cause, no reason, just a howling scream,
A futile rebellion, a gogo dream.
But still, I howl, in my own parade,
In this absurdity, I've made my trade.
Free trip, on my own,
Lost in a world and all alone.
Free trip, on my own,
Lost in a world and all alone.
Rise again, we're not alone
In your strength, we find our own
Even now, through the pain
We'll hold on, we’ll remain
The fight’s not done, we still believe
In every breath, in every beat
Hold on strong, don’t let go
Feel the power in your name
Through the storm, we’ll fight the same
We are here, hand in hand
We rise together, we stand
The fight’s not done, we still believe
In every breath, in every beat
We’ve got the light, we’ll glow
We’ll glow
We’ll glow
We’ll glow
We’ll glow
We rise, we burn, we shine, we fight
Through the dark, we chase the light
We met again, in the twilight's soft glow,
Memories like whispers, from so long ago.
Eyes that once sparkled, now dimmed with the years,
Tainted by my fears.
The delight, the delight, of seeing you again,
Turns to dismay, as I remember when,
All the flaws, all the scars, they reappear,
Everything that led me away, still so near.
We sit in silence, where words used to flow,
Echoes of laughters, from a long time ago.
I try to resist, but it's all in vain.
You laugh the same way, but it echoes in vain,
Promises broken, bring back the old pain.
I thought we had grown, but the seeds of the past,
Have once again sown.
The delight, the delight, of seeing you again,
Turns to dismay, as I remember when,
All the flaws, all the scars, they reappear,
Everything that led me away, still so near.
So we part once more, with a bitter goodbye,
A longing for something, that makes me ask why.
The delight, the delight, fades with the dawn,
And the friendship we cherished, is forever gone.
The delight, the delight !
The delight, the delight !
Golden rays through morning steam
She’s a keeper of bright dreams
Quick wit hidden in her glow
Bringing life where shadows go
Graceful steps, she carves her way
Through the echoes of yesterday
Baby Queen, so full of life
Turning shadows into light
Her golden heart, her steady flame
She’s everything the world should be
Whispers flow at crowded halls
Future calls, her voice enthralls
No disguise, her truth takes flight
Living bold in endless light
Baby Queen, so full of life
Turning shadows into light
Her golden heart, her steady flame
She’s everything the world should be
Baby Queen, so full of light
Turning shadows into life
Her golden heart, her steady flame
She’s everything the world should be
Oh, Baby Queen, in her faded jeans,
Making plans and chasing dreams.
With a laugh that's loud and a heart that's light,
Oh, Baby Queen, in her worn-out jeans,
With a twinkle in her eye and a casual grace
Oh, Baby Queen
With a twinkle in her eye and a casual grace,
Oh Baby jeans
Baby Queen, in her faded jeans
Making plans oh
and chasing dreams.
Baby Queen, in her worn-out jeans,
Making plans oh
and chasing dreams.
Baby Queen, in her faded jeans
Making plans oh
and chasing dreams.
Baby Queen, in her worn-out jeans,
Coffee dates and city scenes.
Fumbling through the haze,
Grasping at elusive ways.
Disappointment's silent swell,
In the void where answers dwell.
A doorway creaks ajar,
Time's relentless avatar.
Caught in myths we can't define,
Ennui merges with the line.
Whispers of deceit collide,
Metaphors in fragments lie,
Amidst the chaos, a flicker gleams,
Reviving hopes from shattered dreams.
In abstract notes, we find our grace,
Lost in the vastness of time,
Of time's embrace.
