Jacques Duvall / Benjamin Schoos - Plein Sommeil (LP)

Ten years after their last collaboration, Jacques Duvall and Benjamin Schoos return with Plein Sommeil, a duo album that is at once melancholic, ironic, and tender-a poetic mirror of the fatigue of the modern world.The legendary lyricist for Lio, Chamfort, and Daho meets the indie pop producer and sonic adventurer of Freaksville, in a generational union as improbable as it is natural.Between Brussels and Paris, they weave songs about slowness, worn-out love, and resistance through gentleness.Blending original compositions and delicate covers (The Kinks, Higelin, Daho), the album evokes a sensual and lucid refuge amid the overheating of everyday life.Recorded with Bertrand Burgalat, The Loved Drones, and lush string arrangements, Plein Sommeil embraces a handcrafted, timeless aesthetic.It's motto: "Slow business" - a manifesto against the speed and emptiness of contemporary times.Each song, balancing irony and elegance, celebrates fragility and humanity.
