Plein Sommeil’

Description

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.
Its motto: “Slow business” — a manifesto against the speed and emptiness of
contemporary times.
Each song, balancing irony and elegance, celebrates fragility and humanity.
