After the recent release of the single "Les Hiboux Remix" which sanctioned the closure of the first cycle of the artist's production, Kaouenn returns with a new single that anticipates the content of the album scheduled for the Autumn. The result of the last four years of migrations, transfers, changes of life and intimate evolutions of the author, is a hallucinated and lysergic electro-samba trip, strongly marked by the use of percussion and guitars, a chasing of tribalisms and space trips, a sort of "hypnagogic imagined South" in the wake of a certain contemporary/not contemporary occult psychedelia (Can, Popol Vuh, Ninos Du Brasil, Peaking Lights, The Lay Llamas, C'mon Tigre).
