The lyrics from these songs have been retained, with radically new musical arrangements developed and performed by \u003cstrong\u003eAstrïd\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSylvain Chauveau\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is carefully balanced between fragility and strength, charting a patient and resonant course through a series of haunting moods. \u003cstrong\u003eAstrïd\u003c\/strong\u003e was founded in 1997 by Cyril Secq and Yvan Ros as a guitar\/drums duo. The group subsequently expanded and settled around the violin player Vanina Andreani (1998), followed by the clarinet player Guillaume Wickel (2005).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWickel sadly died in 2022, and the record is dedicated to Guillaume. The core of the group is based in Nantes, France. \u003cstrong\u003eAstrïd\u003c\/strong\u003e's instrumental and expansive music has been inspired by improvised music, folk, post-rock, and jazz, as well as by classical and contemporary composers, from Ravel to Arvo Pärt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSylvain Chauveau\u003c\/strong\u003e has released numerous records on labels such as FatCat, Sub Rosa, Type, Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier, Brocoli, Flau: minimal, quiet compositions for acoustic instruments, electronics, silences, and sometimes voice. The CD packaging was conceived by visual artists Alix Petit and Julien Nédélec across a 6-panel gatefold sleeve, 12-page CD booklet, and CD sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir artwork references the artwork from the albums where the original songs appeared. Julien and Alix printed the original album sleeves, then used a wet paintbrush to isolate areas of the cover artwork, reversed the prints then quickly photographed the results. In some ways, these abstracted versions of the original album covers mirror the relationship between the original songs and the new cover versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracks:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Video Games\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\"Machine Gun\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\"Dambala\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\"Everything Is Free\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\"Bang Bang\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\"Running Up That Hill\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"False Walls","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51778169995595,"sku":"R2858-1258","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/p_9118b51b-11d7-4849-a28e-6944e7ce5bb7.jpg?v=1746552679"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/astrid-and-sylvain-chauveau.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
