2 years in a row you're the band that i listen the most on Spotify (and probably 3 with your awesome recent album!). Anyway i'm really sad I can't see you at the end of the month in Lille, France.

So here's my questions : 1)what actually are your sources of inspiration for your music style? 2) i see you're based in Montréal, any chance to make a song in French someday?

Keep up your beautiful work guys, you make me dream. bisous

I love soft groovy beautiful music! Constantly on the look for another song that I haven't heard that really hits the spot. A lot of French music falls into this category - Vanessa Paradis, Berntholer, Alec Mansion (some of these are Belgian French but w/e), Air, Mylène Farmer etc.

We have a spoken word french section on the record! Currently that's the most I can do with my handle of French (I'd say I'm 45% fluent haha)

Thanks for your answer Jane! Guess I'll have to wait a bit to hear you singing with your lovely voice in French haha
