ASTRÏD & SYLVAIN CHAUVEAU, review:
"Running Up That Hill transforms into an escalation of ether: Kate Bush's obsession rises here in a spectral, almost disembodied clarity."

ASTRÏD & SYLVAIN CHAUVEAU, review:
"Video Games [Lana del Ray] stretches like a slow-motion memory, a Polaroid that fades the more you look at it."

ASTRÏD & SYLVAIN CHAUVEAU, review:
"Machine Gun becomes a shadowy pulse, martial and flickering, as if Portishead's voice were passing through a cloud of dust."

new review:
"Astrïd and Chauveau didn't cover these songs: they opened them ... That's the power of this album: it creates visions ... It is an atlas of sound ghosts, a map of possibilities, an invitation to listen differently."
