Delphine Dora & Half Asleep<\/a>. Together, the French and Belgian musicians crafted an album of startling pop songs, with classical, experimental and contemporary influences, taking an obvious pleasure in their collaboration while seeking to push forward the boundaries of their respective universes. For this new project, they spent a week together in Southern France, 5 days of which they dedicated to the composition and recording of the album\u2019s 13 songs. During the session, they invoked the literary spectres of playwright Sarah Kane, writer Janet Frame, famous wife and letter-writer Zelda Fitzgerald, or of Beckett\u2019s fictional character Molloy, making central to their musical peregrinations the theme of mental alienation, a topic they each in their non-music-related lives devoted several years of research to. The result is a spontaneous and somewhat heterogeneous collection of songs centred on the piano and vocal, and that will take the listener to a variety of enchanted, amusing or terrifying places.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<a href=“http:\/\/delphinedora.bandcamp.com\/album\/youre-not-mad-youre-just-lonely” data-mce-href=“http:\/\/delphinedora.bandcamp.com\/album\/youre-not-mad-youre-just-lonely”>You’re not mad, you’re just lonely by Half Asleep &amp; Delphine Dora<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
