The preceding singles, "Souvent Parfois," "Heavy Metal," and "This New Phase," are among the first to be released, and all of the songs are dreamy in their synth tones but restrained and minimal in their melodies and songs, while the rhythms are complex and percussive, with a distinctive slow and steady pace. The music is full of a mysterious, experimental mood that will leave you breathless with a sense of urgency reminiscent of punk or free jazz, even though it is electronic in nature.This is unique!
