HARDCORE TROBADORS

2004

6 songs, jointly composed, arranged and played by our French friends HURLEMENTS D’LÉO and us. Again we hired a studio in Berlin, and this time spent three weeks with 20 musicians cooped up in Berlin, bang in the middle of summer. The six tracks were then exclusively released on the Wagram label in France (also available in the 17 Hippies shop).
The 12″ single is an impulsive mixture of the traditions of both groups: urban, Eastern European and chansonésque.
