We’re all broken here

Our title piece by Sonnee & Malaki plants us in our imperfections and expects us to crop up in something that belongs to us. Each of these tracks enthusiastically illuminates a spectral slice of the shards that make us who we are.

It bears repeating: we’re all broken here. The vibrant, energetic beat lifts a shattered spirit and paints every sonic shape.

Moitié • PI

Song mood: vibrant

It’s northern summer. The furnace of dog days [French: la canicule] subdues our daytime hours. As the sun sets, we spot bits of us dance in the twilight sky. Half of me is you. My moitié.

Disco Dancing • Payday

Song mood: dreamy

Sometimes we might get cast as the loser. Joy finds itself while dancing alone to some other generation’s beat. It’s disco dancing.

Loser • Jagwar Twin

Song mood: vibrant

I'm a loser. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Et alors? [So what?]

The electric guitar strings between Jagwar Twin’s hands plucks its way through sunshine and dreams. ”I’m a loser just like you!”
