First of all, I always love your music. "Cidre Brut" has a really nice, off-kilter sound to it. In some ways it reminds me of late-60s instrumental pop music teetering on a highwire. [drunk on hard cidre, maybe?] You've really hit a nice balance between familiar and whacked. It all comes out sounding like the aural equivalent of early-70s inflatable and perspex furniture. That's a good thing.

I appreciated the video -- I like the combination of suburban/family imagery -- but you can go further, I think. In fact, I think the video only really comes together with the music at the end, with the tempo increase and the use of the dancing family in distorted negative.

Great stuff.

Another great track Bittermandel! =D>
I agree with Johnny Lenin. It captures the vibe of the 60's yet somehow it also sounds modern. Is the synth in this song cs-10? are the drums live recordings or loops?
