After meeting The Mirror Stage with Alice, exchanging some tasty recipes with the American Frank Pahl (Music for desserts), and appearing in several compilations released by In Poly Sons, Klimperei gets back with a new concept album that we are proud to release ! It's a simple and popular concept which allows to create a great deal of stories and variations in the delicate music of the kranky Klimperei.

A young person is preparing to go to a party. The positive fever of the preparations, the pleasent anguish to find the place (the famous Salle Polyvalente), to search for friends to have fun and suddentlty some glances with somebody, a hope. It's the age at which all is possible, we say we'll meet again and we return home light-hearted. A banality that moves everybody, a story maybe without follow-up or with huge consequence.

The mechanical pop music based on melodica, keyboards and small percussions of Klimperei with its Pascal Comelade-like arrangements and its more synthetic and stirring pieces, illustrates wonderfully the seduction scenes and the variations of the feelings in this kind of parties.

With the echo of the cuckoo and the cock in the background, these short but swaying tracks will awaken your sensitiveness !

Lovingly daydreaming.
