Flavien Berger occupies a genuinely strange corner of the French electronic underground, building dense, narrative-driven worlds that owe as much to literature and cinema as to any particular musical genre. Contre-Temps, his sophomore full-length, arrived in 2018 and deepened the cult following he'd built with Leviathan, confirming that his approach to synthesized sound and songwriting operates on its own timeline entirely. I think I make science-fiction music. I've long wanted to create an album about time travel-ever since I finished Léviathan, actually, back in August 2014. After that, I played concerts, met other musicians, sang to many new ears, and devoted myself entirely to music. And time changed.This album was composed between October 2016 and May 2018, an urgent year and a half.I imagine my albums as adventure stories. Here, it's a quest in reverse, the journey of a knight in a car listening to psychedelic R'n'B on the radio. Contre-Temps is a circuit album nourished by the fantastic, where impermanence meets the sensation of passing time-a tunnel through multiple dimensions.- Flavien Berger Tracklist 1.
