about

Brilliantly combining the art of sound design with unforgettable songwriting, Montréal-based synth-pop duo Automelodi is back with their third full-length Mirages au futur verre-brisé out May 3, 2019. As an established and respected staple of the international community of underground hardware enthusiasts, Automelodi is led by the inspiring studio engineering and magnetic persona of singer/producer Xavier Paradis. Showcasing his master ability to design infectious rhythms, rich bass lines, and brooding hooks, Automelodi expertly crafts a listlessly romantic aesthetic embodied by Paradis’ dynamic voice and eloquent French lyrics. Automelodi’s focus on color and arrangement converges taste and technique, making Mirages au futur verre-brisé deeply engaging for both party-goers and analog synth connoisseurs alike.

lyrics

De lames affilées
Visions en formes
Au royaume de ses
Seules héritières
À leurs hôtels
D’aluminium
À leurs nacelles
On les voit perchées

Quel métro jusqu’à
La voix d’aérostat
Que jouent, précieuses
Tes lèvres en plongée?
Du grand mât
D’un vaisseau en voiles
Plus noires que l’argent
Filtrant via l’Orient

Les regards insolents
Les regards in-sulants

Mais quel ferry vogue
Vers ce talon
De plexiglas
Colosse glissant
De toute évidence
Tel un iceberg
Vers le surplace?

Travelling avant
Vers le bout du quai
Baptême ou noyade
D’une feuille vierge
Trop bu la brise
Morte à Venise

De Babels costumées
Visions en formes
Pour tous les pions tragiques
Face à l’impériale
Capitale des rêves
En forme de cages
D’ascenseur vides

Mais d’ascenseurs libres
