Walking down the street with my hands in my pockets Staring at the sky and the sky's full of rockets We can't stop it, it just goes on without us Everything's the same just the uppers and the downers Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Come from the south used to know where the north is Used to go around, used to ride wild horses Flying round the planet just sucking up resources Digging in my pockets just counting out my losses I'm right here And I got nowhere to go I don't care Act like I never know I'm right here And I got nowhere to go I don't care Act like I never know Walking down the street with my hands in my pockets Staring at the sky and the sky's full of rockets We can't stop it, it just goes on without us Everything's the same just the uppers and the downers Come from the south used to know where the north is Used to go around, used to ride wild horses Flying round the planet just sucking up resources Digging in my pockets just counting out my losses Walking down the street with my hands in my pockets Staring at the sky and the sky's full of rockets We can't stop it, it just goes on without us Everything's the same just the uppers and the downers I'm right here And I got nowhere to go I don't care Act like I never know I'm right here I don't care I'm right here I don't care

I didn't know what I was doing 'til I was doing it I didn't know where I was going 'til I abused it I didn't know that I was there 'til I was out of there I rolled the dice but they took me back another year I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know that the city was a heart attack I'm at the station but I'm never gonna find the track I was surprised to see you standing in the cold A thousand miles just to tell me that I'm getting old I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know I didn't

Highly anticipated since their first EP, 51 Ways To Leave Your Lover, which broke its way into the hearts of all who heard it, Tristesse Contemporaine have perfected this magic by taking it all the way to the Parisian and French stages. Crystalline arpeggios, dreamy loops and whispered vocals create a world of destabilizing and refined emotions which carry a thrilling light to the darkened dancefloors. The trio of enigmatic donkey-masked singer, Maik, Leo on guitars and Narumi on synthesizers, trusted their minimalist melodies to the expert hands of DJ/producer, Pilooski. Romantic and flamboyant, arrogant and haunting, this first album imagines a world in chiaroscuro, where the electrical illuminations of shoegazing merge with electronic beats, with a heightened new wave sensitivity. Climb to the dark side of modern pop as you enter the fractured, hypnotic dance of Tristesse Contemporaine.
