RONE

The third and most accomplished album to date from Rone - a reflection of quiet open spaces, sun, shadow, electronic sparks and acoustic beauty. Rone’s tracks are short stories with a distinctly optimistic energy, presenting a soundworld where machines express themselves without constraint at any moment. Previous albums ‘Spanish Breakfast’ (2009) and ‘Tohu Bohu’ (2012) allowed the listener to discover a sensitive artist overflowing with creativity, enthusiasm and personality. While ‘Tohu Bohu’showed an organisation of Rone’s ‘personal chaos’, conceiving this new album was a resolutely collaborative experience reflected in an illustrious cast of guest artists including Bryce Dessner, François & The Atlas Mountains, Etienne Daho, Sea Oleena and more. In Europe he has played some of biggest festivals - Sonar, Dour, Pukkelpop - as well as a sell out show at the legendary Olympia in Paris. “I really wanted ‘Creatures’ to be an album less focused on me,” he admits. “More open to external contributions and conceived almost collectively. Strangely enough, I still feel like it’s the most intimate of my albums.”
