"freedom-from constraints, from preconceptions, and from genre."
"Sometimes an audience wants to be told, what is this? And I'm refusing to do that. You can find great things in music when you open up to real listening. No one needs to be told 'what something is', otherwise why would we be making something so straightforward?"
Alexis Taylor returns with his seventh solo album, Paris in the Spring, due March 13 via Night Time Stories. Most of the album was recorded at Nicolas Godin's studio in Paris. The record features contributions from the Avalanches, Étienne de Crécy, Pierre Rousseau (Paradis), Ewan Pearson, Elizabeth White (Pale Blue), and Green Gartside (Scritti Politti). The lead single 'Out of Phase' features Lola Kirke and has a music video starring Taylor, Kirke, and mannequins. Themes center on freedom from constraints, preconceptions, and genre, and on encouraging open listening rather than fixed labels. The album includes a guest appearance by Green Gartside on 'On a Whim.'
