Synapson are back with a very cool new video ahead of their new album Super 8 dropping on 22nd June. Souba has a crisp Gallic style matched against a subtle Latin element in the percussion. Lass guests on vocals, adding some sugar to the pair’s muscular production, applying some nuance to their emphatic style.
Formed in 2009, Synapson is comprised of French multi-instrumentalists Alexandre Chiere (keyboard, saxophone, beat and vocals) and Paul Cucuron (drums, scratch, record production and mixing). The duo are best known for their remake of Burkinabé singer-songwriter and musician Victor Démé song Djôn’maya renamed Djon Maya Maï and their original track All In You featuring Anna Kova. Both tracks charted in France at #12 and #10 respectively and are included in Synapson’s last album Convergence.
The album features an international cast with Mai-Lan from the M83 ‘s fame, Australia’s Holly (from Archive), UK’s Kaleem Taylor and L Marshall, Idyllwild (CA)’s Casey Abrams, Miami-born, Paris-based rapper Beat Assailant, Jamaica-born, South East London-based Taneisha Jackson, French fellows Tim Dup, Tessa B. and Blasà (from Haute duo) and Senegalese singer/songwriter Lass among others.
