We had the pleasure of collaborating with Olivier Rocabois on his latest album, transforming his bold and dreamlike vision into a unique visual universe. Inspired by his imaginative brief, we crafted a concept that melds cosmic and tender elements, capturing the album’s essence.

Starting with a cherished photograph of the Olivier’s wife, we reimagined it with warmth and a touch of extravagance to reflect the album’s vibrant energy.

Stepping into Rocabois’s world meant embracing daring melodies and wild creativity, his “gentle madness and ambitious dreaminess” (Le Monde)

“A magnificent pop exercise by a Breton inspired by Bowie and Brian Wilson.”

Libération

“There is, in Rocabois, a gentle madness, an extravagance in the way he shakes up melodies, both carefree and deeply ambitious in its degree of dreaminess.”

Le Monde

“Olivier Rocabois, an anglophile and independent couturier of 2024 French-made pop, returns to the table and rekindles the chandeliers for those curious to discover the missing link between the art of Divine Comedy and that of a pre-Ziggy Bowie turned Bee Gees frontman.”
