2 by Outlines

Outlines “2"

10 years after the release of their first critically acclaimed album “Our Lives are too Short”, Outlines return with their second full length album entitled “2”.
The album was recorded between Paris (Studio Gang) and NY (36 Chambers Studio) and is fully analog, everything has been played by musicians, without a single synthesiser or sample.
The engineer of the album was Florien Lagata (Daft Punk) and the album was entirely co-produced by RZA (Wu Tang Clan).
“2” is a combination of all the musical genres enjoyed by Irfane and Jerome, from Soul to Hip Hop with a touch of Folk and electronic music.The recording process was influenced by their time working with Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack of the Vin Diesel blockbuster “ Babylon AD” directed by Mathieu Kassovitz.

Between the two albums Irfane and Jerome have kept themselves quite busy ; Irfane joining Thibault Berland for his Breakbot project, while Jerome spent a few years setting up an artist residency in Tuscany called “Villa Lena” where he collaborated on various musical projects such as production on the album “Farewell Starlite” by Francis and the Lights”.

“2” is a timeless album, a metaphor for the coming of age of the millennials, their fears and their hopes.
