French producer Erwan Castex, better known as Rone , will release a new album in October called Tohu Bohu .InFiné in 2008, Castex has pushed a style of music that's as cinematic as it is melancholic. Tohu Bohu (French for "hurly burly") drops three years after his first LP, Spanish Breakfast . In the years since then, Castex has moved from Paris to Berlin, a change that he says affected his state of mind and creative process, if not his taste in music. He explains: Tohu Bohu was made entirely in Germany, I don't think I have been influenced by any of the music that gets played here, at Berghain say. But if it had been made in Paris, I think it would be a completely different album. I'm always a bit anxious, stressed out in Paris. In Berlin, I'm much calmer, far more relaxed. That's the kind of influence Berlin has been having on me, day after day, as a musician."La Femme a Cordes featured a soundtrack by Rone. Kouka designed the album's cover art and overall "visual identity," which you can see in the trailer below. Castex is also working on a visually enhanced live show with Studio Fünf, who produced the animated video for his 2011 track "So So So." Tracklist InFiné Music will release Tohu Bohu on October 15th, 2012 . 16 Comments
