French electro trio Minitel Rose is back in the game. Two years after their critically acclaimed first album, gerontologist The French Machine (Futur, 2008), Raphael, Romain and Quentin have teamed up with K7! Records for their sophomore release Atlantique.

Simple but sophisticated; Retro; Futurist; Positive; Romantic – just a few of the words that come to mind when describing Minitel Rose’s sound. Falling somewhere between rock and dance (the band loves rock drums and dance synths), Atlantique was composed largely in a rented house overlooking the ocean in Quentin’s hometown of Pornic, France. “We wanted to get an album composed in a special place during a special period, in a special time of our life,” Quentin says. “It’s very important for us to be in an atypical place to compose, we are always inspired by what we can see searching for a melody in front of the sea is different that in a big town or in a desert.”
