Two weeks ago we were more than excited to host the premiere for Feu Follet‘s ‘Mi-Bête Mi-Forêt‘. Tonight we feel the equal excitement to repeat the same, although on this occasion for the video of ‘Le Sotré‘; What about a 1930’s nature video in time-lapse, and some cheeky plants dancing with the synthwave delicacy this track unleashes. Splendid melodic lines, hooking rhythm and a bold dose of sonic optimism ideal for the rest of the summer!

Alban Blaising (Feu Follet) about the video:

“The sotré is a legendary creature of folklore Lorraine, it is a kind of leprechaun.
The images in the video are a very old documentary on botany.
The title was mainly built on a pattern of moog mother32 and leads from Korg Volca FM.
The track is quite simple and sounds very pop I find, influenced by some 80’s movie music
I wanted a nature video in time-lapse, I found it interesting to dance the vegetation on this title. I contacted a guy who did that but no answer, in the end I found this video from 1930.”
