The newest Birds of Paradise release, ‘Love Hotel,’ is an EP created in collaboration with ex-Aids Wolf member, André the Maji. The EP also features guest musicians Jean-Michel Coutu (I.D.A.L.G. founder), Warren Auld, and pianist Jeff Louch. Most of the tracks were recorded live at Planet Studios with whiz kid, Sebastien Perry. Experimental covers of Duke Ellington, Lee Hazelwood and Tennessee Ernie Ford songs as well as improvised electronic soundscapes and warped beats all used in order to capture the dreamy atmosphere and eery echoes of 30s & 50s pop vocal music.
