Released via Antinote, the enigmatic producer’s latest album opens a new portal where melted synths, airy percussion and ghostly voices drift into dreamy coherence. Following a path set by previous records like *Miniatures De Auto Rhythm* and *People on Sunday*, this LP stretches even deeper into experimental pop minimalism, echoing through tropical mirages and post-balearic calm.

The sonic language is both nostalgic and futuristic—filtered drum machine patterns float under ethereal keys, while traces of chanson, dub and library music are stitched into hazy textures. Vocals are used sparingly, often processed into disembodied echoes, becoming part of the sound palette rather than delivering messages.

*Deux Paradis* feels like a soundtrack to a non-existent film, one shot on Super 8 at the edge of memory and sea. A continuation of Dumont’s slow-burning mystique, it offers not just escapism, but an entire mood of stillness and strange beauty.
