After paying tribute to John Carpenter's scary stylings in 2010 (Zombie Zombie Plays John Carpenter), Paris-based electronic duo Zombie Zombie return to report that space is again the place.

Multi-instrumentalists Étienne Jaumet and Cosmic Neuman, along with producer-engineer-alchemist Joakim, employ an arsenal of vintage hardware such as analog synthesizers, modular drum machines, groovy sax, rototoms, and bongos to inspire a mesmerizing trip into a new interplanetary consciousness.

On their single “Illuminations”, from the forthcoming album, Rituels d’un Nouveau Monde, they time-shift flawlessly into a kraut-funk galactic jam that Sun Ra would approve.
