BRAXE + FALCON
IL NUOVO SINGOLO
"ALL THIS LOVE (FEAT. BIBIO)"

Braxe + Falcon, the French electronic duo of cousins Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon, today share their summery new single “All This Love,” featuring the acclaimed British artist Bibio on vocals and guitar, via Smugglers Way.

“In 2023 I received a remix request from Warp Records for a beautiful song calling ‘S.O.L.’ by Bibio featuring Olivier St. Louis,” says Braxe. “Bibio was happy with my remix and afterward we started to talk about music in general and music gear until the point we felt like doing an original track together would be a lot of fun. So I sent him a very basic demo DJ Falcon and I did, and from there we started to build the song remotely - actually for now we’ve never met him in person. We chose addiction for the song’s theme; it’s not specified if it’s an addiction to substances or a relationship, it’s more about the inner combat to recover from such situations.”

“I first discovered Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon back in the late 90s when they were releasing music on Roulé,” says Bibio. “Their music was part of the soundtrack to my youth and also an inspiration to me as a budding producer. Music like theirs proved that less is sometimes more, and that if you have the right ingredients and know how to use them - the recipe can be simple. After they sent me a demo, I recorded parts on guitar, bass guitar and keys, and we’d bounce files back and forth to each other. E.g. I’d play a bass line, they’d tweak it and send it back, I’d learn the tweaked bass line and re-play it on bass guitar to keep it sounding live. It was a new way of working for me which kept things feeling fresh. Alan gave me a theme for the lyrics, but I wrote them in such a manner that they could be interpreted in different ways, which is something I enjoy doing with lyrics. We wanted the song to sound bittersweet but hopeful - the chords move between contrasting emotions so I wanted the meaning behind the words to fit with that.”

Listen to “All This Love (feat. Bibio)”.

“All This Love” follows Braxe + Falcon’s 2022 debut release, the Step By Step EP, which includes the unforgettable single “Step By Step” featuring Panda Bear and was hailed as “magical” (The Fader), “effervescent” (Stereogum), and “tactile, corporeal, a full-frequency embrace that can feel like a divine caress” (Pitchfork).

Braxe + Falcon will tour the East Coast in support of Justice next month and return to North America in September for a series of headlining dates and an appearance at San Francisco’s Portola Festival. All live and DJ dates are below.
