CARAVAN PALACE

Parisian electronic alchemists Caravan Palace released of their new explosive album ‘Chronologic’ on August 30th 2019,  along with a North American tour starting September 2019.

Following on from the huge success of their last studio album, 2015’s <|º_º|> could have seemed quite the task for the band. With its fusion of hedonistic house and old school jazz,   has now sold more than ¼ million copies and featured huge viral hits in  the singles Wonderland’ and Lone Digger, the latter of which is  about to be become the band’s first Gold Record in the USA.

These accomplished musicians are also studio geeks, and the band  hunkered for two years in their basement Parisian studio, relentlessly  testing new formulae, looking for unanimous approval between themselves  before unleashing their work on the public. They did not want to walk  the same roads, opened themselves up to the moment, retaining their  eagerness to have fun smashing musical barriers and infusing vintage  elements in their modern work.

Broadening the sonic palette, the early big band feel of previous  records now shares the stage with a production firmly rooted in  electronic music, and Chronologic introduces new influences ranging from  bossa and soul to hip-hop. The result is a record that is joyous,  high-spirited and so distinctly Caravan Palace. For the first time, the  band has also invited a selection of guest singers to appear in their  music, adding to the texture and widening appeal of their sound.

Initial singles from Chronologic have only raised expectations.   Earlier this year, the single Miracle unveiled a poppier side. With its  disco groove and inclusive lyrics, the track was well received by their  ever-growing fanbase as well as radio such as Annie Mac’s BBC1 show or  on KCRW, where it became Today’s Top Track. Alongside its audacious  video, Miracle has so far accumulated over 20 million streams on all  platforms. The second single About You, which is also the first to  feature outside talents courtesy of vocalist Charles X, is has notched  up nearly 1 million Spotify streams in the month since its release.
The musical virtuosity of the band combined with their panache,  flair and genuine joy in performing live is evident at their  awe-inducing sold out headline shows. Not only are Caravan Palace stunning the live scene, they are one of the most viral acts in the  digital world with statistics rising at an extraordinary rate; 2.1  million video uploads and over 2 billion streams for Wonderland on on  Tik Tok, 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, +¼ billion Spotify  streams, 1.1 million YouTube subscribers, 200 million YouTube plays of  the Lone Digger official video adding to 500 million total YouTube  official channel streams.
