In the Nursery members operate here under the name
Les Jumeaux (French for "the twins") as a hard-edged alter ego of themselves. The sparse but seductive electronic compositions are coolly seductive. While mostly instrumental, the French lyrics, sung by
Dee de Rocha, add to the smoky charm. Especially representative of the alluring, velvet-gloved touch of
Les Jumeaux is "Strange," a shiny-black gem. The entire collection is an arsenal to bring out post-dusk during quality time spent with your significant other. The selection of original material from the
Humberstone brothers and company comes with contributions by
Beaumont Hannant and guest re-mixers
Protagonist and Lunatic Eclipse.
Les Jumeaux dates from pre-production for the
In the Nursery/
the Sabres of Paradise "Smokebelch II" single, followed by remix work including
Andrew Weatherall's "Haunted Dancehall" and "Glenn Street Assault Squad," through to the
Les Jumeaux debut album Feathercut in 1996.
