🔹 𝑵𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒆 𝑮𝒐 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎.
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: I put my heart, my passion, my sadness and my anger into it. As I get older, I get angrier and angrier. It's the world ! Even before the murder of George Floyd, we were already following the police violence in the US that led to the Balck Lives Matter movement. Then came the pandemic, the Brexit and now maybe a third world war. It's as if we can never rest, never get out of this permanent uncertainty, the very real possibility of dying... Not to mention the climate disaster. Are we screwed as a species ? Probably. It's hard for me to be optimistic.


🔹 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒈𝒐 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏 𝑶𝒍𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒍, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒅'𝒔 𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒔 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓 ?
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: When we started out, we were both in the living room recording on a cassette recorder. Twenty-seven years later, we were in the studio we built. After celebrating our twentieth anniversary, we realised that we had gained a freedom that we didn't have before. And I was really afraid that I would start to get bored. So we broke with our method and started at the end.


🔹 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 ?
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: By the album cover. In 2016, I went into the studio with the photo, and I asked Stefan if it would make a good cover. The photo was taken in Northern California. It's a bay that was used as a garbage dump in the 1950s. Ten years later it was cleaned up and nature took over. Today, it is a protected beach. For me, it's very moving, because it's a perfect example of how nature can go from waste to beauty if you leave it alone.


🔹 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒄 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒔...
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: Yes, it's nice to see the animals coming back. I left the city too. I broke from London in February 2021, a month after Brexit. I was so angry that it was starting to have a very negative effect on my health. Brexit was like the British government asking me to choose. And it wasn't difficult. I've always had a European identity. I was born in Belgium, I grew up in Europe. I came back to Europe.

🔹 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝑩𝒚 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 ?
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: I've changed since then, but my old neighbours thought it was OK to spy on me because I was famous... That triggered something in my head about global surveillance, about cameras filming us. The question I ask in this album is: what is the human price to pay for all this progress ? But I don't have the answer.


🔹 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 ?
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: Unfortunately, it's almost impossible. We do our best to tour sustainably, but even by bus we create pollution. And I have to say my thought: the carbon footprint was invented by BP. To shift the obligations of governments and multinationals onto the people. We can all go vegan, if Coca-Cola, McDonald's and the oil companies don't change, it won't be enough.


🔹 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒖𝒈𝒆 𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒖𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒔...
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: Like everyone else, we have to make a living. After almost three years of not being able to work, it's important to play the biggest shows possible. I have responsibilities, I have to continue raising my son (𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘔𝘰𝘭𝘬𝘰). He lives between me and his mother. At 16, he is already a professional actor. In a series on Netflix for example (𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘉𝘰𝘯𝘦). And he's a better musician than me. Keep an eye on the new Molko. He's going to be bigger than the first one.


🔹 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝒊𝒔 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑩𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑰𝒏 𝑻𝒏𝒆 𝑺𝒌𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 ?
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: To David Bowie. When he died, I started thinking about the effect he had on me as a human being. It's also about police killings. I put myself in the shoes of someone who has lost someone to murder.


🔹 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉 ?
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: More and more. I'm almost 50... (𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴) What bothers me most is not being conscious anymore. I study Buddhism, I apply some of its teachings in my life, but I am still not very sure that reincarnation exists.
