๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: 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.

๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: 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.
๐น ๐พ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ?
๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: 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.

๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: 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.

๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: 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.

๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: 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.

๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: 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 (๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฐ). He lives between me and his mother. At 16, he is already a professional actor. In a series on Netflix for example (๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ). 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.

๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: 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.
๐น ๐จ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ?
๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: More and more. I'm almost 50... (๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด) 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.
