Let’s face it, I am not a natural born singer, so I like to put my lead vocals quite low in the mix and double them to hide the imperfections. ‘L’oreille au sol’ is a case where the lead vocal is just part of the music, as opposed to the way most of the French songs are recorded, where the voice is put way in the front and the lyrics are the driver. Here, it was all about getting the right atmospheric sound and a Peter Hook kind of bass line, and then laying a John Squire/Stone Roses-influenced guitar part on it (and that was a lot of fun).
