Maxwell Farrington & Le SuperHomard – where pop meets lushness and reverie

Maxwell Farrington & Le SuperHomard (Christophe Vaillant) are storytellers. Through their lyrics, orchestrations and arrangements, their compositions unfold as allegories, journeys into worlds where pop meets lushness and reverie.

Since Once (Talitres, 2021), the Franco-Australian duo has cultivated a way of life, an aesthetic – silky, sunlit, and timeless. 

Rock icons know quality when they hear it: Iggy Pop championed them on his BBC6 show, Paul Weller brought them along on European tours and invited Christophe Vaillant to Abbey Road Studios for the recording of his album 66.

The duo naturally turned to England to produce their new record.

Window Tax, their third album,was recorded in Margate, a short train ride from London, with Mike Lindsay, co-founder of Tunng (spearhead of the folktronica movement) and holder of the prestigious Mercury Prize in 2009 for his production work on Speech Debelle’s Speech Therapy.

Or: how to enjoy dinner with an admirable view, spend many hours with Lorène, find your way back to the Supermarket, savor fish & chips in very good company. ‘Do da da da…’
