Performed in their native French, Envoler has become one of the most moving moments in The Ultimate Dreamers’ concerts as a song that creates surreal new wave atmosphere, balancing icy restraint against aching melancholy.
Drawn from the Paradoxical Sleep album, the track rises as one of the record's most striking pieces. It carries the brooding essence for which the band is known, yet every layer feels meticulously sculpted, polished with emotional precision.
Released as a single, Envoler reveals its fragile core, while an inventive rework by Parisian collective Curtain reshapes it into something unexpected, infusing shimmering pop tones and urgent breakbeats that push the song toward a different direction.
The release is paired with a video directed by Misty, the group’s trusted visual collaborator. Complementing it is cover art that takes inspiration from Antoine Brodin’s mesmerizing illustration of a humming of starlings in flight.
