Their second album, "Alesia," is a true testament to their prowess as musicians, blending contagious pop hooks with moody electronic textures and soaring choruses. Tracks like "Chateau," "Roman," and "Monster" are the perfect soundtrack to a night of dancing and debauchery, with lyrics that are as playful as they are poignant.
