“Lyrically, he often expresses those feelings of
solitude, though, musically, the results may be best enjoyed in a room
wall-to-wall with sweaty skin.”

YUKSEK - Off the wall (clip officiel) by umusic
French electro-pop composer Yuksek (aka Pierre-Alexander Busson) released his new album, Living On The Edge Of Time, February 14 on Ultra Records. Combining the infectious house beats and dance-floor vibe that Pierre has perfected with a more straightforward pop sound, the album has gained widespread praise from the likes ofUSA Today and CMJ, among others. Today, Yuksek released a psychedelic video for album track “Off The Wall.” The playful video brings the bouncy, upbeat track to life with images of mirrored body parts moving along to the beat and giant faces built of colorful paper cutouts. Head to Dailymotion to check out the creative "Off The Wall” video and feel free to post and share!
On Living On The Edge Of Time, Yuksek’s melodic vocals shine over catchy hooks and toe-tapping beats. Opening track “Always On The Run” grabs listeners from the start, setting an energetic tone for the rest of the album. “On A Train” is a true dance-floor anthem, building to an explosive chorus that will get stuck in your head for days. “White Keys” is marked by a synth melody that is featured throughout, setting a more contemplative mood. Closing the record is psych-pop track “Out Of Control,” complete with finger snaps and driving bass.
Having already made quite an impression in North America, Yuksek’s US fans will have more chances to catch the master of electro-pop performing live. Yuksek will head out on a string of US dates this March, including several performances at SXSW and Winter Music Conference. Be sure to catch the band unleash a tour de force live in a city near you!
