Long before we released our album last September, we had long talks before deciding to release it digitally or physically. Mainly for promotional reasons, including in short words “you don’t exist if you don’t have an album”, we went to the classical album.

Yes, Math, it must be part of the Breton/Celtic spirit to respect so deeply what is old! We also say something like “best soups are cooked in old pots” 🙂
