L'Impératrice's Odyssée is a six-track release from Paris, issued in November 2017. Its musical frame is clear from the tags, electronic pop with disco polish, a French touch pull, and a tropical edge. “Agitations tropicales” makes that last part especially plain, while “Parfum thérémine” and “La Lune” give the tracklist a playful, slightly otherworldly shape without telling us exactly what happens in the arrangements. The sequence runs from “Le départ” through “Odyssée” to “Épilogue,” so this feels built as a compact piece rather than a sprawling collection.
The band has been active since 2012, placing the release in the Paris scene that fed the late 2010s wave of stylish, dance-minded pop. Microqlima appears in the release information, and the old Bandcamp shop has since moved to qlima.cool/_boutique. There are no personnel or recording details here, so the useful expectation is simply a polished blend of synth-led electronic music, pop structure and disco movement. That should suit anyone drawn to French touch without needing a long club track. Odyssée is a paid release, available in MP3 320, FLAC 16/44, ALAC, WAV and AIFF, with a vinyl LP also offered.
