"Déballé au cœur d'un monde toujours plus pressé, le clip de "Dimanche" nous invite à profiter de l'instant présent, à prendre le temps de vivre ensemble, de réfléchir et de partager la société à l'écart des écrans et des fils d'actualités (op)pressants de nos réseaux sociaux préférés."

"Unwrapped in the midst of an increasingly hurried world, the clip for "Dimanche" invites us to enjoy the present moment, to take the time to live together, to reflect and to share society away from the screens and (op)pressing news feeds of our favorite social networks."

Inspired by a late-night stop at a gas station after a concert, "Tankstation" captures the lonely ambiance reminiscent of the 80s Miami Vice soundtrack. The lyrics reflect solitude and the peacefulness of sleepless nights.
Maaike and Viggo sang the duet's melody together. The result is a romantic lullaby with melancholy overtones. 
The result is a romantic lullaby with a melancholic undertone.
The accompanying video clip is a little road movie-like, featuring tired young people in the backseat of a car.

"Tankstation" is part of the "Blue Noise" EP, which you can stream on all platforms.
