Biography

Erin Moran (A Girl Called Eddy) and Mehdi Zannad (Fugu) have made an album together. The collaboration began to take shape when Zannad fell in love with Erin’s exquisite voice on her debut album “A Girl Called Eddy” - produced with Richard Hawley and critically acclaimed in the press from Uncut to Mojo to Rolling Stone and The New York Times, while Erin was a fan of FUGU from the very first album. Erin and Mehdi met up in London, Paris and Nancy to write, and along the way held recording sessions in the band Tahiti 80’s Lab/recording studio in Rouen (where Zannad recorded his second full length, “As Found”). Erin wrote choruses that Mehdi turned into songs, and viceversa, and both had brought some of their own already-written tunes on board when in 2014 Elefant Records showed up on the scene and offered them the possibility of making an album after hearing the first four songs from the project. Sessions were booked, orchestra’s were contracted and the record started to take shape with the help of various members of Mehdi’s core band of Fugu, as well as members of Tame Impala, Syd Matters and Tahiti 80. And so finally, we have the prodigious result in our hands.
