Description/Reviews: 

Known for their instrumental Jazz/Rock style, Les Païens are now exploring the fascinating world of looping and electro-influenced sounds and beats. Carte blanche, their newest work, is the result of two years of experimentation in this new musical direction.
The new album from Les Païens is an open door to their creative universe. Having completed their Épiphondes trilogy , which had imposed a certain direction to their last three albums, Les Païens were free to produce a recording with no limits. Entering the studio, the group had a handful of compositions. The remainder of the music came from improvisations in the studio.
