Paradis - Hémisphère

The last Paradis (see their website here) video I posted has been fairly popular so I thought I'd post the video of the A-side of their recent single and give the Parisian duo's single a proper introduction.   Here is what the groups label had to say about the recent Je m'ennui/Hémisphère release:
On the two tracks of their second 12", Paradis self-reflect to find an escape hatch away from themselves. The A-Side, "Hémisphère", a macabre story of a lonely guest of life determined to leave everything behind, defies the narrative's convention and captivates with pop melodies and up beats abound. On the B-Side, "Je M'ennuie", lovers settle into late-night melancholic routines soundtracked by a brooding bass line, an achingly affective synth lead, and vocals that grin behind the disaffected front. Ultimately, hope prevails as both tracks beg the listener to leave their headphones behind for the global village's dance floor. From Paris to Cologne, from Buenos Aires to New York, in the words of Michel Polnareff, "On ira tous au Paradis."
I've included their début release after the jump.
