French synth pop artist Flavien Berger shares surreal and strange video for new single “Castelmaure”

Two lovers clash and come together in a world of surreal imagery and slow-motion abstraction in the video for “Castelmaure”, the latest single from synthpop artist Flavien Berger.

The track itself has an endearing retro feel, with rolling bass and vocodor-treated backing vocals.

Berger has supported Christine and the Queens on tour, and both artists share a particularly European aloofness.

“Castelmaure” comes from Berger’s second album Contre-Temps: a high-concept blend of irresistible melodies, minimal synths and oddball personality. “I devise my records like adventure stories,” says Berger of the release. “Here we have a reverse quest, a knight's voyage at the wheel of a car, driving while listening to psychedelic RnB on the radio.”
