Retrouvez Simon & Olivier en interview pour Off Radio (Grèce). En anglais.

SELFIE INTERVIEW WITH AARON



Every now and then we ask our favorite artists some questions about themselves, accompanied by a selfie pic exclusively for Offradio's audience. This week we turn the question sheet over to French duo Artificial Animals Riding On Neverland aka AaRON. We first met AaRON back in 2005 through their heartbreaking 'Lili' which became an instant producer's and crowd favorite. 'Seeds of Gold', 'Rise' and 'Blow' among others, have also found their way on our air. Their new album 'We Cut The Night' is due out September 2015 via Cinq 7. 'Blouson Noir', which has painted this spring a bit darker -but we love it- is the first track out of the album, which also comes with a great intro video with John Malkovich. Ladies and gents, without further ado, meet Simon and Olivier:
