With his newfound favourite musicians, the KGDD (Manfred Kovacic, Olivier Guindon, Franz Delage and Philippe Draï), with whom he just recorded the soundtrack to Fernando Arrabal's movie, Le Cimetière des voitures, he went to the studio and recorded a new album, improvising the lyrics in a pseudo-English.

This album, in contrast with the rather bleak sound he achieved, was recorded in a happy and quite light mood, with no other goal than exploring new musical landscapes.

Thanks to him, Bashung chose to break away from the reputation he had built, making a very dark album, in the lyrics as much as in the music, with a post-punk influence.

The 28th of March 2011 a show written by Pierre Mikaïloff and Arnaud Viviant premiered at the Théâtre Marigny of Paris, [Re]Play Blessures, which recounted the birth of the album.

Except Libération, the press was somewhat hostile to the album and baffled, Bashung being called on one occasion the "Johnny Hallyday of new wave".
