Précis is the debut full-length album by Portland, Oregon based musician Benoît Pioulard, released by Kranky on October 16, 2006.

Limited to only 25 copies, this edition had exclusive content not available on the standard release and due to high demand sold out rapidly.

Stylus Magazine was one of the first publications to review the album, remarking: Précis is a spectacular, fully realized debut...a breathtaking sonic landscape that sounds like nothing else you’ll hear this year.

More importantly, though, it's also a remarkably accomplished debut: hazy without disappearing into the background, immediately captivating but still full of things to discover on later listens.On December 6, 2006, a video for Triggering Back was released.

Featuring a mixture of close-up shots and distant views, it is a hazy, almost dreamlike video that seems to fit with the style of the song and its ephemeric lyrical focus.
