Hologram Teen is the solo project (and anagram) of former Stereolab keyboardist Morgane Lhote. Her colorful playful songs are heavily influenced by disco and '80s French pop. Initially from Paris, Morgane relocated to Los Angeles where she concentrated on her solo material. Captain Fluo is a disco-fueled love letter to 1980s Paris and its underground nightlife, record store discoveries and the exhilaration of growing up as a gay teenager in a world of self-discovery. Produced and mixed by Andrew Claristidge (Acid Washed) at Duca Sonora Studios in Brittany, Captain Fluo is a vibrant fusion of propulsive beats, bouncy synths and funky basslines. Morgane's signature keyboards weave through a constellation of guest vocalists including Sandra Zettpunkt, Maxwell Farrington, Eric D Clark, and Alex Aikiu. From the euphoric pulse of "Lust Pill" to the radio crooner nostalgia of "Fréquence Gaie" each track is a portal to the dance floors and late-night airwaves of a bygone era. Drawing inspiration from French pop icons like France Gall, Michel Berger, and Louis Chedid alongside the sleek productions of Italo disco pioneers Kasso and the genre-defining touch of David Bowie, Nile Rogers, Quincy Jones, and Depeche Mode, Captain Fluo is a heartfelt ride through an era when music was liberation.
