French producer and artist Rone has just announced the release of his new album Mirapolis, set to drop in October 2017.
The vibrant album art is by film and music video director Michel Gondry, and features a portrait of Rone against a backdrop of skyscrapers and futuristic buildings, reminiscent of the Archigram collectives of the 1960s’ architectural extravagances.
Rone and Gondry share a mutual love of image and sound. Rone considers Gondry’s volume of cult classic DVD collection The Work Of Director as one of his most cherished pieces of film.
Gondry is also renowned for his work producing videos for Bjork, the White Stripes, Rolling Stones, Chemical Brothers, Beck and Daft Punk, amongst others. His acclaimed feature films include Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep and Be Kind, and Rewind.
