Of the track Godin says: “The track was inspired by John Lautner, one of my favourite architects in the whole world who is renowned for his sensuous modernism. A great example of this is the Sheats-Goldstein residence. It’s the second house I worked on as part of Xavier Veilhan’s Architectones project.

I couldn’t part with this melody and it brought the following lyrics to life: “I am looking for a house made of concrete and glass”.
