Gaspard Augé – “Hey!”

Gaspard Augé – “Hey!”

Last month, Gaspard Augé — one-half of the French dance-pop duo Justice — released his debut solo single, “Force Majeure,” with the promise of a whole full-length to follow. Today, Augé has officially announced Escapades — which comes out in June — and shared another new track, “Hey!”

Like the album’s first single, this one comes with a brief music video/visual that features only a snippet of the song but is well-worth watching in its own right. Directed by Filip Nilsson, it’s a minute-long clip of a horse taking off across Turkey as its rider plays a violin while on top. Wild stuff! “This is the first thing that came to my mind while recording the track,” Auge said in a statement. “a mongolian horse rider playing the violin in the steppe, an epic ride with a far east feel. Filip Nilsson and the amazing rider Metin Yılmaz made that dream come true.”

Watch that and listen to the full song below.
