Mais quelle est donc cette mystérieuse cuisine spirituelle de la pop ? La démonstration que l'electronica downtempo, dont nous redoutions tous l'ensevelissement définitif, suscite encore des éclairs de fulgurante passion ? C'est assez probable, voir certain. Partiellement enregistré en live, ce EP s'inscrit dans une sorte de continuité en process d'intensité. La cuisine de 4T Thieves n'a pas encore rejoint le cercle restreint des chefs étoilés dont nous taisons le nom, car , à l'instar des bons plats mijotés, il lui faut encore quelques ingrédients indispensables, du temps et un peu moins d'égoisme de la part de certains rédacteurs de chroniques musicales.

The wait won't be too long; impatience, on the other hand, is going to intensify in the coming weeks. The promise has been made, we will have a new album from the Forty Thieves for Christmas. So that's one good thing done, as our grandmother used to say. Finally, to be totally transparent, from recent memory, your humble servant owes you an apology, because he had kept, just for himself, the truly remarkable "Hauntology" for the impeccable netlabel Mahorka. Come on, a fault confessed should logically be forgiven.
But what is this mysterious spiritual pop cuisine? Is it the demonstration that downtempo electronica, whose definitive burial we all feared, can still elicit flashes of dazzling passion? It's quite probable, if not certain. Partially recorded live, this EP is part of a kind of continuous process of intensity. The cuisine of 4T Thieves has not yet joined the restricted circle of starred chefs whose names we are keeping silent, because, like good slow-cooked dishes, it still needs a few essential ingredients: time and a little less selfishness from certain music reviewers.
