Due on January 6th, 2014, Goodbye Fantasy EP is the 5th and the last EP of a series started in December 2012 by I'm a Cliché imprint. All related with Bot'Ox' second long player "Sans Dormir" (out since November 2013), these EPs - "Basement Love", The Face of Another"... have followed a similar pattern: one song from the album, a video, a bunch of club remixes, and a photo artwork by Philippe Lebruman. Goodbye Fantasy is sung by Mark Kerr who was already featured in previous album "Babylon by Car" and can be seen on stage at Bot'Ox' live performances as the lead vocalist and a guitarist. In terms of format and influences, Goodbye Fantasy is the track from the album that fits most with pop music standards. Unlike other songs steeped in a gloomy or nervous feeling, this one focuses in its melodic strength and its condensed dynamic. No euphoria to be expected though: lyrics are all about giving up with one's illusions. The video directed by French movie-maker Pierre Teulières and Clément Vallos showcases a group of people humiliated in a nightclub and forced to party. Just like other videos (The Face of Another, 2.4.1, Basement Love) and artworks (daytime photographs of abandoned nightclubs) did before, this one shows a night life that is far from current standards in popular culture of nonstop fun. Four remixes are included in the release. Belfast man Phil Kieran delivers a club version in line with his crossover project "Le Carousel". Moscoman, whose first EP was released by I'm a Cliché, provides a remix filled with emotion. Roman Azzaro's remix, under his Rouge Mécanique moniker, is all about funk with rock guitars tailored for techno clubs. And finally, In Flagranti, whose recent EP on Phantasy was acclaimed, deliver a dub high on ketamine. Bot'Ox - Sans Dormir LP is out now.
