There are several links between this album and lead singer Mathias Malzieu's Métamorphose en bord de ciel, similar to other relationships between the band's discography and Mathias Malzieu's novels, such as La Mécanique du cœur. The first single Cloudman came out on 23 January 2012,[2] following teasers that hinted that the music video would depict the transformation of Tom Cloudman as in the novel Métamorphose en bord de ciel.

For this album Babet participated actively in the band, after having taken only a minor role in their last album five years earlier, "La Mécanique du Cœur".

Some new instruments feature in this album, following the band's acoustic tour in 2009. The album itself has been described as "rock for birds",[3] which supports its link to the novel, Métamorphose en bord de ciel. However, unlike La Mécanique du Cœur, only five tracks of the twelve link directly to the novel, taking the band back to the formula of the preceding album, Monsters in Love.

gollark: For example, quarrying. CC has turtles. They can dig things. They can move. You can make a quarry out of this, and people have. But in practice, they're not hugely fast or efficient, and it's hard to make it work well in the face of stuff like server restarts, while a dedicated quarrying device from a mod will handle this fine and probably go faster if you can power it somehow.
gollark: I honestly don't think CC is particularly overpowered even with turtles. While it can technically do basically anything, most bigger packs will have special-purpose devices which are more expensive but do it way better, while CC is very annoying to have work.
gollark: Out of all the available APIs in _G the only ones I can see which allow I/O of some sort directly and don't just make some task you can technically already do more convenient are `fs`, `os`, `redstone`, `http`, and `term`. You can, at most, probably disable `http` and `redstone` without breaking everything horribly, and it would still be annoying.
gollark: What other stuff would you disable, anyway? I don't think there's much which isn't just a utility API of some sort which you can disable without more problems.
gollark: Because that won't be hilariously annoying at all!
