College returns with its third full length album, a rich, glowing and nostalgic synth-based offering reminiscent of previous works heard in A Real Hero (Drive Soundtrack), but at the same time exploring a unique and conceptual world, Shanghai, giving Colleges textural and atmospherical works a brand new dimension.
Shanghai†is an album inspired by the city itself -†its culture and architecture; how it is a melting pot of many things. Musically he draws on 90's sounds and the work from artists including†Mark†Snow,†Angelo Badalamenti,†Joe Hisaishi†and†Aphex Twin. On the record, Grellier explains:
"This record is a mysterious ballad in the heart of 1920s Shanghai... An invitation to travel, a tribute to the refinement and in the delicacy of a fantasized and blurry period of time, which fed the imagination of the musicians, the artists and the architects of this mythical city. Young chinese singer Hama, a Shanghai native, also honors me by singing on the title 'Love Peas'.
