Active for the past decade and responsible for a flurry of game-changing records on L.I.E.S., The Trilogy Tapes, In Paradisum and Modern Love – in addition to his own label Editions Gravats, founded along with Jean Carval, French sound experimentalist Philippe Hallais aka Low Jack has quickly become a key player in the realm of off-kilter techno and boundary-pushing electronics, blowing some fresh air into sonic fields that were at the time gained by a sense of stale complacency and unadventurous decrepitude.

Following up to his show-stopping album ‘Lighthouse Stories‘, Philippe lands on Modern Love with ‘An American Hero‘ – a riveting imaginary soundtrack inspired by the very popular ESPN documentary series focused on the life and destiny of high-level athletes.

Accompanied by a string of short videos directed by gifted visual artist Ethan Assouline, the album beautifully opens new pathways and ports of entry into Hallais’ multi-dimensional body of work.
