L'Ère du Verseau (French for 'The Age of Aquarius') is the fourth studio album by French dance-pop band Yelle. It was released on 4 September 2020 by Recreation Center, the record label founded by the band. It is the band's first album since the release of Complètement fou six years prior.

Background

[edit]

Yelle began writing L'Ère du Verseau in the spring of 2019. The band was in Montreal to record a song with Billboard, a music producer who previously collaborated with the band on Complètement fou.[4] The album was completed just before the COVID-19 pandemic placed France in lockdown.[5]
