In “the whole of the moon”, the guitar-and-drums duo—elie zoé’s musical heartbeat—is pushed to its very limits here: Luc Hess’s (Coilguns, Beurre) raw, incisive drumming soars throughout the verses and choruses, reaching its peak as it drives the entire instrumental section. elie zoé’s earthy electric guitars ride atop it all like a rollercoaster.

About the single “the whole of the moon” & video (artist comment):
“ it’s a song i first started writing in 2022, then set aside and picked back up in 2024, during the album’s writing phase. the first verse was already written, in ‘she.’ i wondered why, since i usually take care to avoid gender markers in the lyrics of my songs. then one night, after hesitating betweenrewriting everything or abandoning the song all together, i suddenly woke up around 3 a.m. and understood: this is a song i was writing for Emilie Zoé.from that moment on, everything was clear: this song is about reconciliation—it celebrates and gathers everything we are, everything wehave been, and everything we will be. ” – elie zoé
About the video:
« we began adapting the songs so they could be played live as a duo with drummer Fred Bürki. we had fun documenting the process, and i used this footage to create the video for the track. editing it carried me back and forth between 2025 and 2014, when i remember us meeting for the first time and already sharing the same joy of playing together. as if past, present, and future no longer really made sense » – elie zoé
