Évasion (Getaway): pick a destination at random with Mondial Toboggan
Show your Orange card (the monthly pass of an older Paris) and take a seat. Évasion is a deeply French journey: one of those great summer road trips in a Corail train or a 504, of rest stops under Ricard umbrellas, of windsurfing boards and Polaroids sticking out their tongues.
Mondial Toboggan channels the 1970s–1990s to craft its retro synth-pop. An album like a postcard you never send.

Mondial Toboggan releases “Oceanos (SOS)”, the second single from their forthcoming album on Whales Records.
The story behind the track
Off the coast of South Africa, August 3, 1991. The MTS Oceanos is taking on water. The ship's captain orders evacuation and leaves. Among those who stay is Moss Hills, a musician hired to play the onboard shows.
Few musicians have had their finest moment mid-shipwreck. Mondial Toboggan wrote a song about it.
