"Tako Tsubo" is the second studio album by French electronic band L'Impératrice. The album's title refers to a medical condition also known as "broken heart syndrome," which occurs when the heart's main pumping chamber weakens due to intense emotional distress.
Released on March 26, 2021, "Tako Tsubo" features a departure from the French chanson style that characterized the band's first album, "Matahari." Instead, the album showcases a diverse range of musical styles, including disco, funk, and synthpop. The album was produced by Renaud Letang (known for his work with artists such as Feist and Jarvis Cocker) and mixed by Neal Pogue (known for his work with Outkast and Tyler, the Creator).
The album's lyrics explore themes such as love, heartbreak, social media, and the pressures of modern life. The song "Submarine" addresses the idea of projecting a perfect life online and the pressure to be constantly happy, while "Peur des filles" offers a feminist critique of societal expectations of femininity.
"Tako Tsubo" has been praised for its sophisticated production, intricate arrangements, and the band's skillful use of vintage synthesizers, basslines, and glittery melodies. The album has been described as a journey of self-discovery, with L'Impératrice expanding their musical horizons and exploring new emotional and sonic territories.
