Two For The Road



Two For The Road is the story of Cooper and Ann, a young man and woman who ever since they were teenagers, always had a lot of chemistry between them. During high-school they used to spend innumerable hours together and share an interest in lucid dreaming (the act of dreaming while being aware that you are dreaming). Everyone thought they were an item but in reality their obvious affinity never turned into a romantic affair.



Ten years later, after leading separate lives and having fallen out of touch, Cooper calls Ann to see if she’ll join him in a road trip towards a lucid dreaming event. 



Two For The Road is the last chance for their love story to become a reality.



Our story follows them on the road step by step.track by track, on a journey through their hopes, fears and dreams.lucid or not.



Katrine Ottosen is Ann, Valente is Cooper.



Two For The Road album to be released in September 2007



Marc Collin



Marc Collin’s trace can be found on diverse projects: as a producer, as an artist using pseudos such as Dirty Jesus, Suburbia, Les Pétroleuses, Eden et Après, Dynamo or even Volga Select.

His collaboration with prestigious labels such as Mo Wax, Source, Paper Records, Output Records, Crammed, 20:20 Vision, Tigersushi, can also be noted.



Another element that complicates Marc Collin’s identification is the fact that he takes part and initiates diverse projects: house music, techno, experimental music, pop, French songs, trip hop etc, but all these directions have actually lead to create a very personal universe, widely influenced by cinema, a theme that is fundamentally present in “Two For The Road”. This solo album is probably his most succeeded project, synthesis of his entire musical past.



His reputation as a soundtrack composer (“Les Kidnappeurs”, “Riviera”, “Bye bye Harry” and “J’aurais voulu être un danseur”) is no more to make. His productions can also be found on many other soundtracks (“Mr and Mrs Smith”, “Intervention Divine”, “La vérité si je mens”, and, very recently, the next Tarantino.)



Katrine Ottosen



This 25 year-old danish artist living in Copenhagen is an experienced

musician, performer and songwriter/lyricist. She is currently working on her

own debut album. Alongside the studio sessions she has toured a lot on her

own during the past year (New York, London, Milan and more). Lately also as

the opening act for Nouvelle Vague. Her own music is a delicate combination

of melodies and sounds and in this universe especially her bittersweet and

genuine voice stands out as a rare and eyeopening trademark of a young,

upcoming artist.

Valente



The son of an American jazz singer and an Italian opera and theatre

director, Valente was born in Rome. Growing up around his parents’ work and

his sisters’ punk and new wave records, he began to write music while

attending catholic priest boarding school in Switzerland. Despite his Latin

teacher’s prediction that he’d end up as a used car salesman, Valente moved

to London and then to Los Angeles to study bass playing and film scoring. A

broken heart later, he reconnected with his first love - singing and writing

songs.
