Cobalt is the new offering from Les Jumeaux. The album is a fusion of diverse inspiration, digital experimentation and sound manipulation. The selection of new material is supplemented by contributions from Beaumont Hannent along with guest re-mixers The Protagonist (Sweden) and Lunatic Eclipse (Germany).

"The title track Cobalt takes The Chemical Brothers on at their own game... but with the added bonus of lush orchestral strings, as if performed by 'deaf musicians' - playing from the heart. Then there's the oddly named 'Boot Pick' which turns out to be a tribute to Augustus Pablo. All in all Cobalt contains a perverse collection of wondrous sounds"
