‘Bonsoir. Nous sommes Desire.’ Name a debut with a more iconic intro. We’ll wait… We’ll wait ten years in fact as Desire released their first and only album, II, back in 2009 and now they are back, a decade later, for a world tour with Chromatics and the release of their long-awaited follow up album […]
