It is from the depths of my subconscious I arrived at the conclusion that the latest offering from Hervé would be the perfect soundtrack to a video of Noel Fielding guzzling LSD whilst prancing around the aircraft hangars of Sonar Festival in some sort of sequinned cape. If the thought of such an experience seems a little off-putting, then Pick Me Up, Sort Me Out, Calm Me Down probably isn't the record for you. Not one to sit still for too long, Hervé doesn't seem to ...
