Redcar les adorables étoiles (prologue)

Letissier worked on the album with producer Mike Dean, who contacted him in 2021 and "suggested they collaborate", with Letissier then traveling to Los Angeles to work with Dean. Letissier recorded the album in two weeks, Letissier adopted the persona of Redcar for the project, with Redcar being described as a "suave figure wearing a red glove". The album's release was delayed from 28 September to 11 November 2022 due to Letissier being injured during rehearsals. ==Critical reception==

On review aggregator Metacritic, the album has a score of 71 out of 100 based on 17 critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. Alexis Petridis of The Guardian opined that the album "largely seem[s] to be breakup songs, with the protagonist very much the injured party" and the listener "start[s] to wonder whether its dejected lyrical tone might not have as much of a bearing on [its] shortcomings as time constraints or bloody-mindedness". He concluded that it shows "flashes of inspiration that ultimately lead to frustration". Writing for Pitchfork, Sophie Kemp described Redcar as a "transitional album", "a frustrating listen from a brilliantly talented artist" and "a very quiet collection of songs with all the weight of ephemera". ==Track listing==
