In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with Ambroise and Zoé from indie band Astral Bakers.

Their second album "Vertical Life" was recorded in the Catskills in upstate New York, and celebrates their collective identity. We also look at the return of the cassette tape, which is hoping to emulate the same success vinyl records have had in recent years.
