The Parisian duo’s sophomore effort doubles down on the synthetic textures and space-age concepts hinted at on Moon Safari, resulting in a colder, more mechanical, and propulsive sound.
- The album was a commercial success, reaching number 13 on the French charts and number 10 on the UK charts.
- The title is a reference to the frequency of human hearing, with the duo suggesting that 10,000 Hz is the limit of the most perfect sound.
- The album was primarily recorded at their own new studio, Home, in Paris.
