"Raconte-Moi Une Histoire" is one of the stranger corners of Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, M83's 2011 album, and its credits read like a school pageant crossed with a studio session. Anthony Gonzalez produced it with Justin Meldal-Johnsen, the two of them splitting keyboards and drum machine, and Gonzalez takes the lead vocal, but the spoken part belongs to Zelly Meldal-Johnsen.
The Shakespeare Bridge Children's Choir joins in on finger snaps and handclaps, and The Purple Mixed Adult Choir stacks up backing vocals behind Gonzalez. Loïc Maurin plays drums, Meldal-Johnsen adds bass and acoustic guitar, and Lyle Workman brings acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin and a tiple. Tony Hoffer mixed it.
