Vampire en pyjama is the eighth studio album by Dionysos, and was released on 29 January 2016,[1] two days after Mathias Malzieu's novel, Journal d'un vampire en pyjama. The album was intended to be more acoustic than those before it and the lyrics are more personal.[2] A mascote accompanies this album : a man with a heart for a head, Heartman, frequently drawn by the band and its fans in the streets of their own towns.[3]
