CHICALOYOH - LAISSONS LES SORTRIR
(Brave Mysteries, CQBL017, C29 Tape, Ltd. 100 Sanguine on Acid Rain)

Cryptic psych manoeuvers from young French chanteuse Alice Dorlen and company. A perfect trip for shimmering Summer evenings. Imagine Book of AM as played by a young Mazzy Star, all filtered through the lush analogue squeeze of simple cassette four-track. The brilliantly acidic apparition of song and steam that hovers quietly in the opposite corner of your room, slowly sways and lurches its way toward you, gently aiming to possess you. The music murmurs along suggesting something much more below the surface, a catchy sensibility to the grooves makes the music yearn to become alive again, yet always stuck just beyond the tangible. mp3

Ensomhet 777 is another moniker of Riccardo Z., well known for his martial industrial project Zr.19.84. This first full-length release features one long piece in two chapters.

Excellent experimental funeral post-BM, reminiscent of Nortt, Burzum and Locrian. Recommended!

(Brave mysteries, CQBL015, C70 tape, lim. ed. 100 Lucite on Amethyst)

The Second Family Band is a leaderless collective of improvising musicians, based out of Madison Wisconsin. What unites this group is the shared background of meeting and playing together in improv units around southern Wisconsin, between the late 90s and the grand jubilee of Pasture Music Festival in 2004. Twelfth Night Reunion is a collection of vivid recordings from the Winter of 2010, culminating in the miraculous Twelfth Night Reunion party on New Years Eve.... Best psychedelic prog impro à la Sylvester Anfang.
