Alternate Piranhas EP

A Pewter Wolf (Alternate Take)

Second collaboration with Mat Ward (https://soundcloud.com/no-mates-ensemble), a long back and forth exchange of files, the crossing of two ways.
Thank you a lot, Mat, for learning so much about myself in working with you ; it's worth any psychotherapies...
May we can renewal the experience !
--------
« Le ciel voilé contient un soleil flou quand Ravel, alerté par les sirènes qui annoncent qu'on vient de larguer les aussières, gagne le pont supérieur du paquebot pour surveiller le mouvement derrière les vitres. L'immense fatigue dont il se plaignait ce matin dans la 201 paraît se dissiper dès le chant des sirènes à trois tons, subitement il se sent léger, plein d'élan, vif au point de sortir au grand air. Mais cela ne dure pas : très vite il a très froid sans pardessus, serre les pans de son veston sur sa poitrine et grelotte. Le vent qui vient de se lever d'un coup plaque ses vêtements contre sa peau, dénie leur existence et leur fonction. Comme il attaque de front la surface de son corps, l'homme se sent nu et doit s'y reprendre plusieurs fois pour allumer une cigarette, les allumettes n'ayant pas le temps de s'embraser. Il y parvient enfin mais cette fois c'est la Gauloise qui, comme à la montagne - bref souvenir de sanatorium -, n'a plus le même goût que d'habitude : le vent profite de la fumée pour s'introduire en même temps qu'elle dans les poumons de Ravel, refroidissant maintenant son corps de l'intérieur, l'attaquant de toutes parts, lui coupant le souffle en le décoiffant, faisant voltiger sa cendre de cigarette sur ses habits et dans ses yeux, le combat devient trop inégal, mieux vaut battre en retraite. »

Then She Reaches For The Gun - Flashing My Vagina At Koalas

released in Jan 2025 - nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/i-am…m-with-you.

Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of 21st Century contemporary culture.

Eamon The Destroyer - "We'll Be Piranhas" (BS061)

Performed with a wit and wisdom only matched by the beauty and musical genre hopping extravagance not seen since John Peel dropped his record collection down three flights of stairs... A madness of electronica, psychedelia, dance and pop; at times sounding like an inspired Momus sharing magic mushroom soup with Cornelius and Ivor Cutler. Yes, there is magic in these tracks that one can lie back and completely lose themselves in
[Monolith Cocktail]

[ETD] has gone from strength to strength – to the extent that his output has erupted, Godzilla-like, expanding and flexing immense musical muscles. Incredibly intimate, with tension building from the introspective minimalism of the songs. We’ll be Piranhas finds ETD really going all-out to try stuff. And the result is brain-bending
[Aural Aggravation]

Of the purest of joys in listening to Eamon the Destroyer is the feeling that there is no blueprint. And each track spends part of the time fruitfully not finding one, but, as if looking. If that's a foible then so fucking what. This is incredible music with the emphasis on their incredible making... Eamon is in control when all around him, are maybe not.
[Outsideleft]

Deformirani nadrealizam elektroakustičnog neo-popa iz Edinburgha
[Terapija]

Good as ever. Complex as ever. No song is a straight verse-chorus-verse – nothing like that is ever going to happen. It's always going to be full of interesting arrangements, arcs and changes. An adventurous musician. I highly recommend We'll Be Piranhas
[Club Integral Radio Show, Resonance FM]

Wilfully quirky stuff! King Creosote meets Swell Maps vibes...
[Velvet Sheep, Repeater Radio]

Still nothing like anything: a second bout of beautiful noise... “We’ll Be Piranhas” has much more assertiveness about it, yet Eamon’s romanticism upped the ante too, in terms of both sonic spectrum and melodic meander, although The Destroyer’s avant-garde leanings are still tangible here. And that’s exactly where the album’s thrills reside
[DMME.net]

Having entered the odd realm of Eamon The Destroyer, as with his first album A Small Blue Car this packs enough ideas for a whole album into each song
[Whisperinandhollerin]

Eamon The Destroyer returns with a sophomore release that continues to destroy minds and reap rewards by tantalizing us with perplexing WTF’s like the marching band-on-acid electro glitchfest ‘The Choirmaster.’
[It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine]

Il nuovo album di Eamon The Destroyer è ancora una volta estroso e riflessivo. Sfida i generi musicali, stimolando la mente e catturando l'attenzione degli ascoltatori con la sua intimità, tensione e pura creatività. È un viaggio attraverso l'elettronica, la psichedelia e il folk-pop, dove ogni brano offre qualcosa di nuovo e inaspettato. Consigliato agli ascoltatori che apprezzano la musica che rompe gli schemi.
[Europa e cultrura elettronica]

Eamon The Destroyer - “A Small Blue Car - Re-made/Re-modelled” (BS057)

A remix album of the excellent Eamon The Destroyer album, and this is a rare thing as I actually prefer it to the original, and I enjoyed the original a great deal. A Small Blue Car… is another overwhelming success of a release taking the experimental and layering it with blankets of alternative pop electronica warmth
[Monolith Cocktail]

Bearsuit is a close-knit community of musicologists and risk-takers who love to push the envelope beyond traditional musical forms. A very interesting and, as always with Bearsuit, an occasional challenging listen. [The album] gives you an excellent cross section of the state of today’s electronic and experimental music scene.
Jeff Penczak
[It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine]

A Small Blue Car – Re-Made/Remodelled is a source of pleasure, not only because it’s genuinely interesting, but simply because it exists. An absolute triumph!
[Aural Aggravation] 

Great album!
[Louder Than War]

The fabulous “Nothing Like Anything” by Like This Parade caresses the listener’s ears, its pseudo-orchestral treatment by Senji Niban will stress how impeccably the coherence of “A Small Blue Car” is preserved here. Here’s a vehicle that’s able to run in every make, in every guise and with every trim: an all-terrain type of transport to carry passengers beyond the pale
[DMME.net]

It's the kind of methamphetamine of weird songs [“Tomahawk Den” - Societe Cantine Remix)].  What's he doing?! I don't know but it's fascinating! A sort of song in there but the structures are perplexing and challenging and intriguing... Bearsuit Records – really worth checking out. There's some really great music on there...
[Club Integral Radio Show – Resonance FM]

Awesome stuff!
[From One Extreme To Another]

Eamon The Destroyer - “A Small Blue Car” (BS053)

Excellent album!
[River Gibbs FM]

Distinct and mind-spinning music. Engaging, disarming and thoroughly individual, [Humanity Is Coming] is a track that stands out from the pack for all the right reasons
[Neil March - Trust The Doc]

I'm very much enjoying a record [A Small Blue Car] by Eamon The Destroyer that's been sent by the excellent label Bearsuit Records
[Stuart Maconie, Freak Zone - BBC6 Music]

Brilliant stuff!
[On The Wire – BBC Radio Lancashire]

This album once again shows there is powerful, extremely original music being released and being ignored by the so-called tastemakers in 2021. Another gem from the Bearsuit label then: just add it to their ever-growing list
[Monolith Cocktail]

Everything on it is totally terrific! Really quite excellent!
[In-Tune – Bcfm]

Like Flaming Lips in a burning tumble dryer
[Truth & Lies Music / Radio alHara]

[My Drive] is a strong piece...freaky change and great mood... impressed!
[Ivor Perry – Big Flower/Easterhouse]

A fine new single [Silver Shadow] from Eamon The Destroyer. Great Stuff!
[Mark Whitby - Dandelion Radio]

Like Stereolab on ketamine
[Aural Aggravation]

Attesting to the huge goodness of this...
[Glove Of Bones]

It’s unforgettable. Lo-fi miserable nonsense with a heart of gold and a head of cobwebs. Just what we’ve come to expect and love from Bearsuit
[It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine]

Super cool!
[Perturb Radio]

Sweet lo-fi Sparklehorse vibes. Nice!
[Adrian Nicolls]

Brilliant release!
[Space Is The Place Radio Show]

Very cinematic. Like digital psychedelia. Actually this is great! [Silver Shadow] Skilfully put together – and quite a mysterious little piece
[Club Integral Radio Show]

His musical constructions are as intricate as they're insane. Audio think-pieces - all of which are greater than great
[Bizarrechats]

What an album! “Mind-spinning”- I totally agree
[Alexander Stordiau]

Ciò che convince dell'album è l'articolazione tra il songwriting e le partiture sonore, messe sempre sullo stesso livello come a voler impregnare le parole di significati più evasivi e opprimenti. Consigliato a chi ama la musica di Flaming Lips, Tindersticks, Grouper, Sparklehorse
