It’s been a few years since Captain Mustache took a ride with Kompakt – 2021, to be exact, when he released the “Everything” single, and subsequently made an appearance on that year’s entry in the Total series. But this visionary French producer has been busy, indeed fiercely productive, ever since, appearing on Helena Hauff’s Return To Disorder and John Digweed’s Bedrock, collaborating with Dave Clarke, Popof, The Advent, Paris The Black Fu, Keith Tucker from AUX88... and two beautifully eloquent albums, Tourbillon Nocturne and Indigo Memories. But with The Super Album, Captain Mustache returns to Kompakt with his most sublime collection yet.

On The Super Album, the Captain soundtracks an imagined “whole day for party people.” He welcomes friends old and new on board: opening with the poetic club banger of “About Love”, with guest appearance from Speakwave (aka dynArec), The Super Album shifts gears into the lush, sunny “Shifting Basslines”, where Captain Mustache’s pulsing electro-disco is the perfect fit for a third collaboration with electroclash pioneers Chicks on Speed.

After the deep techno pulsations of “Laser Me” and the glitzy pop shine of “Gimme Ya Mustache”, more guests arrive: Arnaud Rebotini of Black Strobe on the slinky “I Love Watching U”, and then a spoken cameo from the truly legendary French disco diva Amanda Lear on “Mustache Of The Universe”, a glitzy glitterball of a song that’s shrouded in ghostly synths.

Fiona MacLeith: Portrait of an Unsung Artist

Fiona MacLeith, a Scottish singer-songwriter, embodies a new generation of artists who prioritize the authenticity of their work over public recognition. At 27, this enigmatic artist now divides her time between the misty landscapes of the Scottish Highlands and the creative energy of the Belleville neighborhood in Paris.

Musical Journey

Fiona MacLeith's journey is marked by early musical training. Introduced to traditional Scottish singing as a child in Edinburgh pubs where her grandfather played the bagpipes, she developed a unique voice early on, tinged with Celtic melancholy and a rare emotional intensity. As a teenager, she discovered the worlds of PJ Harvey, Portishead, and Massive Attack, influences that would shape her vocal approach and poetic songwriting.

After studying English literature at the University of Glasgow, Fiona joined several local indie-folk bands between 2017 and 2020, performing in intimate clubs in Edinburgh and Glasgow. It was during this time that she honed her writing style, characterized by introspective lyrics exploring themes of isolation, fragmented identity, and disillusionment with modernity. However, weary of the constraints of the commercial music scene and the media exposure it entails, she decided to step away from the spotlight to focus exclusively on the essence of her art.

A Radical Artistic Philosophy

Fiona MacLeith has made the deliberate choice to release no photographs of herself and to refuse all forms of self-promotion. For her, the artist must efface themselves before the work. This approach, reminiscent of that of certain contemporary artists who favor anonymity, stems from a deep conviction: music should speak for itself, without being obscured by image, marketing, or the cult of personality. None of her tracks can be found on distribution networks, nor is there any trace of her on music streaming sites like Deezer or Spotify.

"I want my words and voice to exist without a face," she confides in a rare written statement. "The music should be a space where listeners project their own emotions, not mine." ("I want my words and my voice to exist without a face." "Music should be a space where listeners project their own emotions, regardless of mine.")

A Voice to Discover

Her voice is described as unique and moving: a deep, velvety timbre, sometimes broken, that navigates between fragility and power. It possesses that rare quality of a voice that seems to carry within it several lives, several stories. Against Philippe Lebraud's hypnotic synth pads, her vocal range finds an ideal setting, creating a dramatic tension between the organic and the electronic, between the intimate and the universal.

The Magic Hands Of Fernando Del Rey

A1) Ted Milton – Love Is Like A Violēnce ‎​
A2) Ted Milton – It’s Only Recently That Stalins Have Begun To Roost​

AA1) Blurt – The Ruminant Plinth​

Blurt are perhaps the act who have played live at Optimo more than any other. Active for close to 40 years they are one of the UK’s all time great acts, phenomenal live and on record and supremely underrated.

Blurt mainman Ted Milton is a living legend. Now in his 70s but more vibrant on stage than most artists 50 years his junior, he is a man of many talents; artist, poet, musician, performer….

In 1984 he released a solo 12”; “Love Is Like A Violēnce”, a no doubt accidental dancefloor gem completely out of kilter with any other music of the era that now makes total sense in 2017. Dubbed out stabs, programmed rhythm, trademark sax squeals and a more subdued than normal vocal that is strangely reminiscent of Vincent Price. Thee definition of a cult classic and much in demand, side A of this 12” presents the A and B side (the equally outre “It's Only Recently That Stalins Have Begun To Roost”) of this mighty 12” on one side of vinyl.

“The Ruminant Plinth” is but one of multiple classic tracks in the Blurt catalogue and is a long, long time personal favourite that takes pride of place of the other side. Tribal hypno rhythms, chicken wire guitar, sax and Milton’s voice on fire, this was a genuine party starter on the Optimo dance floor on Sunday nights in Glasgow. So louche it should probably be banned.

12” vinyl release in full picture sleeve designed by Glasgow artist Andrew Beltran.

Released on vinyl (and digital) on January 19th 2018. Distributed by Kompakt.

Null + Void -  Where I Wait (feat. Dave Gahan) Remixes Pt .3  Alva Noto / Úlfur Eldjárn 

Building on the remix project of Null + Void’s (@nullandvoidmusic) ‘Where I Wait’, the third part of the project invites the one and only Alva Noto (@alvanoto) to provide his magic to Kurt Uenala’s standout track from last year’s album.

Carsten Nicolai needs little introduction, but it is fair to say that his Alva Noto project has collapsed the boundaries between techno, noise and soundtracks over his long and illustrious career.

Here he dives into ‘Where I Wait’ with precision tools, producing a thick, atmospheric electro rhythmic bed for Dave Gahan’s iconic vocals. The track finds a deep groove and sticks to it - the analog richness of the synth pulses a result of his unending quest for sonic brilliance.

The Alva Noto remodel dub strips away much of the vocals, but leaves fragments in place, dubbed out and sparse.

Also included on this release is the Aristókrasía Version in collaboration with Iceland’s Úlfur Eldjárn (@ulfureldjarn) - previously surfaced towards the end of last year following the Cryosleep album, but here given a new lease of life in all its rich, neoclassical grandeur. Sweeping strings replace the electro pulses, and provide a totally new perspective on the track.
