WHAT ON EARTH (Que Diable)

Black Elephant (feat. Ben Shemie)

Preorder now on Juno: https://bit.ly/3TrGBHm

Tantalisingly difficult to categorise, Oiseaux-Tempete return with their sixth studio album, dense and challenging - but also rewarding - as ever and we have the pleasure of premiering one of the cuts from it.
The project is Paris-based but features members of much celebrated acts like SUUNS and Jerusalem In My Heart, and this LP seems to revolve around  centrepiece 'A Man Alone In A One Man Poem', an 11 minute epic of sequencer throb, frantic live drumming and dark poetry.  At the other end of the spectrum, the sonic purity of 'Terminal Velocity' - almost entirely made up of violin notes - and Tortoise-like ambient piece 'Waldganger' provide calming counterpoints.  Unpredictable and unprecedented throughout, however, this is a treat for those who like their music atmospheric and adventurous in equally generous amounts.

PREORDER

PREMIERE: Oiseaux Tempete - Nu.e.s Sous La Comète [Sub Rosa]

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere 'Voodoo Spinning’ by OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE. After having signed the soundtrack of the bewitching Tunisian film Tlamess (Sortilège) by Ala Eddine Slim in 2020, Oiseaux-Tempête immerses us with WHAT ON EARTH (Que Diable) in a collapsed future. Co-released by Sub Rosa & NAHAL Recordings, this cutting-edge 9-tracker defies the music genre boundaries -  it's a dystopian psychedelic trip through hypnotic pulsations and explosive sound textures created with drum machines, analog synths, percussions, guitars, mellotron, flute, saxophone, vocals, rhodes, piano, violin and electric buzuk. Cosmic ambiences with tones recalling the space journeys from that sui generis 70's German Skies à la Ash Ra Tempel, Cluster and Amon Düül,  radiating into an expanding musical cosmos.

Frédéric D. Oberland (FR — ZamZamRec, IIKKI, NAHAL Recordings)

Des océans opaques, des cieux déguisés de nuées, des continents qui se cherchent : c’est à la surface de cette anatomie de la durée que pérégrine Frédéric D. Oberland, depuis la jeunesse, les groupes et les rêves, au travers de pratiques multi-instrumentistes farouchement autodidactes, vers la litanie pulvérulente du monde.

" Dans les vents solaires qui disperseront la poussière de vos précédentes incarnations, vous reconnaîtrez la clameur. "

« Solstices » est le quatrième opus solo de l’artiste, lui-même en circulation entre les groupes qu’il a cofondés : Oiseaux-Tempête, FOUDRE ! Le Réveil Des Tropiques, FareWell Poetry.

"FOUDRE! emerges as a rare seismic force created in 2015 by three major activists from the independent scene: Frédéric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Tempête), Romain Barbot (Saåad), and Paul Régimbeau (Mondkopf). They are portrayed by international press as "super-depth sounders", "laboratories of the unheard generating a fascinating sonic magma with rugged beauty", or "Badalamenti and Vangelis covered in dust and gravel". Their collective ethos is characterized by an insatiable appetite for urgency, boundless experimentation, and the spontaneous combustion of live performances.

"Melancholic. Intense. Deep. Epic. “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” is a tribute to electricity and telluric forces, a complete celebration of life, a symbiosis for an epistemic shift. “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” is the sixth opus by FOUDRE!, a trio featuring core members from Oiseaux-Tempête, Saåad & Mondkopf. 
As the first work recorded in studio, “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” is the virtuosic result of a recording session orchestrated by Camille Jamain, sound engineer and acoustician. The album emerges as a powerful electronic masterpiece, consisting of 8 tracks whose narrative dimension evokes the score of a sci-fi movie, transporting us through the labyrinths of a neo-Lovecraftian vision, into a post-AKIRA world where human and non-human life could (re)become possible, where all forms of (sur)living beings could cohabit once again... 

Since their purely exhilarating experience at the Visions Festival in 2019, FOUDRE! has undergone a delightful metamorphosis. The creative forces of the three-headed monster get unleashed. The musicians seek less the mental than the physical, embracing a frantic, corporeal, and direct turn. With “Voltæ (Chthulucene)”, the trio, identified as drone ambient, takes a twist resolutely post-techno. Emancipatory alloy of English rave, punk urgency, and electronica, with strange and electrifying echoes of ancient trad sounds. Hybrid and telepathic orchestra, composed of analog synthesizers and modular systems organically connected to acoustic instruments (baglama, winds, percussion, vocals), forming a kind of neural network twinkling at the heart of the night. 

Between contemplation, lightning flashes and illumination : the pulse, the rhythm. Hallucinated time fraction, progressing through a 3D landscape, stroboscopic and technicolor effects. A tale of struggles and resistances on universal and microscopic scale, images of cybernetic fauna and flora, a psychedelic futuristic delirium where hybrid characters of human/machine/vegetable could start to dance, mutate, and merge within everything around them. 

An intensity, an elegance reminiscent of Pita’s records on Editions Mego, the originality and intelligence of the music of Autechre, the legendary electronic abstract duo from Manchester, the energy and fervour of Black Dice, the technoid noise rock trio from Brooklyn, as well as the softness and beauty of the Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. 

The album cover is signed by Brulex, featuring creatures and chimeras, with a concrete and colorful stroke, in correspondence with the album and the U-turn of FOUDRE!, decisive and brilliant."

A month since the release of 'Regarde Le Monde Br​û​ler' Vol​.​2', Paris-based imprint Intervision gear up to release 'Mirage' from Tbilisi-based producer Saphileaum...Our pick is the opening track ‘Equator‘. Providing rainforest echoes for the occasion, Saphileaum delivers a subtropical piece of downtempo starting with high-spirited soundscapes backed by space-echoed flutes, before leading to a highly-arranged storm of percussions.

On his debut single through Puddle, @elandro.b delights us with a mysterious tribal and hypnotic beat with a dystopian and cinematic feeling to it. Its organic sounds and metallic pitched percussions add layers upon layers of satisfying rhythms and textures that will for sure transport the listener to a space outside of this time.

NO (feat. VIOLET POISON) Smashing Tape Records 2024

Swiftly after the release of his Jensen & Friends LP, Jensen Interceptor returns with his first solo release in over three years. 'Thermiac Rise' is a fast-paced, peak-time explosion of rhythm and grooves that traverses juke, breaks, tribal, deconstructed club, and experimental techno. The EP is named after the Thermiac Gulf in Greece, where part of Jensen's family hails from, and the inspiration goes deeper than just the title. Jensen has delved into the sounds, both ancient and modern, of his motherland. Whether sampling sounds from some of his favourite Thessaloniki-based drill artists or incorporating live recordings of the Lyra and Pandura, he has woven these elements into the architectural fabric of all four tracks, along with all the humour, charm & typical Jensen hallmarks we would come to expect from the one man Berlin based club banger machine.

Changing Habits

B1. Matriarchy Roots - Lifestyle (After The Rise Comes The Fall)[ST008]

Ritualistic expression of motivated suppression, Meer's interpretation of the original seeks a no-nonsense outlet curated by night's terrors.

"Universal Poison is Istigkeit's first EP on his own imprint. For this big first, Istigkeit has decided to unveil some early works which were originally supposed to be out on the label of a fellow artist who unfortunately put it on a hiatus.

The release takes dance music down a dark alley and mostly offers dancefloor-unfriendly beats.
The whole piece can be described as a blend of cold broken techno and industrial music with black/doom metal influences. It is composed with four original tracks and four remixes by Meer, Töria, Halv Drøm and Nigh/T\mare."

Strange Therapy presents a new name in its ever-growing roster: the French duo Second Spectre . A Cast of Memories is the name of their 8-track cassette here presented, a new chapter with a haunting rhythmic approach and filled with beautiful emotional cinematic soundscapes.

“Do You Believe In God” is a crawling and dark affair which starts with a subtle movement reaching harsher expression quite soon. An interplay between rhythmic mantras and ominous atmospheres guide us among a decadent reality, and during the second half of the track we collide into pure chaotic noise touching power electronics influences before returning to evocative effects. “Absolution” is like a horror movie made music, starting with droning lines and sudden bursts of hard-hitting blasts. A broken structure becomes the main movement, paused by eerie ambiances. Militant marches and technoid grimness become one in an obsessive mantra underlined by sacramental undertones. “Chaos Is A Ladder” has an almost urban feeling thanks to its breakbeat innuendos, but the listener will find himself among a city destroyed by an apocalyptic event. A cinematic atmosphere crafts a frantic chase with triumphal underlines, but the episode is ready to surprise us with modern, mechanical sounds. A fusion between epic and harsh aiming to conquer and transport us to a mental movie. “Death Note” slowly grows into a ritualistic evocation via sharp effects and industrial kicks, a serpentine pastiche no strange to subtle distortions and droning moments. Once again we find ourselves in a dark world conjured by aptly placed soundscapes and rhythmic patterns released at the right time, and the last part of the track sees a celestial climax. 

“Wisdom” reinstates the movie-like world of the album, starting with sombre patterns and then adding ominous vocal samples. After a while we find ourselves in a bombastic gallop which grows in intensity without really exploding. Instead, shrilling dissonances herald menacing orchestrations and interplays between broken rhythms. “Fear God” works like an interference made music, employing throbbing distortions and glorious, riffing lines in a fine example of obsessive rhythmic structures. Various tempos have their say during the course of the track, so the listener will find themself racing with their mind between sonic corridors. “Deadly Harvest” works as a study in suspense and tension, making its way with drone loops until it reaches more of a rhythmic momentum. A sort of dark d'n'bass movement takes its place in the composition, offering a very interesting moment for the listener. Heavily distorted vocals give an old-school feeling to the track, while eerie ambiances show themselves among the sounds. “Before It Disappears” ends our journey with a final cinematic statement made of dark orchestrations and sparse distortions. The drilling tension gives itself up in a robotic march empowered by almost melancholic lines. Once again Second Spectre shows their more emotional side to the listener. The mix between evoking stances and steady rhythmic loops is the perfect epitaph for this engaging work.
