Imarhan -  Tahabort

À Paris : le goudron est gris, les pigeons agressifs et l'air chargé. C’est exactement tout ce que cherchent à éviter Adrien, Antoine, David et Douglas. Les quatre compères se sentent à l’aise dans des espaces plus verdoyants. CABUCO, c’est cet exotisme fantasmé. 

David et Douglas - respectivement échappés de BURNING PEACOCKS et FLO MORISSEY - alimentent le projet avec des rythmes pop 90’s auxquels s’ajoutent la mélancolie d’Antoine et Adrien. En découle la musique d'un quartet nourri d'absurde et de second degré.

*** Lyrics ***
Send out into space
Never ending frames
Universe before 
My eyes, my eyes
	
Another galaxy
Colouring my ride
Somewhere in between 	
I'm free, I'm free

I want to meet the invisible me
Can't be haunted enough 	
To wake up and see
This is not the only reality 	
That is loading

I fall into dimensions	
This is it, that is all that I know
All that I know

Humankind is young
Sleeping with their eyes open	
Closed down higher thought
It feels wrong
So wrong that I 	

Fall into dimensions
This is it, that is all that I know 
All that I know

I am an ocean 	
The ocean is in my eye 	
My being is your being 	
Your being is my being

Maria Usbeck's solo debut, Amparo, is a collection of songs written and recorded across the span of three years in Ecuador, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Barcelona, Lisbon, Easter Island, Costa Rica, Florida, L.A. and her home in Brooklyn. Though the songs were composed electronically, Amparo called for an acoustic treatment, so Usbeck spent a winter in the studio recording the arrangements live with producer Caroline Polachek and mixer & engineer Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. Fleshed out in full sonic color on the marimba, xylophone, quena flute, piano, and harp, the album stretched into something hi-fi and expressive, meditative but not meandering.

Amparo stems from Usbeck's desire to compose in Spanish, her native language. Growing up in Quito, Usbeck was immersed in salsa, merengue, bachata, and Andean music, but was more attracted to German and American culture than to her own, and moved to America by herself at 17. After five years of fronting new wave outfit Selebrities and writing songs in English, Usbeck experienced a delayed-onset homesickness and knew it was time to "let the mother tongue speak." The impulse manifested itself directly: Amparo takes its title from Usbeck's middle name and her mother's name, and translates roughly as "to guide, protect, and embrace." Usbeck wields her Spanish lyrics cleverly while folding in snippets of several other far-flung tongues: Rapa Nui from Easter Island, Quichua from Ecuador, Bribri from Costa Rica, and Catalan. Because these lyrics were composed while visiting the countries from which they originate, their usage is more impressionistic than literal, like a mockingbird imitating fragments of other bird calls. Similarly, Usbeck reinterprets the Ecuadorian music that she grew up with as a newcomer, returning home with fresh ears, and as such the sounds are very much her own.

The backbone of Amparo is percussion, vibrating throughout with timbales, tumbas, a talking drum, bongos, shakers, and an Indian flat drum, with the gaps filled in by her field recordings of birds, beaches, and jungles. The songs were written and recorded chronologically, with the exception of the closing track, a cover of Colourbox’s “Tarantula” reimagined in Usbeck’s Spanish translation. Amparo is a reflection of the textures of Usbeck's childhood. It is also a distinctly grown-up pop record – a travel diary, music made by a visiting outsider to tap into a shared core of human expression. Emotively, Usbeck is her most powerful on piano ballads "Uno De Tus Ojos" and "Jungla Inquieta," but is a magnetic narrator throughout, moving between whispers, chants, and lullabies. Amparo pulses with many stories in many voices, but they flow together seamlessly like water, leaving behind a wordless hum.

Amparo is released May 27 via Cascine in North America, Labrador in Euope and Rallye in Japan.

"Keep It Close To Me” appears on Yoncalla, the debut album by Yumi Zouma.

Where Yumi Zouma’s previous EPs were created in isolation, capturing the nuances of each member’s life half a world away, Yoncalla was given a singular voice. “Yumi Zouma has always been an exercise in refining ideas and collaborating,” reflects guitarist Charlie Ryder, “but this was the first time we weren’t limited or protected by distance. With Yoncalla, the process was different, and it can be scary to present raw ideas to your friends ‐ but it’s also incredible to see songs evolve through the sparks of inspiration that bounce between people in the same room.” That intimacy is apparent on Yoncalla ‐ an album about being close to people, rather than miles apart. Yumi Zouma’s effortless waves of harmony have been redefined and the creative process laid bare to expose an act more unguarded and interconnected than ever before. 

To capture the concepts on Yoncalla, New Zealand visual artist Henrietta Harris was tapped to create the cover art, illustrating the band together on a front cover for the first time.

Written on the way back from a road-trip celebrating their coming of age, “SLOW” is the debut EP of duo Lucas Mokrani and Claire Lengaigne. Linked by the spirit of evasion and spiritual elevation, these songs find their roots from the band's time into the wild. An introspection of the world, a quest for this moment of transcendence, dancing and chanting over minimal and elegant production. A poetic journey laying out the base of what’s to come from SAAVAN.

[ LYRICS ]

Hey now 
I don't wanna grow old 
Don't know how I
Could escape and go 
to a place where 
you don't get too close
from what I'm scared of
I don't wanna go home
Hey I
Don't wanna get low 
they fade out
seem to be so slow
Hey now 
I don't wanna grow old 
Don't know how I
Could escape and go
