The Llamps: I Must Go

Here we are! Back for the second volume of Back from the Canigó ! In the same spirit as Back from the Grave, our goal is to look back at what happened in the South of France near Perpignan at the beginning of the 21st century.
 As you can hear it in the first volume, the city of Perpignan (and its region, Northern Catalonia) has been a strong place for underground rock'n'roll for many years. In the 90’s, there were a lot of garage bands and an important mods community. These guys created a spirit in the city that’s still present today.

Les Bellas: Belladelic

Heratius could be described as like a mix of Etron Fou Leloublan and Faust (in acoustic mode that is), with hints of Albert Marcoeur, Red Noise, in a music that is full of invention with typically French eccentric touches. This double LP features the studio album Les Boniments (1979) - never before released on vinyl - and the first ever vinyl reissue of Gwendolyne (1978).

Founded in 2010, on the ashes of Los Santos, an ultra-local band well recognized by the veterans of the Perpignan scene, The Hands is a quartet with its roots as much in the modern garage scene of the mid-2000s (like Jack Of Heart, Movie Star Junkies or The Intelligence) as in more classic groups such as the Gun Club, Joy Division or Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd.
After two self-produced albums, "On The Words" (2014) and "We Are Other Men" (2016) and a few European tours, their third album, "Reflections", finally arrives in 2022 after six years of absence.
Recorded by their friend Renaud Picard (Crank, Hair & The Iotas), mixed by Briane Blanc (the band's singer) and mastered by Luis Mazzoni at Vintage Sound Studio, this third album is perhaps their mostly anticipated and surely their best so far.
Alternating between heady tracks like "Thanks" or "In The Middle“ and softer songs like "We Are So Lame“ and "Seven Years“, the group reveals their real identity throughout the ten songs of this album. As always self-produced for their own label Broken Arm Records, "Reflections“ will be released in collaboration with Staubgold and Cougouyou Music.

Formed in Perpignan in the South of France in 2019, Minerves emerge with the furious longing to reshape the sound landscapes of a certain adolescence that received the bursts of Velvet Underground, the mysterious revelations of the early Pixies, the tormented verses of Sonic Youth.

Nurtured by pop psych garage and 90s post punk, the four Minerves wake up at dusk and attempt a naive, nocturnal and hungry topology of rock'n'roll. Produced by Briane Santo B., the tireles preacher of Perpignan garage, Minerves' first eponymous album is released by Staubgold and its French subsidiary Cougouyou Music.

Following on from the release of ‘Modern Jazz Dance Classics, Volume One’ in 2019, which was popular on the jazz underground, the Staubgold’s MJDC sub label returns with another compilation comprising mainly of contemporary artists carefully selected by DJ Jeff The Fish, this time on a Latin trip for ‘Sol Vibrations: Latin Dance Movements’.
 There are carefully selected tracks from all over the world to make a great set and selection, including three acts based in Catalonia (Tromboranga, The Santiago Acevedo Ensemble and Antoine ‘Tato’ Garcia), some from the US (Camille, EC3), the UK (Alex Wilson, Born 74), France (Mayomi, Camarao Orkestra), Japan (Jizue), Brazil (Fabio Chagas), Cuba (Jean Pablo Torres) and Uruguay (La Calenda Beat).

Sol Vibrations: Latin Dance Movements

Antoine 'Tato' Garcia: La Rumba Me Va (Jeff The Fish Rework)

Pascal Comelade and Richard Pinhas met in Paris in 1974, when Pinhas was beginning to go on stage with his group Heldon. With Heldon and, afterwards, solo, Pinhas became the pioneer and accelerator of electronic music in France, and a fundamental reference throughout the world. Comelade’s electronic period was much shorter, from 1974 to 1981. From 1983 on, he developed his policy of instrumental, strictly acoustic music.
Comelade and Pinhas met again in 2020 for this LP album, "Le plan de Paris". It contains six titles that were either previously unreleased or completely revisited, developed, remixed.
