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.

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.

Sun Ra & His Myth Science Arkestra - Angels And Demons At Play (Original Tape Master)

Perpignan Burning: the Southern French capital of garage rock in search of the riff. Or as Lou Reed would put it: „You can’t beat two guitars, bass, and drums.“ Content: 27 previously unreleased tracks on the double LP and six digital-only bonus tracks. 

All tracks on this compilation were recorded in or around Perpignan, France, and go to the musical extremes of an extreme city. Whether garage punks or freakbeat mods, country punks or city rockers, whether pioneers or new to the scene: the only thing that counts is the riff.

Pascal Comelade, infamous riff explorer since the 1970s, is the unlikely godfather of this bunch of punks and rockers. He opens the trip with his emblematic cover design and closes it with his own Riffifi orchestra to the ultimate riff of The Stooges’ „I Wanna Be Your Dog“.

Imagine a road trip aboard a beautiful American convertible, the landscape passes by and you can hear this warm Sixties soundtrack of Santa Maria Death Trip somewhere between the surf rock of La Luz, the sunny pop of Allah-Las and the psychedelic garage sound of their Perpignan fellows The Limiñanas.
After two EPs, critically acclaimed by the French specialized press like Rock & Folk and Rolling Stone, here is their first full-length album «Lili’s Garden», released on Staubgold/Cougouyou Music in 2025.

For the first time officially available outside of Colombia, Bogota's Meridian Brothers present on the Staubgold label a delightfully surreal and playful compilation of their works from 2005 to 2011. "Devoción (Works 2005 - 2011)" features the best moments of three albums which previously have only been released on the local Colombian La Distritofónica label. Traditional instruments, electronics and distorted vocals are dragged through an array of influences to create a world that is as original as it is unclassifiable.

Straddling the line between new and old, the Meridian Brothers' mischievous blend of Latin rhythms and psychedelic grooves is the creation of Eblis Álvarez, one of the key figures of the experimental music scene in Bogota. As with all of the Meridian Brother's releases, every instrument on "Devoción (Works 2005 - 2011)" was played and recorded by Eblis himself. A true avant-garde guitar player and composer he also plays in Mario Galeano's band Frente Cumbiero and was one of the 42 musicians involved in the recording of Ondatrópica, released through Soundway Records in 2012.

A real musical maverick, labelled a genius by his contemporaries in Colombia, Eblis Álvarez and his Meridian Brothers finally get the full, worldwide attention they deserve.
