Jean-Luc waves grotesquely from the barge full of mischief and foggy dreams, while presenting :

Le Thabor", pour l'grand Nico.

A tribute to the boat. With captain Alexia on vocals. And song made for Nico, that handsome sailor. Recorded during a residency on the Urban-boat. This song is totally inspired by Alain Bonnefont's "Tous les états". It is the end of January, and the swans are hiding.

Thanks to Martin and Rita.

Kisses from the "Noir Pays"

Jean-Luc et Alexia - Le "Thabor" (Pour l'grand Nico) (free DL)

We're very pleased to open our communal door to X.Y.R. @x-y-r

Vladimir (aka X.Y.R.) very kindly took the time to share his thoughts on the EP below:

'Vision Quest' is a ritual of dedication - initiation, which helps to correctly pass through important life changes, rapid events, accelerate the manifestation of the True Self and clarify life goals. When the old relationship between a person and the world around him becomes impossible due to changes, there comes a time and a need for transition. We encounter limitations either in ourselves (changing needs, opportunities, values, inability to live in the same ways), or in the world around us. It's a process that helps you get out of the vicious circle of old relationships, recognize changes, find your own answer to the question "Who am I now?" and return to the world to build new relationships.

I have always created worlds in my music where the listener could escape and hide from external factors in order to feel comfortable and protected so that they can think about eternal and important things, no matter what happens outside.

This album is inspired by my trip to India 7 years ago. In this way, I wanted to express my gratitude to those wonderful places where I spent an unforgettable time, especially the state of Kerala and those wonderful people who helped and guided me in this. I wanted to share those healing emotions and field recordings from what I learned in this quest.....my Vision Quest.

The EP is available now on cassette via our Online Store & Boomkat, with all copies of the cassette coming with a download coupon.

Concave Reflection - A Certain Tenderness (STW Premiere)

ΚΕΜΑΛ "This Kid Is Stoned And Paranoid" mix for Movement Radio

We’ve patiently waited after LSW’s 2019 debut “Life Style West” and it was more than worth it. The Düsseldorf group is blessing us with their sophomore work “Mir Tut Alles Weh” — Everything Hurts. But why does it feel so good?

This 11-track double LP is guaranteed to be a hit in your local Stammkneipe. Packed with forward-thinking nostalgia, poetic impressions of western decadence, LSW are certifying that punk remains posh in the Federal Republik of Germany. 

In an undeniably candombléan set up, Leonard Horres, Sebastian Welicki, Gregor Darman and Aki Vierboom continue their weird world building with a more mature sound. A holistic, detailed production that leaves you finding new elements at every listen.

Broken only by occasional melodic whispers, Horres introduces us to his city with ecstatic reiterations of his deepest, most deconstructed and sarcastically self-depreciating narratives. Dampened, forward-moving, industrial rhythms, orchestrated upon with live instrumentation and spherical synths pull us back and forth between dirty streets and the light clouds above. All with that chique nonchalance we cannot withstand. 

Is this the new Deutsche Welle? Or eclectic Angstwave at its finest? Whatever, Schatz.

CNDMBLE 009: LSW - Mir tut alles weh

You Can Can is an echoed affirmation, an album which traces song forms around silence, field recordings, and degraded analog memories. This is folk music transmogrified and mutated, as if recorded and reconstructed in Pierre Schaffer’s GRM studio.

Not your typical Mariposa folk duo, the group is comprised of Toronto avant-music scene stalwarts, vocalist Felicity Williams (Bernice, Bahamas) and bricolage artist and synthesist Andrew Zukerman (Fleshtone Aura, Badge Epoch). The album feels like a somnambulant conversation, fragmented and half-remembered with Williams’ vocals traveling through a landscape of field recordings and Zukerman’s saturated concrète topographies. It is an electro-acoustic assemblage, both analog and digital, comprised of air, electricity, minerals, wood, and water. Although the album nods towards traditional forms of folk and musique concrète (if at this point it can be called a traditional form), it is outwardly and inwardly contemporary; non-linear, citational, opaque, and sui generis. In a way it feels like a sonic index of the narrative experiments found on the infamous Language school-related publisher The Figures, in the work of Lyn Hejinian, Clark Coolidge, and Lydia Davis. In the musical continuum, the album picks up where Linda Perhacs left off in the early 70’s—explored by Gastr Del Sol in the ‘90s—a convergence of rural acoustic idioms and urban avant-electronics. This is country music for the discerning cosmopolitan citizen of the 21st Century.

Temple is proud to present our 5th record to date, New World Science - Osmos (Movements).

Comprised of four recordings/jams between @priori-ties (the mastermind behind the project), @ex-terrestrial, and Emmanuel Thibau, and with appearances by @ramzihouti and @richardwenger, Osmos (Movements) is a sincere foray into a forth-world fantasy, where disparate synthesizer styles are tied together by Emmanuel Thibau’s harmonized saxophone musings. 

These multi-stream compositions float in those uncertain spaces between electronic and acoustic, improvisation and production, old and new. It’s these uncertain spaces we’ve grown to love, and hopefully you’ll have as much trouble describing this record as we have, because that’s what it’s all about.

Artwork by the incredible Tomasz Kowalski (front cover) and Adam Feingold (back cover).

Available in early March at all your favourite shops.

O.S.S. (Open Sound System) is a new collaborative project from music producers @unknown-mobile and @napmusick  
A product of friendship, O.S.S. was made by Daniel Rincon and Levi Bruce over a course of impromptu studio sessions and hangouts between Canadian coasts. O.S.S. The EP features five suites, which aim to invoke “god rays,” - the rays of sunlight that are amplified by the passing of clouds at dusk. Luminous, deep and subtle tones mimic crepuscular light in a way that feels cinematic and spiritual. We’re happy to premiere the second suite on the EP, "Blanga," a meandering sweet tune, featuring a collage of samples, synths, Romplers and VSTs.
