Here And Now

Today we have Sadie La Chèvre and Nora Düster - Extra Bleu Ciel, a minimal synth band based in Biel, Switzerland.
Extra Bleu Ciel is a bipolar borderline hyperactive teenager who likes to eat marshmallows at the cemetery.
Extra Blue Ciel cries with joy contemplating the flight of hysterical crows at sunset.
Extra Blue Ciel loves joyful despair and finds joy hopeless.
Extra Bleu Ciel will always be 15 years old in 1981.

"Hypersensible" is the idiosyncratic trace left by individuals oscillating between nightmare reality and waking dream, sailing between naive euphoria and lucid disillusionment, trying to defy fatality and maintain hope, dancing in the pre-diluvian mud of a dying 21st century.

Extra Bleu Ciel - Debility [mms006]

This took a long time to finally manifest. I did some edits, wrote the additional synth, percussion and lyrics around 3 years ago..

I was blacked out and unknowingly had recorded the demo vocals also at this stage. My life took a very different turn for the next 3 years and I gave up on creating things(and things in general) for a while. I accepted being a disappointment to KP like I always do & retreated inside and poisoned myself as much as I could for the next 1009 days The lyrics paint a clear picture that I was on some kind edge and at a point of utter dissolution

I kept promising KP I would finally finish off that track, not knowing I had already done it.

I somehow found my way back to this track a few weeks ago, it was far more complete than I ever remember it being..
I re-recorded the vocals, remixed it and mastered it best I could and here we are in 2025.

So here's a fragment of that journey crystalized now to be exposed to the air and sunlight to sting the wound again.
lyrics
THERE IS A WOUND
THAT GROWS WITHIN ME

DISSOLVING EVERYTHING I WAS

A POOL OF DISEASE
BREEDS WITHIN ME

NO LOVE OR THOUGHTLESS JOY
SHINES THROUGH OUT ME

I WILL PREY UPON MYSELF
PICKING AT EVERY OPEN WOUND
SHATTERED AND APATHETIC
I HAVE A WOUND THAT CANNOT HEAL
oh yeah!

I WILL PREY UPON MYSELF
PICKING AT EVERY OPEN WOUND
SHATTERED AND APATHETIC
I AM A WOUND THAT CANNOT HEAL

OR_42 ≫ Synths Versus Me - The Secret

Bordello A Parigi is on the hunt once again, this time journeying to southern France to unearth an up and coming sect of synthesizer sorcerers: Blind Delon. Hailing from Toulouse, the triumvirate of Mathis Kolkoz, Théo Fantuz and Coco Thiburs offer a sound that combines indie and wave with seemingly effortless execution. The soft interlude of “Sometimes” introduces Assassin. A groove grips pulsing rhythms, subtle strings and throaty vocals in the captivating “Sombre Soleil”. Those vocals become even deeper in the dreamy “J’ai Honte”. Smoke spirals around keys in this brooding work of guitars rifts and bruised egos. The title piece perfectly melds warm strings with cold synthlines for a superb climax to an EP that exudes modern synth-wave chic.

Polar Opposites

Squirrels On Film 03:

Distortion, static electricity & drum machines turned up to eleven, your next Punk-E Rave Party can be appropriately soundtracked with SQUIRRELS ON FILM’s 3rd (or 4th, who’s counting?) EP, ready to de-sanitize any dancefloor prepared for the adventures in sweat-drenched HEAVY RAVING contained within.

Label Headz Solar & C.l.a.w.s. reach beyond their hometown of San Francisco, to Mexico City’s Yoan Rodriguez LOKIER. Her first full EP for the label, following the appearance of “Headless” on the limited edition Various Squirrels Volume Two, contains four tracks of enthrallingly unkempt body music & neo-goth techno depravity. The Artist & DJ currently based in Berlin is half of She Made Monster with Morgan Hammer, & her remix work appears on Throne of Blood, Ivan Smagghe’s Les Disques de la Mort & elsewhere.

“Last One” is first, a gritty workout in horror rave, all overdriven drums, intricately programed to build alongside arpeggiated synth bass and slasher flick strings, at once classic and contemporary. “Not Always Works” is sleazier yet, featuring LOKIER’s distinctive dead-pan distorted vocals, heard recently on Krikor’s LP for L.I.E.S., put to great effect here atop an ear-worm synth riff and again expertly programed drums, never afraid to bleed into the red. Atonal, yet bizarrely melodic strings and pads drift confidently above. “Tmrrw”  makes use of vocal samples over a pummeling industrial techno explosion… like a Nitzer Ebb cassette that’s been duplicated too many times, turned up way too loud, with an angry goth banshee queen telling it like it is through a broken fuzzbox. “What Is Truth” rounds things off in the murky dub/electro bog of your most lucid nightmares, the drums and synths awash in tape echo and reverb.

LOKIER’s music sits perfectly within SQUIRRELS ON FILM's left of center techno punk aesthetic, albeit with clear intentions on the feral dystopian dance party happening near you. SOF is very excited and honored to unleash this wild squirrel into the civilized world, packaged inside another eye-catching, original hand-drawn full color sleeve by New York artist Bert Bergen. It should be clear by now: SQUIRRELS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN.
