Dear 1980s

A war dance
You've opened the pit / Honesty is sick / You try to be honest / Look what you get / The foods run short /And then the money talks / One way out / Your premonition is correct

7" VINYL LIMITED TO 35 COPIES

A - Damages
B - The Storm

The record comes in a special edition of 35 transparent vinyls with a laser cut and screen printed ultra black cover (Fedrigoni 480 gr.). 

After her previous noteworthy projects Phosphor and Minuit Machine, Hélène de Thoury offers, through her first solo project, a cold and synthetic music mixing nagging cold wave and striking electronics. 
« Her Fall And Rise » depicts these moments in life when you swing between dark melancholia and bright hope. The EP spreads all its complexity through 7 tracks and a limited edition vinyl, offered as a real art object with several interpretations. 

'The Storm' music video directed by Jeremy Carne & Nikolas Kasinos (http://theouroboros.co.uk). 

• http://vimeo.com/111617103 • 

Inspired by the dark tones of 'The Storm', directors transcribe a dystopian world parallel to our own, where strange characters appear overnight and own the streets. The characters seem to be observed by someone, they look him and seem to recognize him, but they stay apathetic and intrigued by his presence. 
The director duo 'Ouroboros' plays on the confusion of meaning and disorientation that occurs at night, by suggesting the appearance of beings in unreal appearance. In the form of a dark poetry, they plunge us into a fantasy world populated by demons who haunt us at night, those who come from the past and particularly from our childhood, those who make us believe that we are not alone at night.

H ø R D - Speak (Hante Remix)

Our Lives As Two

Where has all my love gone?
I’ve been late for everything in my life
Her hair ties are in the bedroom
Her hair ties are in the bathroom
Her hair ties are in every fucking room I go into

The flower bloomed 
The flower died
From the salt when we cried
I’ll grab the glue steady my hand
Put the petals back again
Do transplants work on damaged roots?
I hope they do we need them to

®
®
®

I use my mind she is in it
I use my heart she is in it
I use myself and she is always there to remind me of her
Please put that dress on 
You know the one without the back
Please put that dress on
You know the one without the back

The flower bloomed 
The flower died
From the salt when we cried
Let your hair dry naturally
In Le Luc’s sunlight for me
I’ll wreck my ship against the rocks
To kiss those lips to turn you on

Let your hair dry naturally
In Le Luc’s sunlight for me
I’ll wreck my ship against the rocks
To kiss those lips to turn you on

I’ll wreck my ship against the rocks
To kiss those lips to turn you on






Sentimental Fool

Enjoy The Covers is an unabashed love offering laid at the alter of the Greatest Electronic Band of all time and presented to them by the bands they influenced!

Formed in 1980, the songs of Gahan, Gore, Fletcher, and company have been influencing synth slingers and electrophiles from day one.

ÆON RINGS are a synthpop duo from Brooklyn, whose menacing dance floor burners and soaring synth work is a numbing spectacle of light and sound for lovers of the 80′s revival.

Lyrics:

Nothing’s gonna happen
I’m sinking in a fantasy 
If we love each other
Why can’t we be dreaming together?

Nothing’s gonna happen
I cannot stand reality
Does true love only exist?
I don’t want to live in a french movie

Hante. is releasing her album "No Hard Feelings" on the 6th of September. Repartiseraren has gotten a hold of the third song off this release, titled "Une Nuit Avec Mon Ennemi". 

On this release, it feels like Hante. has grown out of her first stage and fully embraced the more theatrical, atmospheric and poppier side of her music. 

The blaring synthesizers, the jabbing percussion, everything is clad with a shroud of black - but with a meaning, an intent. It is beautiful in all its mystery and misery.

"No Hard Feelings" will be available digitally, as a limited edition digipack-CD and limited edition white vinyl.

The lyrics are a metaphor in french for insomnia.

Lyrics:

Je ferme les yeux Tu te ballades sous mes paupières
Commence alors notre petit jeu Celui du loup et du coeur de pierre

Les mots s’embrasent Sur tes lèvres closes dans la pénombre
Les heures se fanent La nuit se consume et je sombre
