Banlieue is proud to release Les Chroniques du Crépuscule, an EP by Le Fléau des Vignobles as a digital release on Bandcamp and the usual platforms, accompanied by unique merch - a limited run of 7 one of a kind handmade candles designed by Adrienne Kammerer.

Le Fléau des Vignobles is a solo project by s1m0nc3ll0 (@simon-villaret), an artist hailing from the wine-producing Bordeaux region in Southwestern France. Entitled Les Chroniques du Crépuscule (The Chronicles of Dusk), the EP is an homage to all the sagas and various narrative experiences that have made an impression on the artist over the years.

A lifelong fan of fantasy stories, the artist has always been drawn to the imagined worlds that come to life in the many fantasy books, films, RPGs, and video games his collection, with their fully realized worlds, breathtaking illustrations, deep lore, and epic stories full of struggles between light and darkness. The name of his project is a nod to dungeon synth and black metal scenes with their traditional and mythological inspirations along with their mystical, oftentimes larger-than-life personas.

The first thing that one notices while listening to the project is the artists’ unique combination of traditional sounds, melodies, and even words with modern production techniques and a forward-thinking sensitivity.

This is best exemplified in the opening track, which features autotuned singing in Latin by the singer M3C (@m3cmelove), and throughout the EP, where musical elements reminiscent of medieval music and other melodic choices are abundant, with the use of several medieval instruments. But this is not revivalist dungeon synth or some watered-down take on medieval music. Instead, the artist weaves sound tapestries using the influences cited previously and makes the music resolutely his own.

With several identifiable samples, from horror films to cult dance tracks, the EP is marked by a very heartfelt approach to melody and harmony, with a vulnerable, at times bittersweet thread running through the entire work, whether it is on an Elliott Smith cover doused in reverb, IDM / electronica adjacent cuts or more floaty numbers.

As a whole, it is a timeless, dreamy affair, that leaves the listener in a state of aesthetical satisfaction and that activates the more imaginative parts of their minds, in order to take them to truly fantastic places.

You can get your candle on Banlieue’s Bandcamp, including a download code of the EP.  They are here to guide your listening experience. Switch off your light, light your candle, and play the music ✨

OLGA VOL1 : DÉLITEMENT

DÉLITEMENT pose une première question : "Que reste-t-il lorsque les systèmes s'effondrent, les cycles se désynchronisent et les paysages connus disparaissent ?”.

Afin d’y répondre, les artistes présent.e.s sur la compilation proposent dix récits musicaux comme réponses ou tentatives d'interprétations d'autres mondes possibles.

DÉLITEMENT veut illustrer l'expérience sonore d'une personne à la découverte de ces nouvelles réalités à l'œuvre. Iel y voit un monde qui s’affole, où s’entrechoquent des systèmes à bout de souffle, reliques brutalistes d’une société dépassée, un nihilisme festif et une digitalisation exacerbée. Inévitablement, la nature a repris ses droits sur ce monde morne, gluant et pesant, devenant à la fois le danger présent et l'imminence d'un futur à reconstruire.

MR BRIGHTSIDE(M3C REMIX)

"Censure is about the battle of desire in ambiguous relationships. M3C sings a siren song about a partner that censors their emotions despite their animalistic lust and passion. M3C wants to break down their walls, and to let their fiery emotions consume them, together."

We couldn't be happier to introduce @m3cmelove (M3C), our first French speaking artist to be hosted on HyperPop. Making her mark instantly with this single 'Censure', a slow and sensual change of pace to the label (with co-production from Vampiro Maracas & Pakun Jaren), we can't wait to hear more like this from M3C, and other French Pop artists like her!
