Zebres Records is back with its second release, celebrating Plein Soleil's first solo release with a mini-album blending his percussion, ambient and dub aspirations. The French musician, also part of the psychedelic trio Société Etrange, experimental duo Pan! Pan! Pan! and Omertà explores its large, DIY instrumentation, working his percussions and rhythms towards a dub, fourth-world space, ruling out every cliché associated with the genre, instead generously filling this "U.V." release with mesmerizing agitation. The 12" will be out in August, distributed by Glasgow's Rubadud.

About Zèbres:
Zèbres was founded in 2017, in Lyon (France), by Frère Zèbre, also responsible for the creation of the now Lyon, Paris and Brussels-based LYL webradio, and Lyon’s Bistrot Senior. This flexible, loose entity is now collective: long time partner in design La Brigade Cynophile is in, as well as Raymonde who impulsed the label with his first release (and is also founder of the experimental platform Mus Joutra), and finally by Tom Chaussette, tall, dark shade working in the background. 

No aim, no tempo, no plans. It’s been four years since our first release, and there’ll be maybe another decade to the next, maybe not. We’ll probably release more with greater-Lyon artists, maybe beyond. Maybe we’ll keep on publishing the tribal-ish, dub-ish, experimental-ish, DIY-100% cuts, perhaps not. We’ll most certainly stay focused on contemporary musicians, yet we dig different eras, so again, we won’t say. One thing is for (almost) sure though: we’ll keep the DIY ethics integral.

Plein Soleil - A1 - CUNEIFORME
