We love music !!
agnès b. has always lived in music!
From Bob Marley’s 33 tours that kept going on in the first shop opened in 1976 rue du Jour to the web radio that the stylist launches now, music has always occupied an important place.
Naomie Klaus, Youth looks so good on you
Friday December 7, 2023, 5PM (Paris time)
“When forty, I was still wearing miniskirts, extravagant patterns, pink, fluorescent colours, star shaped earrings. I walked around with my leopardskin hat, my fluffy bag, my floral outfit, until the gaze of others made me feel like it was not age appropriate anymore.
Although I am still the same person I was at 16. It's the others I see changing."
There's no better way to describe ageing than through the gap that arises and continues to grow between physical reality and the specular image of the self : one deteriorates over time, exposed to the cruel laws of gravity and oxydation, while the other never ages, remaining intact and unaltered... frozen in a moment of blissfulness. The more time goes by the more the gap becomes a separate entity (ou “world” pour etre plus prosaïque). It can become so painful that many try to escape it, using and abusing every trickery.
“Youth looks so good on you” is a sonic ballad which bizarrely explores the world that lies between reality and self-fantasy, a world where the aesthetic cult of youth becomes sovereign to the people.
This piece was produced in 2022 as part of the Festival « Les Heures Sauvages - Nef des Marges dans l'ombre des certitudes », at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris.
After "A Story of a Global Disease" in 2022, "Youth looks so good on you" is the second piece of music by Naomie Klaus released on Moli Del Tro records ahead of her next album, due in 2024.

Salopecia Pox Calypso
The diverse themes give rise to varied protagonists with their own natures, like a hydra with multiple voices. The void moves from piece to piece, reappearing each time in a dense universe. Each piece acts as one of the vanishing points of a perspective which locates the common resonance which gave birth to the whole.
The hues of the different hip-hop, grunge and electronic influences that jockeyed for their place in Salopecia, coagulated together, becoming something emancipated. Nevertheless, we find with familiarity the diversity of legs that carry Salopecia: grooves, squeaks, grunts, gurgles and glottis.

Several days will be organized on the theme of the well-being and mental health of artists, the fight against VHSS, music for images and musical practice in groups. Finally, something new: our partnership around gender equality and inclusion
with the Pop&Psy festival.
Le dispositif les Femmes s'engagent sera déployé pendant deux semaines avec des ateliers autour de la MAO, du mixage et de la sonorisation, mais également autour de l’écosystème de la musique et de la structuration des projets, de la synchro, de l’écriture et du coaching scénique.

Fleur bleu·e, Unrequited Love
Friday October 20th, 2023, 5PM (Paris time)
Creative chemistry might be impossible to define, but whatever it is, Fleur bleu·e have it in abundance. The Paris-based duo of Delphine Lucy Lam and Vlad Swann have presided over an assured debut album in Unrequited Love, full of delicate songs of yearning.
Recorded in a 4 days full band session at the Studio Garage in Paris, these achingly beautiful eleven songs might be bound together conceptually in the titular Unrequited Love, but be assured that you’re going to fall hard for Fleur bleu·e. Contrary to the title, it is a meeting of minds and of souls, a collision of invisible substances that together create a unique world of wistful, sonic beauty.
1st single - She Wants to Live
2nd single - L'été ivre

13th Fantastic Twins - “Two Is Not A Number”
Friday October 13th, 2023, 5PM (Paris time)
Fantastic Twins, the ongoing project of Julienne Dessagne, is a sonic exploration of dual characters born from one distinct perspective. A producer, songwriter, and acclaimed live performer, Dessagne has spent the last decade sculpting a unique world.
On an ambitious new album entitled ‘Two Is Not a Number’, Dessagne immerses herself more fully than ever in the concept that inspired her artist name, exploring the entwined lives and fates of her imaginary twins, their schizophrenic dreams, small dramas, and big tragedies - a metaphor for our own psyche, our inner conflicts, and our relationship to others and otherness.
These musings on the psychological, emotional, biological, and metaphysical qualities of Twins are expressed with assured clarity, using a palate of icy deep techno, eerie atmospheric soundtracks, tranced-out dark wave, and synth pop-noir. Whether through airborne dancefloor ascension, diamond hard rhythms, electronic thundercracks, or empathy drenched vocals and the palpable sense of unease, this standout album brings Dessagne’s powerful, affecting art into sharp focus.

Suzanne Ciani & Jonathan Fitoussi - Golden Apples Of the Sun
Friday October 6, 2023, 5PM (Paris time)
Obliques and Atmospheric are very happy to present their new album “Golden Apples of the Sun”. It is the result of a close cooperation between Suzanne Ciani and Jonathan Fitoussi. The American electronic music pioneer (5 time Grammy award-nominated) has joined the French composer to sign a four-hand album around mythical synthesizers like Buchla, Moog and Ems...
Mainly recorded in California, facing the Pacific Ocean, the white sound of synthesizers mixes constantly with the sound of the waves and wind. The music generated is directly blended with the surrounding elements of nature. It is both organic and live, hypnotic and rhythmical, powerful and dreamlike .

VAGUE IMAGINAIRES, Versatile records
Fraiday September 29, 2023, 5PM (Paris time)
Like some film directors, Vague Imaginaires ("Imaginary Wave") will sometimes collaborate with non-professionals: homeless, psychiatric patients, social workers, refugees... the left-behinds. The melancholy within his music is "that of those who couldn't leave for the stars or the islands, the great tragedy of the forgotten ones."
His music is characterized by entanglement: double melodies interweaving, and synths fusing with non-musical sounds: "Crickets in a palm grove, rain on a barn, freshly cut pieces of wood clicking, spring water running on froth, birds in the meadow, coal clattering on a fire, thunder on the lake, soft waves on the beach. These enchanting sounds that make places what they are."
Anchored in the real world to better escape it, his music comforts and reconciles us with it, transforming reality into "a new, voluptuous world, a graviton-less exoplanet, like flying in a dream."

Alek Lee, You - Antinote records
Friday September 8, 2023, 3PM (Paris time)
Alek Lee is back on Antinote to release his debut LP ‘You’. Covering 18 songs and crafted in the producer’s studio over the past few 4 years, the Tel Avivian has swapped the misty aura of his first two EPs for a smoked out haze. ‘You’ effortlessly blends digi-dub, boogie, and yacht rock to
create a washed out, dub-pop sound befitting of its place of recording sat at the edge of the desert and the sea.
If Lee’s earlier works were defined by brooding downtempo beats with kids television vocal samples sprinkled amongst them, then the album hears the producer open himself up to the process of the singer-songwriter, getting behind the microphone and optimistically speaking
words of his own. But perhaps that may be put too bluntly. Fankly, Lee fluidly moves between crooning, whispers, gasps all the way to full on ballad style singing effortlessly and with ease. His newly develop vocal experiments are too supported by an impressive array of collaborators which can be found in the LP’s liner notes. These collaborations also help to mix far-flung musical styles into the LP. For instance, take Kol Hayom featuring Keren Ilan. It’s a laid-back tune that would sit comfortably beside Rita Lee tropicália. Or Love To Puff You Baby featuring $hkuro, which upends Donna Summer’s bodily groove into a heady bop.
‘You’ is a testament to Alek Lee’s prolific exploration of his own brand of dub: shimmering off-beat guitars, low-fidelity beats and deep grooves. Oh and always a melodica line found somewhere amongst it.

The Breeders "Last Splash" the 30th Anniversary Original Analog Edition
To celebrate this anniversary, the album has been remastered from the original analog tapes – which were thought to be lost – a process that has also made it possible to excavate two previously unreleased tracks, a discovery that will delight fans.
Today, the Breeders are sharing one of those songs, Go Man Go, along with a brand new video directed by Brandon Weaver.
Entitled Last Splash (the 30th Anniversary Original Analog Edition), the special edition will include two 45 rpm vinyls, as well as a single-sided additional disc containing two forgotten tracks from the original Last Splash sessions: Go Man Go, a title that Kim co-wrote with Black Francis, and Divine Mascis, a version of Divine Hammer with vocals provided by J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr.
For this special edition, the original and iconic clutch of the late visionary designer Vaughan Oliver has been beautifully re-imagined by his longtime partner Chris Bigg.
Love and Rockets ‘Hot Trip To Heaven’
Lush ‘Spooky, Split & Lovelife’.
Articulated around the songwriting talents of Emma Anderson and Miki Berenyi, Lush defined the sound of an era, at the crossroads of shoegaze, dream pop and Britpop, before disbanding in 1998. A group that became cult over time, uniting new generations. And aside from a lavish retrospective box set from Record Store Day in 2016, all three studio albums – Spooky (1992), Split (1994) and Lovelife (1996) – have been unavailable on vinyl since the 90s.
With demand high, the band worked with renowned engineer/producer Kevin Vanbergen to help remaster their back catalog, starting with their studio albums. Using the original production tapes, Kevin painstakingly reworked them to create new 24-bit masters that perfectly capture the essence of the originals. They have never sounded so good.
Famous for collaborating with 4AD's in-house designers, v23, on every release, album art has always been central to Lush's appeal. For these reissues, the first two albums will be presented in their original designs, while Lovelife will use their box art from 2016 to retain the collectible tracing paper sleeve from 1996, exclusive to this first pressing.

La route du rock "Instants" exhibition, Titouan Massé

Echoing his exhibition "Instants" which took place from July 19 to August 20, 2023 in Saint-Malo, the photographer Titouan Massé gives us his soundtrack to accompany it.
A summary of his best stage memories.
Originally from Brittany, Titouan Massé embarked on concert photography in 2010. His work highlights a passion for music but also evokes these friendships forged in concert halls and festivals. It captures the energy of the public and the fury of the stage, as much as the portraits of artists, thus freezing the immediacy of these significant encounters.

Anohni and The Johnsons, Rough Trade records
Friday June 07, 2023, 5PM (Paris time)
“I've been thinking a lot about Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. That was a really important touchstone in my mind,” says ANOHNI of her sixth studio album, My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross. “Some of these songs respond to global and environmental concerns first voiced in popular music over 50 years ago.”
As the British-born, New York-based artist’s first full album since 2016’s HOPELESSNESS,ANOHNI explains that the creative process was painstaking, yet also inspired, joyful, and intimate, a renewal and a renaming of her response to the world as she sees it.
A record its creator acknowledges is inextricably both personal and political, and one that is full of heartfelt music that also questions its own right to be heard, My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross demonstrates music’s unique capacity to bring harmony to competing, sometimes contradictory, elements.
“For me, there's no heavenly respite; creation is a spectral and feminine continuum, and our souls are an inalienable part of nature.”

Arthur Russell, Picture Of Bunny Rabbit
Friday June 29, 2023, 5PM (Paris time)
“In outer space you can’t take your drums - you take your mind” - Arthur Russell
Rough Trade Records in partnership with Audika Records are excited to announce ‘Picture of Bunny Rabbit’(code only faster: crossing the line from vocal to instrumental and back) a new album of previously unreleased World Of Echo era material by Arthur Russell recorded in 1985/86.
‘Picture of Bunny Rabbit’ features nine previously unreleased performances from this era compiled from completed masters culled from two unique test pressings, including one, dated 9/15/85 by Arthur, provided by his mother and sister. A further four tracks were discovered in his tape archive. The track listing includes an exceptional and dramatic solo recording of “In The Light of a Miracle” and the enigmatic title instrumental “Picture of Bunny Rabbit”, written especially for a friends pet rabbit. The bulk of the material was recorded with engineer Eric Liljestrand at Battery Sound Studios, New York, which was located directly opposite the World Trade Center and at Arthur’s apartment studio in the East Village.
In 1986 Arthur Russell was diagnosed with HIV, that same year he released his career-defining masterpiece ‘World of Echo’, the first and only solo album issued during his lifetime. Arthur had found his voice and a fresh direction with a set of new, transformative material, unlike anything he or anyone else had previously released. His illness ensured that the artistic growth and sense of exploration encapsulated in ‘World of Echo’ would be tragically curtailed. Within six short years Arthur was gone.Arthur’s final years were filled with a renewed commitment to creativity and unceasing live and recording work. He regularly performed the ‘World of Echo’ material and incorporated several of its compositions in collaborations with choreographers active in New York’s innovative dance community. Arthur worked closely with Diane Madden, Allison Salzinger, Stephanie Woodard and John Bernd, usually playing his cello and effects boxes off stage as the choreographers’ pieces were performed. In 1993 Arthur posthumously received a prestigious Bessie Composer Award for his work in the dance world.

Bruce Falkian on Atinote
Friday June 9, 2023, 5PM (Paris time)
Bruce Falkian is a world famous contemporary artist who exhibits at the world’s most prestigious art galleries and fairs. Bruce Falkian moonlights as an agent of espionage against the Terrorism Industrial Complex. Wait... what?
To understand Bruce Falkian we first must understand the link between image and war. In the late 1800s the precursor to the video camera was invented. It was directly inspired by guns, specifically, Samuel Colt’s Revolver. It borrowed not only its barrel mechanics, swapping bullets for exposures, but its terminology too. Load, point, scope, aim, shoot, flash. The camera and the gun, united by cordite, would go on to prove the most efficacious tools in shaping the modern world.
The 20th century was a laboratory when it comes to killing and image making, glorified through Hollywood and the Western genre. Propaganda would prove highly effective in creating and sustaining support for militaries fighting for ideological global control. Devised first in the aptly title ‘Propaganda’ (1928) by Edward Bernays a nephew of Sigmund Freud, Advertising and Public Relations became the leading media industries, learning how to control the population through images, usually just to buy random crap they didn’t need, but other times to overthrow democratically elected politicians in foreign countries. Eventually Western Liberal Democracy assumed domination, built of course on the enslavement of all peoples and nations who didn’t fall in line with its specific ideas of living. The Red Scare inspired countless anti-leftist, anti-communist works of art throughout the Cold War, notably and most bizarre, funding the abstract expressionist movement as a non-ideological alternative to socialist realism art. When the Soviet Union fell, Western Liberal Democracy was able to promulgate its unhindered views around the world through its various media empires and actor states. Is it a coincidence that a third of the almost $85 billion dollar global camera equipment market is represented by the greatest propaganda beast the world as ever seen, the USA?
Guns are dangerous because of the obvious. Images are dangerous because we are bad at perceiving what is real (as any jump scare, deepfake, newsreel will attest to.) Videos aren’t technically real, they are only a collection of rapidly changing static images which give the illusion of movement. It’s easy for us to collectively decide that a video is real, because that’s the way our brains perceive reality. People who lead the world of media understand this which is how they are able to control us, make us invade foreign countries, vote for specific politicians, feel ugly or fat etc. However, ubiquitous as they are, it seems that the image is in crisis. It seems that we’ve run out of them. Or perhaps our understanding of an image is changing, with the aid of near instantaneous text-to-image AI technology. So what does this mean for guns. What does this mean for war? How will images be used as an aid to war in the 21st century? It remains to be seen, but Bruce Falkian will be a useful agent.
Les armes à feu sont dangereuses à cause de l'évidence. Les images sont dangereuses parce que nous ne percevons pas bien ce qui est réel (comme n'importe quel jump scare, deepfake, newsreel en attestera.) Les vidéos ne sont pas techniquement réelles, elles ne sont qu'une collection d'images statiques changeant rapidement qui donnent l'illusion de mouvement. Il est facile pour nous de décider collectivement qu'une vidéo est réelle, car c'est ainsi que notre cerveau perçoit la réalité. Les gens qui dirigent le monde des médias comprennent comment ils sont capables de nous contrôler, de nous faire envahir des pays étrangers, de voter pour des politiciens spécifiques, de se sentir laids ou gros, etc. Cependant, omniprésents comme ils sont, il semble que l'image soit en crise. Il semble que nous en manquons. Ou peut-être que notre compréhension d'une image est en train de changer, à l'aide d'une technologie d'IA texte-image quasi instantanée. Alors qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour les armes à feu. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour la guerre ? Comment les images seront-elles utilisées comme aide à la guerre au XXIe siècle ? Cela reste à voir, mais Bruce Falkian sera un agent utile.

The National "First Two Pages of Frankenstein" on 4AD
After two back-to-back albums and several busy years of touring, First Two Pages of Frankenstein was initially stalled while lead singer Matt Berninger navigated, “a very dark spot where I couldn’t come up with lyrics or melodies at all. Even though we’d always been anxious whenever we were working on a record, this was the first time it ever felt like maybe things really had come to an end.” Instead, The National “managed to come back together and approach everything from a different angle, and because of that we arrived at what feels like a new era for the band,” according to guitarist/pianist Bryce Dessner, whose bandmates also include his brother Aaron (guitar/piano/bass) as well as brothers Scott Devendorf (bass, guitar) and Bryan Devendorf (drums).

Koudlam "Precipice Fantasy Part II
Friday March 31, 5PM (Paris time)
After releasing "Precipice Fantasy Part I" in October 2022, Koudlam delivers the second part of his album.
The first part is a salvo of meteorites where the artist uses, as usual, standardized pop patterns to make them disrupted, and always without deviating from the ultimate melody, chanted until trance.
The second part is an instrumental and contemplative record, a kind of music for an uncomfortable yoga session, that of a tourist who dreamed of climbing Everest but who no longer has the strength to get out of Kathmandu's underworld.
Koudlam thus delivers the soundtrack of the summits and the precipices. Or rather that of the path between the two, sinuous, vertiginous, always on the edge of the blade.

Six songs For Genesis P-Orridge
Child Of the Nature, Forager Records
Friday March 17, 3PM (Paris time)
A further exercise in musical curation, Child Of Nature is our latest sonic confluence of self-released tracks from the loners, hippies and outsiders of the 70s and early 80s. A collection of privately pressed music, able to breathe and be created free from the constraints of heavy handed commercialism, yielding a pure vision of artistic expression. Child Of Nature features ten songs of brooding soft rock and psychedelic folk steeped in melancholia. Some ache for better times or past lovers, while others seek spiritual fulfillment or social progress.
A compilation to evoke the raw and unobstructed, to summon the occult, to fundamentally conjure a vivid portrait of our untamed natural environment. Recorded on the north coast of California, Luellen Reese’s ethereal “Silvery Waterfalls” drifts and swirls with electric guitar as her unearthly vocals transcend across a seven minute opus, fit for the golden age of labels like 4AD or Dedicated. “The flowers are dancing just for you …”, Reggie Russell croons over glistening Key Of Creek’s title track “Child Of Nature”, evoking a utopian world of natural harmony free from the present day realities of industrial decay.
Tap into your inner primal being, to embrace wholeheartedly, with frivolity and without reserve, your own child of nature.

SUMMERCAMP takes us by the hand and takes us on a journey, from the Parisian studio on rue d'Enghien to a multitude of fantasized and real territories where the most obvious and improbable encounters are born. Accompanied by their guests, music as a universal language, each song is an invitation to share the dreams and hopes of Rob & Jack Lahana.
Composed by Rob, punctuated by Jack Lahana, SUMMERCAMP is an album, a collection, a collection, a series of intimate and epic moments, sunny and bloody, melancholy and dancing.

I:Cube, "Eye Cube"
Friday March 3, 3PM (Paris time)
I:Cube released their sixth album, simply titled Eye Cube, on March 3.
In recent years, Nicolas Chaix has made a plethora of remixes and released a lot of stuff either alone (Double pack, Cubo Live Sessions 1 and 2) or with friends (John Cravache, Gilbert, Alma vox, or his son).
The creative process for "Eye cube", a reference to the initial form of his blase chosen in 1993 (memophone era, graffiti, art studies, techno and library records at Boulinier to sample, all that), is mainly based on the live jam with machines in the studio.
Certainly his most personal album to date with one foot in the club, the other in more experimental music containing elegiac ambient passages and darkos moments, it's something to listen to as you want, the album format being ultimately quite secondary.
The whole is instinctive, raw, immersive and sincere, with a magical and analog production of the most beautiful effect.
Capture the moment in the studio, the moment when "something is happening", return to something more urgent and timeless. It's successful Mr. Cube, well done!

The Two Eps, Owen Pallett
Friday, February 24th, 3PM (Paris time)
Domino is pleased to announce expanded and remastered reissues of Owen Pallett's early catalog, including the albums Has A Good Home (2005) and He Poos Clouds (2006), as well as two Spectrum EPs, 14th Century and Plays to Please (both 2008) combined into an LP version. These recordings have been remastered by João Carvalho at Revolution, and will be available on vinyl and digital in deluxe editions, with rare titles, B-sides, excerpts from compilations and unreleased tracks.
Owen Pallett built his reputation on his stage virtuosity, as a violinist for many local Toronto bands (including The Hidden Cameras), and then with his solo project. Has a Good Home serves as an introduction (and includes many of his best-known songs), and the next He Poos Clouds is a string quartet album based on Dungeons & Dragons School of Magic, and was awarded the inaugural Polaris Music Prize. .
This spring, Owen Pallett and The Hidden Cameras will co-headline a European tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Smell of Our Own album by The Hidden Cameras. The Smell Of Our Own is a seminal album from the Toronto scene of the early 2000s, where the artistic, musical, DIY and queer communities came together. Owen was both a band member and a contributor to this album. "It felt like a stage party, we were part of a big and prolific gay scene in Toronto. It was a celebratory time in our lives."

shop.tapeterecords.com/tolouse-low-trax-leave-me-alone-3778
King Tuff "Smalltown Stardust"
happens, or that we find ourselves lost in a moment of creation with other people
who share our vision. You say, "This is what I want to be. That's what I want to share." It is a fleeting feeling and it is one that Kyle Thomas, the singer-songwriter who
records and performs as King Tuff, began researching in the spring of 2020.
But knowing that he could not recreate this period of his life at will, Thomas, originally from Brattleboro, Vermont set out to write a love letter to those precious moments
of inspiration and to the small town that formed it. The one where he first nourished his impulses as a composer, by exchanging ideas with other like-minded artists. The kind of place where the changing seasons bring a sense of perspective and new artistic inspiration.
It was there that he felt a deep connection with nature. “I wanted to make an album to remind myself that life is magic,” he tells us. That's how Thomas got hold of his memories, creating this which he calls "an album about love, nature and youth".
Mofo 17 - Des Racines du Zele
Friday January 20, 6 PM (Paris time)
We thought he was defeated. Trampled by the authorities, torn from his own home, sabotaged by a pandemic, frozen by two long winters… We thought he was gone forever. But he was nevertheless seen, at the corner of Charles Garnier and Étienne Dolet streets. Passers-by have seen it, yes! It looks like he survived! The legend says that from an animal, it would have changed into a plant. That to resist, it would have taken the form of pungent herbs, mutated flowers: an ideal alloy to take back roots, where its place has always been. Did you know that weeds always grow back? Yes, we can assure you: MOFO is really back.
From 26 au 28 january 2023, Mains d’Œuvres will welcome, after three long years of absence, the MOFO festival for its seventeenth edition. And is there more fertile ground than that of its parent company to grow the craziest herbs that its path has crossed in the meantime?

Taken by Trees Another Year EP on Rough Trade records
Friday December 16, 3PM (Paris time)
After a four year pause, Victoria Bergsman’s Taken By Trees returns with a mini album of Colin Blunstone covers entitled Another Year, which will be released by Rough Trade Records. Out today is the first track from the mini album, Say You Don’t Mind, a song written and originally recorded by The Moody Blues' Denny Laine in 1967, which was then a solo hit for Colin Blunstone in 1972.
“It’s really exciting to see these songs brought back to life 50 years later with such unique interpretations. Victoria Bergsman’s instantly recognisable vocals add such a melancholy and contemporary edge.” Colin Blunstone.
This mini album also marks the 50th anniversary of The Zombies frontman Colin Blunstone’s debut solo album, One Year, an underrated classic — but it also became an emotional salute to one of Bergsman’s favourite singers.

Takayuki Shiraishi "Photon" on Camisole records
Following those 80's industrial projects he continued his path and recorded numerous electronic tracks without forgetting his experimental roots.
After an EP on the highly revered label Apollo with his alias "Planetoid", he released on a very limited run his first album "Photon" only on cd in 1997.
Mixing Techno and Ambient, those works were recorded between 1987 and 1996 to create a trancey ride of dreamy tunes.
A journey through spectral dances and afterglows, dreamy incantations and Solar rituals devoted to euphoria.
Experimental techno who never forget to keep your mind and body aware.

Friday November 25, 6PM (Paris time)
Following two manifesto-albums, which quickly became an influence of marginal musics in France, Olivier Demeaux & Armelle Oberlé asked artists whose directions they share to revisit some of the flagship titles of their catalog.
We thus find there the priest of the English pysché Sonic Boom, the cantor of slow techno Tolouse Low Trax, the experimenter of the modular_synths Le Crabe or Zohar, UVB76, PlimPlim and many others.

Principles Of Geometry
Friday 11 november, 6PM (Paris time)
Signs, symbols, figures which are for us so many founding influences. This is where this Alphabet finds its Alpha. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ is therefore an evocation, almost like an incantation, of the influences that have shaped our musical language and our common language. A raw material without which we would not have had the chance to meet and experience our twinness.
It is also a song of the machine, and of the machines, an extension of the capacities of the instruments, which was born in the mid-90s, with the emergence of electronic music to be listened to by listening to oneself from within. .For both of us, it's the song of printed circuits, electric dreams lulled by IDM (Intelligent dance music), which finds its expression in the compilations Artificial Intelligence by Warp Records, Braindance by Rephlex, abstractions by Skam and Planet Mu, dream under influence, electronica in all its forms, and analog abstractions of the soundtracks of our childhood. A founding haunt in our work, but which we had never approached to this point. So that was our starting point.

Valentin Ranger, Playlist La Fab.
Friday July 15, 3PM (Paris Time)
Valentin Ranger describes the landscape that inhabits his mind as a “huge opera”. With a background in theatre, the young man first found the confidence to assume himself as he was, before coming up against the limits of the human body. Influenced by popular fiction and the fantastic worlds of video games, his agender characters with heart-shaped heads embody the guardians of a hybrid wonderland. Phantasmagoric, the creatures in her work coexist in harmony to the point of merging their bodies in euphoric scenes.
The artist wins the agnès b. des beaux arts de paris in 2021 and is part of the Emerige 2022 revelations.

A gift to the overthinkers and overworked. Those who are over-concerned and always preoccupied. This is an invitation to hang up the bootstraps, take a load off, and visit a place in the mind where the sun is shining, the breeze is soft and the waves lap softly at your feet. Vacation From My Mind is a sonic realignment of melancholic soul, breezy soft rock, & mellow jazz-funk..

If this new batch of novelties starts on a cloud of sweetness and blossoms in the tenderness of a pop mixed with soul, you should never let yourself be lulled without expecting other emotions. A post-punk storm could well distract you from this languid break. Like every month, the editor's choice presents all its differences, its raw turns, but remains two hours of modern pop in the most eclectic sense of the term.

The Smile - A Light For Attracting Attention
Friday May 13, 3PM
The Smile will release their highly anticipated debut album A Light For Attracting Attention on 13 May, 2022 on XL Recordings.
The 13-track album was produced and mixed by Nigel Godrich and mastered by Bob Ludwig. Tracks feature strings by the London Contemporary Orchestra and a full brass section of contemporary UK jazz players including Byron Wallen, Theon and Nathaniel Cross, Chelsea Carmichael, Robert Stillman and Jason Yarde.
The Smile, comprising Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons of Kemet’s Tom Skinner, have previously released the singles You Will Never Work in Television Again, The Smoke, and Skrting On The Surface to critical acclaim.
The Smoke was also released as a dub remix by legendary reggae producer Dennis Bovell.
The Smile’s most recent single Pana-vision was released on 3 April and appeared in the finale of Peaky Blinders. The animated video for Pana-vision features artwork by Radiohead artist Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke.
The brand new single Free In The Knowledge is out today, April 20, with an accompanying video directed by Leo Leigh. The track was first performed by Thom Yorke as part of the Letters Live event at London’s Royal Albert Hall, in December 2021, the first time Thom had performed since the pandemic began. Introducing the song, he dedicated it to all fellow UK musicians.

Further Sounds of S.E. Rogie on Mississippi records
S.E. Rogie went from running a tailor shop in Sierra Leone to being one of West Africa's most popular artists. He toured around the country, singing his palm wine music in multiple local languages, created his own record label, and was known as the most handsome man in Sierra Leone. He formed the highlife band The Morningstars in 1965. In 1973, he came to the Bay Area to live and expand his base, performing everywhere from local high schools and convalescent homes to festivals and large stages. In his later life he hit the road again and toured the world, eventually passing away while on stage in Russia in 1994.
He shared the following songwriting wisdom with his son, Rogee Rogers: “When you write a song, you can be complicated if you want, but your chorus should be that anybody can sing it.”
These tracks were originally released on his own Rogie label in the 1960s and include solo, ensemble, and Morningstars songs, most of which have never been reissued until now.
A co-release with the mighty Domino Sound label.

Ethan P. Flynn Universal Deluge EP
Friday March 11, 3PM (Paris time)
Conceived over a period of three years, Universal Deluge shows the depth and breadth of Ethan P. Flynn's plural and wildly singular production methods. Building on the success of his debut album B. Sides & Rarities Vol. 1, the EP Universal Deluge embarks on a darker side of pop. Combining electronic experimentation with stripped-down acoustics, it's a swirling, psychedelic little masterpiece of lo-fi.

Together with Jared’s technical and intuitive skills and deepunderstanding as a producer of the feeling these sounds were intended to evoke, thetwo were able to preserve the authenticity of the recordings while enhancing the qualityof sound so the listener can fully experience the nuances of these unique auditorycreations.

Leonie Pernet "Le Cirque de Consolation" infiné music
The sought after whirlwind of French Pop that exploded onto the scene with her debut „Crave“, supported by agnès b.
Leonie Pernet, returns with her second album, „Le Cirque de Consolation“, a sort of
double negative of her first. While the yearning that sat at the center of „Crave“might not
have been resolved, the young multi-instrumentalist and singer has found a new
perspective - a more open and positive outlook on her own life and work. Perhaps telling,
then, that the title was the first element of the album to exist: as it is and has always been a
journey of personal (and collective) consolation first, a musical confrontation with the self.
"This record parallels my life's journey," confirms Leonie, "it reflects what has happened in
my life since 'Crave' came out and how I feel today. There's still a lot of melancholy, but a lot
more sunshine and light. In four years, I've become sober, which has saved me; I've worked a
lot on my voice, which is a part of a desire to speak, to address my audience more directly,
and also a more pronounced pop desire.“ In line with her new-found „openness“, Leonie
invites another musician into her creative process for the first time on „Le Cirque de
Consolation“: Jean Sylvain le Gouic, who lended his coproduction and perspective to her,
while Leonie still plays almost all instruments herself with an astounding prowess.
Leonie’s voice oozes with a new-found self-confidence and takes center stage amidst
eclectic, distinctively fun and open-minded production. Sometimes she sings in English,
mostly in French: “I worked a lot on my voice," confirms Leonie, "I didn't dare to sing before,
neither live, nor on record, nor in the studio.“ Surrounding her astounding, intoxicating voice
are forays into any direction imaginable: from harsh, experimental electronics to the more

STAR FEMININE BAND "Femme Africaine" Born Bad Records
Through all of these songs, each of the Star Feminine Band members brings their own inspiration. André composes all their songs. He admits: “They bring their ideas. The dream of these girls is to become international stars. They must show the importance of women throughout the world. Speak of Africa, accomplish great missions around the values of women. They talk about female genital mutilation, abuse and violence against girls. We want to include these subjects in the political debate in Benin, then elsewhere in Africa if this is ever possible ”.
With much confidence, an undeniable ecumenism and charisma, Star Feminine Band is one of the prides of the Atakora region. The band is even starting to instigate vocations, while sowing the seeds for the next generation of provincial girls, driven by an iron will, forged of the same mineral as the weapons of Kaba, forgotten hero of the Atakora.
True heroines of everyday life, the seven girls of the Star Feminine Band embody the future and the next generation in search of recognition. “In the 1960s, God was a black girl who sang” used to say New York composer duo Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Sixty years later, in one of the forgotten provinces of the African continent, this adage takes on its full value.

Other You, Steve Gunn (Matador Records)
Friday August 27, 3PM (Paris time)
“I came up with this title when we were recording vocals and Rob was very into harmonies. There was a third part and I just couldn’t find the note. I couldn’t vocalize it. He went in and took my voice and put it into his computer program, then he could playback and “sing” the note with my voice using the computer. And he said, ‘Sing to the other you.’ So I was singing along to myself singing a note I couldn’t sing" – Steve Gunn
Other You is the sixth studio album by American singer Steve Gunn that will be released August 27th on Matador. Recorded during two visits to Los Angeles in late 2020 and early 2021, the album was made with veteran producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Cass McCombs, Kurt Vile) at his Mant Studios alongside musician and longtime friend and collaborator Justin Tripp, whose credits include appearances on Gunn’s Time Off and Way Out Weather.

LA ROUTE DU ROCK FESTIVAL
SAINT-MALO
18-22 AUGUST 2021
CAPSULE COLLECTION
For this special edition, La Route du Rock is reinventing itself, imagining a new route and investing in new exceptional places on the Emerald Coast: the Briantais park and the castle courtyard in Saint-Malo, the green theater in Cancale. , Vallion beach in Saint-Jouan-des-Guérets and Mont-Dol. Always faithful to its artistic line, the festival offers this summer an entirely French program that bears witness to the vitality of our independent scene, from abrasive post-punk to intimate folk, from sunny pop to a dreamy atmosphere.
On the program: the pop-modern heroes of La Femme, the scintillating pop of François & The Atllas Mountains, the meeting at the height of sixties pop between Maxwell Farrington & Le Superhomard, the tribute to Leonard Cohen of H-Burns with The Stranger Quartet, the timeless folk of Raoul Vignal, the punk iconoclast Nathan Roche from Villejuif Underground, Chevalrex and his intimate pop, the haunted folk of the magician Lisa Li-Lund, the soaring odyssey of Grand Veymont, the breakaway pop of Arthur Satàn, the epic rock of Lesneu, Veik and his hypnotic krautrock, the lo-fi power-pop of Special Friend, the incandescent post-punk of Heimat, the aquatic ambience of Roméo Poirier, the timeless indie rock by Hoorsees, the tangy pop of KCIDY, the luminous surf of Beach Youth, the delirious synth-pop of Murman Tsuladze, the bewitching multi-instrumentalist Blumi.

Evasion, Dominique André
Friday July 23, 3PM (Paris time)
A whole world of escape
The Amateur (someone who engages in painting, music, sport, science, without the spirit of mastery or competition), the Amateur renews his pleasure (amator: one who loves and loves again); he is anything but a hero (of creation, or performance); he establishes himself graciously (for nothing) in the signifier: in the immediately definitive substance of music, of painting, he is – he will be perhaps – the counter-bourgeois artist.
In Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes (1975)
And this is what sometimes went on in the mid-seventies of the last century. Dominique André is in his studio-apartment, a converted maid’s room on Avenue Junot in Paris. In front of his Revox tape recorder, which can record two tracks separately, is a motley collection of instruments: a children’s organ, a cooking pot, a guitar, a frying pan and various other everyday objects to be rubbed, banged together and gently beaten. On either side of the recorder, an upright piano, a stack of film sound effects records and a vinyl turntable sit waiting. Dominique André turns one of the potentiometers of his Revox machine to the left, and the tape slows down, the continuum loses its flow, and we go back in time.

Bleu Melody
Friday July 16, 3PM (Paris time)
As part of our partnership with Route Du Rock, La Ville de Saint Malo and RVD Books, we will broadcast on agnès b. radio from 3pm Friday July 16 History of Melody Nelson (original mix) and The Melody Nelson Sessions with all the alternative takes.
Tony Frank "Blue Melody"
Exhibition from July 24 to August 22, 2021 in Saint-Malo - La tour Bidouane
This summer, the festival presents an exhibition of Tony Frank's photographs taken for the legendary cover of “Melody Nelson” by Serge Gainsbourg.
It is essentially based on the book "Bleu Melody" published by RVB which collects all the photographic documents produced in 1971 for the cover and the interior of the album.
The reproduction of the contact sheets, the ektas sleeves and the readings take a behind-the-scenes look at a photo that has toured the world and sheds light on the historical dimension of this shot.
"The photo of Melody Nelson's cover is undoubtedly the one that I hear the most about, even today. At the time, I knew it was an important record for Serge. But I didn't think it was going to be so huge, that it was going to cross time and go around the world ... " Tony Frank.
Free entry / Every day from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Exhibition presented by La Route of Rock with the support of Ville de Saint-Malo, RVB Books et agnès b.

Mirror II, The Goon Sax
Friday July 9, 3PM (Paris time)
The Goon Sax have announced new album Mirror II, to be released July 9th on Matador Records. The band’s third album and first for Matador, Mirror lI is a new beginning: a multi-dimensional eclectic journey of musical craftsmanship that moves from disco to folk to no wave skronk with staggering cohesion. The first-person narratives of their school days have graduated into an immersive and fluid world, one where “the narrator changes, the view-point isn’t definitive”. Songs have been made expansive, more universal, more weird— as introduced by the supernatural avant-pop of first single ‘In The Stone’.

La Piscine + Un Homme est Mort, Michel Legrand
Friday June 11, 3PM (Paris time)
Wewantsounds is delighted to reissue one of Michel Legrand's best soundtracks composed for the French thriller "La Piscine" (The Swiming Pool), released in 1969 and featuring Alain Delon and Romy Schneider. Legrand penned the score straight after "The Thomas Crown Affair" OST and it features the same ultra cool mix of memorable themes, slick jazzy instrumentals and funky pop songs.
The full soundtrack was only released in Japan and France and is now very rare. Three bonus tracks that have never been released on vinyl have been added, all newly remastered and housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve designed by Eric Adrian Lee with new liner notes by Jeremy Allen. As a RSD Bonus we’ve also included Legrand’s ultra rare funky 7”OST of “Un Homme Est Mort" from 1972 in its original artwork.

Intermezzo Uno & Intermezzo Duo
Friday May 14, 3PM (Paris time)
Intermezzo... A movement coming between the major sections of an extended musical
work. Dischi Autunno... A label conjuring black magic between every section in electronic music...
Mapping psychedelic flight patterns between worlds unknown, Noura Labbani and Jennifer
Cardini’s electronique noir imprint Dischi Autunno sits right in the centre of dance music’s
primordial universe. Italo, acid, electro, disco, emo, alternative, indie, lo-fi, trance, bass, new
beat, big beat, synthwave and coldwave; a huge unclassifiable cauldron of moody electronic
vapours fuming away at a sultry slow and low tempo.
Swooping low in the shadows since their last outing in November (Pablo Bozzi’s ‘Last
Moscow Mule’) the label slides into our DMs (Doc Martens) fashionably late for 2021 with their
most explorative and daring dispatch to date: ‘Intermezzo 1 & 2’. Two vital VA collections,
22 tracks in total, the label’s sprawling leftfield network is articulately mapped out in more
cosmic detail than ever before.
Some of the destinations may already be familiar as both ‘Intermezzo’ missions occasionally
reference previous trips. Label ally and confidant Curses is present and correct (and also
responsible for the artwork, along with his wife) as are Younger Than Me, Golden Filter,
Chinaski, Kendal, Javi Redondo and Dollkraut. But many more acts featured on here are
new to the burgeoning stable; new talent who’ve been grafting at the future coalface under
the radar. Zillas On Acid, Mogambo, KOB101, Jacques Satre, A Strange Wedding, Het
Morson, Arabian Panther, all of them sharing a spirit for raw, smouldering sonics that sit
amid the fringes and between the boundaries. Dark, sexy, heavy sounds that transcend far
beyond the dancefloor yet forever have a footing on it, Dischi Autunno’s extended musical
work continues to conjure black magic at a time when we need it the most.

Heimat, Zwei
Friday May 7, 3PM (Paris time)
What is time in the face of a great album?
Those albums that do not age, which never cease to surprise with their innovative freshness, listening after listening, ignoring the years passing by.
Heimat's debut album is one of those, which you keep on the shelf or the turntable, like a reassuring fetish object.
It is quite legitimate that these two, Armelle and Olivier, proud genius osprings of Cheveu and the mythical The Dreams, have groped their way forward, without any sense of urgency but relying on their solid live experience, indulging in meticulous experimental research in order to sculpt the worthy successor of their « Heimat »-manifesto.
If "Zwei" is inspired by marginal lands that were untouched before them, the production and extensive mastering allow the duo's experiments to cross new borders. Armelle's voice moves away from Germanic influences, digging deeper and further south.
These forays make their incongruous music furthermore uncategorizable : more direct and sharp, it nevertheless loses its audience in a limbo of burnt pop, broken but reassuring at the same time.
« Zwei », Heimat’s second album will be released on May 7th through Teenage Menopause Records & Cry Baby.
Already available for shipping.

Mutator, Alan Vega
Friday April 23, 3PM (Paris time)
Alan Vega’s name is synonymous with unfettered, tireless creativity. Beginning in the late 1950s, when he was a fine art student at Brooklyn College, through his years playing in Suicide, and all the way up until his death in 2016, Vega was constantly creating. That process naturally led to a wealth of material that didn’t see the light of day immediately when it was recorded, which came to be known as the Vega Vault. Mutator is the first in a series of archival releases from the Vault that will come out on Sacred Bones Records.
Mutator was recorded alongside Vega’s longtime collaborator Liz Lamere at his NYC studio from 1995-1996, and it serves as a document of a particularly fertile time in his creative life. He had 11 full-length solo albums come out during the ’80s, ’90s and ’00s - plus numerous collaborations, and Suicide records A Way of Life and Why Be Blue. Mutator wasn’t shelved intentionally, but Vega’s back-to-the- grindstone M.O. meant that he had moved on to making his next record before this one was finished. Lamere and Vega’s friend and confidante Jared Artaud (The Vacant Lots) rediscovered the raw, unmixed recordings from the Mutator sessions in the Vault in 2019. Soon after, they mixed and produced them into the visionary album that was lurking within those tapes.
At the time of the Mutator sessions, Vega was massively inspired by what was happening in the streets of New York - not only the hip hop scenes that were ex- ploding throughout the outer boroughs, but also the literal sounds of the streets, the traffic noise and industrial ambience of city living. That influence trickled into the sounds he and Lamere captured in those sessions. That sensibility, paired with Vega’s unmistakable voice and force of personality, is what made it the great album it is now. The final piece was the production job, completed by Lamere and Artaud 25 years after the songs were first captured.

Prolific, she released 10 albums and a slew of EPs whilst touring everywhere from Brazil to the United States & right across Europe. Her curiosity has led to collaborations with artists as diverse as Jeffrey Lewis, Kimya Dawson, The Cairo Gang, The Mountain Goats, Dj Gero, The Wave Pictures and Quixote.
This fan of the Stones, Springsteen, Suicide and Dolly Parton has never been locked down to one area of the world. Her forays include lofi Californian pop with her duo Bay Bear and the crazy multi-cultural splurge of the
French Cowboys. Another frequented planet ? That of The Big Crunch Theory, an intergalactic electro escape imagined with Gilbr' from the highly influential Versatile label. How to create a bridge between Sun Ra and her
folk roots…
These different trips all contributed in their own way to nourishing Lisa's new solo project. It is no coincidence that the songwriter signs her album under her real name. She put "all the colors from the heart - the ghosts, the darkness, the blood, the bones, the mirages, the night and the moon," she says, "are not dark places to me. It's there where I feel safe, and especially myself. "
Recorded between Sweden and France, Glass Of Blood is the story of a quest. After a long period of silence and a project abandoned with DJ Chloé, Lisa came across Arthur Peschaud from the Pan European label who helped her to pursue her ideas and to get back in the saddle. Composed in a moment of graceful chaos with her guitar, synth, childhood piano & drum box, she's set no limits on her latest opus with full band. Mixing dreamlike pop and cosmic electro, her melodies leave all the room for strangeness and experiments.
Her songs, both brutal and tender, tell us about things in life - renewal, space-time travel and above all love (not shared). It all starts with "Janet", a melancholy stroll streamlined that sings of resilience. "Planet", a heady synthetic ritornello, poetizes the shock of collusion against a background of violins and "Muscle Memory of Missing You" sounds a tribute to the 80's pop recounting the absence of the loved one.
The title of the piece "Yes, I could use a glass of blood" sums up the raw and visceral energy that Lisa wanted to infuse into these eleven songs. "This phrase haunts me & accompanies me everywhere. It's been more than 10 years that it keeps running through my heart. As soon as I feel weak, sad, or in danger, I hear it, I recite it, I write it, I sing it, I draw it. For me this glass of blood is the symbol of a vital energy source. "
To bring this cathartic record to life, Lisa worked in pairs for production, mixing and arrangements with her double, Guillaume Léglise (Fictions, Vox Low). He was the only boy in her girlband from The Big Crunch Theory. We also find on Glass Of Blood other valiant "knights" as Lisa calls them. Turzi, Etienne Jaumet and Cosmic Neman from Zombie Zombie, Maxime Delpierre (VKNG, Limousine), Ben McConnell (drummer for JB Dunckel, Au Revoir Simone, Beach House), Clémence Lasme (Moodoïd), Gaspar Claus, Rémi Foucard, Maxime Sokolinski (Hologram with Clara Luciani) have all joined this bloody adventure.

César & Rosalie
Friday April 9, 3PM (Paris time)
After « Les choses de la vie », Transversales proudly presents the first ever LP reissue of this classic Philippe Sarde soundtrack.
« As it happens, Philippe is less interested in his natural function which is to write music sheets... than in the film itself. And I, somehow, am as much, and perhaps more interested in the music than in the film itself. There lies the deep reason for our paradoxical relationship.” These are the words French film director Claude Sautet used to define his collaboration with the French prodigious composer.
The « Cesar et Rosalie » score is like a magical bridge linking baroque and electronic music, mixing Moog synthesizer sequences with acoustic instruments.
Compared to the original CAM LP, this reissue contains 6 unreleased tracks that were removed from the original tracklisting. Among them a Mariage 72 in Bacharach style and a beautiful piano version of the theme performed by Philippe Sarde himself. It obviously contains Romy Schneider’s famous voice-over in the unforgettable track La lettre de Rosalie.

Cubo live sessions volume 2, I:Cube
Friday March 5 2021, 3PM (Paris time)
In exclusivity and for the release of the second volume we going to play on agnès b. radio the 2 volumes.
Improvising as a way to end a track, a moment in time lasting forever, a singularity as a constant: this is the illusion created by I:Cube for these Cubo Live Sessions: to jam and to edit, a free conversation with his machines.
This new found freedom is a natural evolution following years of hard work in the Versatile basement. We used to hear Cube sweating for days on a single sound or loop, we know through those Live Sessions that Cube has realised that perfection is not of this world. Or rather that perfection precisely is that ephemeral instant, that will to capture a dream and bring back a fragment from his multidimensional travels.
From this precarious equilibrium, this big bang, proceeds an entire universe, an almost living organism. I:Cube always touched by grace, smiling demiurge building track by track an ever growing intimacy with his listeners.

Broadcasting François de Roubaix, “Les Secrets de la Mer Rouge”
Friday January 29th 2021, 3 AM (Paris time)
For the first time on LP, François de Roubaix’s full score for the French TV series “Les Secrets de la Mer Rouge”, an adaptation of the epic travel, through the Middle East, of the famous writer and explorer Henri de Monfreid. This album is a collection of the original (1967) themes and those recorded later in 1975 when the TV series was continued.
In the 1967 soundtrack, de Roubaix uses various flutes, marine conches, and for underwater views, unexpected instruments such as a celesta or a crystal xylophone. By 1975, electronic technology had dramatically developed and this evolution is clearly apparent when one listens to the recordings of the two seasons. For the later 1975 series, de Roubaix composed a new music score, mixing old and new sounds, a great combination of EMS VCS3 synthesizer subtly mixed with acoustic instruments.
For François de Roubaix, there was never a border between fiction, life and music, and writing music for “Les secrets de la Mer Rouge” was an extension of his love of the open sea.

Original soundtrack Le Bel été by The Limiñanas

11 tracks, all composed by the duo from Perpignan, with the single One Blood Circle in duo with Etienne Daho, who describes this collaboration as: "I slipped into their music like in a box. Two voice shots and the song was in the box. Some meetings are evidence." E. Daho
Immanent Fire, Emily Jane White
For more than 10 years, Emily Jane White has accompanied us with her enchanting song, and with it the delicacy of her woody folk melodies. Less is known about her social and political involvement. Immanent Fire, her 6th opus (released on November 15), makes an alarming observation: biological annihilation, acceleration of extinction of species, social and economic disorders. The themes are dark, but a new serenity emerges from this album anchored in our time and which will be a landmark. 3 dates in December: 5 Le Botanique (Brussels), 11 Le Grand Mix (Tourcoing) and 12 Les Etoiles (Paris). Listen to Immanent Fire on agnès b. radio on November 15 at 11am (Paris time)!

Listen to One Blood Circle, first single from the original soundtrack of Le Bel Été, movie by Pierre Créton, release in theatres on November 13, directed by The Limiñanas with Étienne Daho, available on November 15th in vinyl and digital, with 11 tracks composed by The Limiñanas, already available in pre-order.
Satis Factory, Mattiel
Following encouragement from Jack White during a chance encounter in Nashville with her chief musical inspiration and eventual touring partner, Mattiel made the crucial decision to jumpstart her musical journey with songs rooted in gospel, rock n’ soul, hip-hop and new wave. Less than five years later Mattiel stands as one of the most singular and buzzed-about acts in rock music. Her new album Satis Factory, the follow up to last years critically acclaimed self titled debut is out now on Heavenly Recordings/PIAS

Sergeï, Lucie Antunes
With Sergeï, Lucie Antunes comes to explode the standards with big blows of chopsticks on the blades of her marimba, her vibraphone, the skins stretched of her battery. Sergeï is the furious project of a young percussionist who made her weapons in a rather classical way and whose horizon does not cease to expand with the dancefloor as a line of sight and the clearly expressed will to tell oneself on a disc. Made without computers or artifacts, this instrumental and percussive music is cut for dance and night with the ambition to break boundaries, shake genres and make the dancefloor more beautiful, softer, bigger, smarter and more open. Lucie’s music is not closed to anyone. Behind each of the tracks that compose his album hides a story, something that has been felt and lived in silence and that comes to explode without shadow. She is there, powerful and sensitive, personal and intense. Released on October 4th.
Providence, Shannon Wright
Shannon Wright is back and releases her new album, Providence, an album played entirely on the piano, instrument for the first time invested as a unique ally to her voice. It is without any other protection and in the form of poems that Shannon Wright declares with all the emotional power that we know a collection of very touching and personal stories.
Shannon Wright’s music provokes a raw and overwhelming emotion. It transports you, invades you and drowns you, but always saves you. It is a journey into a melancholy and restless world, often desperate but terribly vivacious. Shannon Wright’s music is an auditory antioxidant, a benefactor upheaval, an indispensable cure.
Listen in full Friday 20 September at 2pm on the agnès b. radio.
