Paris Paris, Texas Texas

La Noce Des Éléments

This is like a delusional spontaneous and improvised exercice with a special sens of lightess.

Sci-Fi Ballads For The Lost Generation
“I had this idea once when listening to Vangelis’ soundtrack for ‘Blade Runner’,” says songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and all-round fine human, Kevin Pearce. “I wondered what a soundtrack of songs would be like. So I imagined a film, lost myself in that thought and went for it. What came out was ’Science Fiction Ballads For The Lost Generation’.” Kevin recorded the album as an experiment, just for his own ears initially. Experiment over, it languished on a hard drive, all but forgot…

Hypatia

To Belong
*200 copies limited edition* The limited 7" edition of marine eyes' latest full-length ambient record 'to belong' hears a distilling of the original fourteen-track record down to just four selections. Though every track on the digital version of the album works in its own right, the choice on offer here - 'Hushed', 'Of The West', 'Bluest' and 'Call & Answer' - are particularly deserving of the study on wax. Something static, nigh time-crystalline is achieved on the B2, with its held root note ev…
