*80 copies limited edition* Marion Cousin and Eloïse Decazes are musicians, singers and friends. For some fifteen years, each of them, in their various incarnations (Catalina Matorral / Arlt) and companionships (notably Gaspar Claus, Kaumwald, Borja Flames for one, Eric Chenaux, Delphine Dora, Julien Desailly for the other), has been struggling with their own means, their own temperament, to move forward together, albeit crab-like, the chanson d'auteur and the chanson sans auteur - which is contrary to it but not an enemy - traditional music and experimental music.

For the first time as a duo, they offer their loving, crude, heretical version of the vernacular repertoire of Tras-O-Montes, a country in north-east Portugal. It's a bouquet of work songs, festive songs and songs of exasperation sung in a supple, plastic regional idiom, Mirandese - here semi-phonetic and playful - in two false-twin voices. Vocally, it's a frenzy of wild humming at the top of your lungs, on the (gold) edge of justice. The melodies are played like finger-painting or over-colouring with greasy chalk, in a very euphorically disturbed environment, a deluge of nasty noises: machines, dragging drum machines, nano-brutalist synths, guitar paintwork, bursts of laughter. It's lively, to say the least. And constantly surprising, constantly exciting.
