American Lament
With Folksong Distortions, Pauwels and Van der Aacreate a journey of lament through the soul of times gone by. Their radical renditions of works by Larry Polansky and Christopher Trapani do not distort the more upbeat rhythm and tradition of folk songs, but rather reveal and highlight the essence of hard lives, imposed choices - choices that were illusions in the first place - and the difficult times and conditions they have always depicted.
Christopher Trapani arranged two classics from the U.S…

Nobody Knows The Heaven
*300 hand-numbered limited edition. 2024 stock. * It's 1975 in Paris. Two young guys in their bed-sit (one of whom is French music maven/famous producer Jay Alansky) are dreaming of counter-culture, and their internal versions of California and New York. The result is this album, a child begotten of Marc Bolan, Baudelaire, and Lautreamont. It's a fascinating record, engaging as it is scare- a look into a parallel pop universe. Somehow, the duo got their record released on Monde Melody's one-off …
