The Declining Winter

Les grands froids commencent à recouvrir mon pelage. Il est grand temps d’allumer le petit bois dans la cheminée et de se couvrir l’esprit d’une musique plus ambiante, plus minimaliste. Laisser la nature vivre son ralentissement comme le très bel Ep  Scenes From The Back Bedroom Window que nous offre The Declining Winter disponible en pré-commande chez Secret Furry Hole.

Intense cold is starting to cover my fur. It is high time we fire the gazling in the chimney and we fill our spirit with a more ambiant, a more minimalist music. Let nature have her rest like the very beautiful Scenes Form The Bedroom Window EP by The Declining Winter, available on pre-order at Secret Furry Hole.

Video: Rene Hell – Slightly Eleven

par Lea Mandana

Un son  kaléidoscopique, enivrant et délicat. « Sligtly Eleven » est le nouveau morceau de Rene Hell qui paraitra sur son prochain LP avec Three-Legged Race.

Jeff Witscher a de la chance puisqu’il vit à Portland, Oregon. Il enregistre aussi sous les noms d’Abelar Scout, Impregnable, Marble Sky ou bien encore Secret Abuse et il dirige le très bon label Agents Of Chaos. Un type plutôt occupé.

Un autre détail qui me semble hyper important de vous faire partager: il aime cuisiner du chorizo cuit avec un œuf au plat et du chou frisé avec un pain focaccia.
Ces derniers temps, il s’amuse avec ses jouets favoris comme le MS2000 et le Memory Man avec Hazarai. Ouais, tout de suite ça vous parle.
Ce qui l’inspire? La passion, rien que ça.  Le dernier film qu’il a regardé? « The Return » par Andreï Zviaguintsev, que je vous recommande vivement au passage.

A kaleidoscopic, intoxicating and dexterous sound. « Slightly Eleven » is the new track from Rene Hell off of the upcoming split LP with Three-Legged Race.

Jeff Witscher is lucky, he lives in Portland Oregon. He also records as Abelar Scout, Impregnable, Marble Sky and Secret Abuse and he is the man behind the great Agents Of Chaos label. A guy kinda busy, you know.

An another detail that it seems to me very important to share with you: he cooks chorizo with fried egg, kale and focaccia bread. Also, his favorite musical toys are currently a MS2000 and a Memory Man with Hazarai. He is inspired by passion and the last movie that he saw is The Return by Andrey Zvyagintsev, if you don’t have seen this yet,  well… I really recommend that you watch it.

Beaty Heart

Je suis devenu accroc aux afro-beats des londoniens de Beaty Heart. Véritable exutoire à la déprime, aux cris tribaux, cela n’est pas sans rappeler les intonations d’Animal Collective aux cris ardents des WU LYF…

I am now addicted to the afro-beats of  Londoners Beaty Heart. A real outlet for breakdown,  with tribal shouts, not far from Animal Collective tones to WU LYF ardent cries…

It seems that Evan Brody (Family Portrait, Underwater Peoples Records) likes the song too.

Well, how can I resume that? It’s a party hit, definitely. And now, you know where you can find the man behind Olde English Spelling Bee.
