S ND Y P RL RS: “American Girls”.

05 Dec 2011 — Henning Lahmann

All these American girls and their American lies They keep you up at night, they always steal the night Their cats and their moms and dads Keep waiting on the other side All these American girls, they never stay for a while And all the drinking every night And all these American girls and their harmless pride They make you never want to try, it makes you never want to try Now while I don't know any of the circumstances that might explain such outright bitterness, I love the slow, hopeless mourning that is the distinctly lo-fi pop song "American Girls" by Malte C. Jantzen's one-man project S ND Y P RL RS, devastatingly expressing a profound forlornness that I guess we've all already felt at least once in our life (no matter where the girl or boy actually came from). S ND Y P RL RS is part of the New Wedding Avant-Garde artist collective (Wedding as in the district and not the custom, I presume), and "American Girls" appears on S ND Y P RL RS' beautiful cassette Bring Death To S ND Y P RL RS, which may be streamed in full right here and ordered here. Limited edition of 100. In related news, on January 5, 2012, S ND Y P RL RS is going to perform at Berlin Mitte's Schokoladen.

05 Dec 2011 — Henning Lahmann

Vincent Caylet of Archers By The Sea and Cankun has had a stunningly prolific 2011, and word has it that for next year, this psych-induced Frenchman has no intentions whatsoever to slow down. Early in 2012, everyone's favorite imprint Not Not Fun is gonna drop yet another Cankun cassette named Isalo Waterfall. Listen to the first cut "Too Many Clouds" below, a heavily rhythmical tropical banger. Supreme transmissions indeed.

OkTaSeeYou: “Little Girl Crying”.

03 Dec 2011 — Tonje Thilesen

This cleverly crafted 'underwater electronica' straight out of Toulouse might lean in a slight direction of Balam Acab, but definitely in a more cinematic, space-esque way, with plenty of ocean samples and distant, organic beats. There isn't much information about this guy's project as of yet (apparently them Frenchmen like to hide behind a veil of mystery), but his musical vault over at Soundcloud sounds quite impressive so far.
