Before You Go

le révélateur

Le Révélateur is Roger Tellier-Craig, a Montreal based musician who has played with Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Fly Pan Am. The name comes probably from the 1968 movie by Philippe Garrel. The three pieces from Fictions (out now on Gneiss Things) are beautiful synth music with such quality, that makes him directly stands alongside ARP, Jefre Cantu Ledesma...

Bleu Nuit

bardo pond

Bardo Pond was one of my favourite band in the 90's and still is. I think this band has been underrated for too long because of their independence and use of feedback, noise and esoterism. Nevertheless, they have influenced a lot of major bands such as Mogwai, Gospeed You! Black Emperor. They recently released a self titled album on Fire records and they will play in october at the ATP festival in England and in Paris for the BBmix festival alongside Skull Defekts.

pulse emitter

The music of Daryl Groetsch is one of the best example oh how synth music has to sound. Organic, mysterious and dark (or deep if you prefer). There is so much synth music nowadays (Emeralds, Oneohtrix Point Never, Stellar Om Source...) emerging from the noise scene, and Pulse Emitter is certainly one his most suitable representative. His latest album Spiritual Vistas has been released this year from Cylindrical Habitat Modules and Expansive (his own label). Pulse Emitter will be on tour in Europe this fall.

tomutonttu

Jan Anderzen seems quite busy these days. After releasing split records with Our Love Will Destroy The World (Don't Fuck with Magic) and Astral Social Club (Tipped Bowler), the finnish musician has released Elavanä Planeetalla on New Images and a one side LP on Beniffer Editions.
