Pop music is doing well in France and the upcoming debut album from Dorian Pimpernel, Allombon, serves as evidence. Formed in the mid-2000s, their well practised pop techniques are displayed on Allombon, set to be released on March 30th through Born Bad Records.
Here’s ‘Ovlar E‘, one of the tracks featured in the album. Enjoy.
Last month we heard the first single from Sisyphus‘ upcoming self-titled debut album. Now the collaborative project of Sufjan Stevens, Serengeti and Son Lux, formerly known as s / s / s, are rolling out another mind-blowing cut off the album, ‘Alcohol’, in the form of a video featuring a multitude of random pictures. I’ve listened to ‘Alcohol’ well over a dozen times. Here it is.
Sisyphus will be released on March 18th via Asthmatic Kitty and Joyful Noise Recordings.
Hiding in the Light is the debut EP from new Los Angeles based project Kimono Kult. The outfit is a supergroup of sorts, comprising former Red Hot Chili Pepper’s member John Frusciante, Mars Volta’s Omar Rodríguez-López and Bosnian Rainbows’ Teri Gender Bender and also Nicole Turley, Dante White and Laena Geronimo. Slated for a March 3rd release via Neurotic Yell Records, Hiding In The Light is described as “four songs of electro/dub/afro-beat/avant-freak/jazz-like conversations of instrumental ecstasy”.
The EP’s closing track ‘La Cancion de Alexandra’ is now available to stream. Check it out below.
