Stéréogramme / France / 2023 / CS
"Stéréogramme returns with the second opus of his “Interactive Pictures” series. Walking the same road as last year, paved with new age, freak folk and leftfield
synths, the Paris-based label also ventures to new paths like minimalism, no wave and vocal experimentations.
Once again divided in two musical panoramas, this 11-track tape will definitely bring back your happy childhood memories to the surface. First, take a nap with the soothing lullabies of Héron Cendré, Peter Graf York, Les Echos Primitifs, Lamina & Bravo Tounky, only to be interrupted by Ronan Riou’s feverish contribution. Then, hear the spooky, harebrained stories of Aymeric de Tapol, Leoni Leoni, Houschyar, Geier aus Stahl, Zad Kokar and Firmaet Forvoksen. In short, another marvelous line-up gathered by head-honcho Rako, who made its specialty of unearthing spontaneous yet skillful compositions.
So, stay on the lookout until July 7, 2023 and entertain your inner-child’s fertile imagination via “Interactive Pictures Vol. 2” and its limited-batch of 100 cassettes grouped in different artwork versions designed by Structure Bâtons."
