Philippe Requena presents ‘Venant le jour’ [mix]

Chapelier Fou ~ Méridiens
Is it possible that Chapelier Fou (Louis Warynski) is getting even more ebullient and clubworthy? From the sound of Méridiens, this seems to be the case. While prior albums tag-teamed on timbres, the new set stays upbeat all the way, with nary a pause

Racine ~ Quelche Chose Tombe
Quelche Chose Tombe (Something Falls) is a mirror of modern anxiety, laying forth fear and anguish in equal measure. The music is suitably dark, dangling on the edge of drone yet marked by blackened electronic beats. Uncertainty is the new normal,

The Floating World & The Sorrowful World was always meant as a diptych, but for nearly a year the two tracks were cut off from one another, set adrift, seeking the balance of their complementary twin. Ironically, this temporary excision adds

Yppah ~ Sunset in the Deep End
Sometimes genres die too quickly, leaving their fans stranded. After a deluge of releases in a short period of time, the flow slows to a trickle. (When’s the last time you heard a great new new wave song?) Once in

Long Arm ~ Silent Opera
Silent Opera seems tailor-made for a dance company. Through allusion and allegory, Long Arm presents a wide-angle story whose message is revealed through a voiceover in the closing minutes: “Choose life before it’s too late.” Stating one’s concept with a speech, however short,
