More lovelyness from the Dirty Demos label this week. Always an interesting label challenging the boundaries of music. How grown up did that sound.... Here's Guillaume Gargaud with a CD pressed a digipack edition of 150 copies in total. I feel like I've just done a bunch of droney noise CD's and here's another one. I like is sort of music a load of it in one go is a bit like eating too much chocolate. I don't feel sick yet I've had enough. Shame really as this is probably the best of the ilk I've heard this week. The lead track builds up into a huge swarm of fuzzing wasps which you want to put into a hot water bottle and stuck in the bed. It's bizarrely comforting. Very moving..... dark forboding yet comforting at the same time. Sort of droney doom with a nice melodic fuzz and crackles in there so fans of Tim Hecker and that sort of thing will have something to like as well. Very cinematic and hypnotic sounding and if I were to have a drone/ experimental album of the week I'd give it to this fucker hands down. It's been made with computer and prepared guitar whatever that is..... aren't all guitars prepared for playing?? If not then it's an unprepared guitar so why say it's prepared? 'Le Lieu' is absolutely lovely lovely stuff despite my enormous ignorance.Guillaume Gargaud is a French musician known for his guitar work and love of improvisation. Guillaume is active within experimental music and can be found in various collaborations such as Zwann Ei collective, Zooloop with Marc Roques and Aarde with fellow Dirty Demos' artist Loïs Laplace. We are very proud to present Guillaume's debut solo album 'Le Lieu'. Here we have pure epic soundscape and hypnotic rhythmical pieces. Drone undercurrents drift and pulse, while dense waves of processed guitar morph into lush glitchy tribal atmos. Drift into another world. special.
