Possessed of a looseness, a lightness and a prodigious
songwriting ability that belies his years, Pascal Babare
is a future slacker superstar who demands the attention
of all fans of Vetiver, Elliott Smith, Iron & Wine,
Peter Broderick, Grizzly Bear, Bright Eyes and
Animal Collective. Recorded across three continents,
‘Thunderclap Spring’ is an ecstatic collection of
morning ragas, evening croons and kaleidoscope
melodies; these wide-eyed mantras set the trajectory for
a new artist destined for truly great things.
Already attracting the attention of celebrity fans and
tastemakers, Pascal’s first album delivers a set of uniquely
charming songs that will creep under many a skin this
Autumn moon. Warm, rickety, direct and honest,
‘Thunderclap Spring’ confirms Pascal Babare as a
serious prospect and a highly unusual talent.
Available as a limited cassette with download code
in an edition of 300, and digital download,
‘Thunderclap Spring’ precedes a full scale Babare release
scheduled for Spring 2010, and is the first album from
Black Maps Limited, a Tokyo and London based label.
