Sury-Tanuki - L'index L'echeur [Bisou Records 022]

Released via the Paris-based Bisou Records label on September 6th, 2k24 is "L'index L'echeur", the eighteen tracks and roughly 51 minutes spanning collaborational album effort created by electronic music producer x engineer Tanuki and illustrator x singer and overall artistic figure Caroline Sury which - alongside a few other album releases - arrived at our premises recently. Sonically this collaborative effort, accompanied by a Caroline Sury's highly detailed take on complex artwork, explores an intricate realm of (Neo)Cosmic x early Synth leaning spatial ambience with a slightly retrofuturist twist, backed by tender Spoken Word lyricism, progresses into playful Glitchtronica, atmospheric crackles, sound collage works and what seems to be electroacoustic tape manipulation as well as hyperchromatic Electronica abstractions, expertly arranged minimalist bass harmonics, dreamy, piano-infused Clicks'n'Cuts and many a thing more - all alongside a steady stream of probably associative Spoken Words, ofc. A highly recommended album affair for both lovers of (French) poetry, experimental electronic music and all things remotely Avantgarde and art-related, this. Go check.
