We love music !!
agnès b. has always lived in music!
From Bob Marley’s 33 tours that kept going on in the first shop opened in 1976 rue du Jour to the web radio that the stylist launches now, music has always occupied an important place.
BAR ITALIA "Tracey Denim"
‘Tracey Denim’ was recorded and produced by bar italia with mixing from Marta Salogni. It features singles “Nurse!”, described as “a hypnotic post-punk ballad” (The Guardian) and “narcotically arresting” (Pitchfork), and “punkt”, featured in The Observer's “Hot Tracks” and on which Clash noted, “quietly shattering the rulebook, bar italia are delivering something very interesting indeed.”

The National "First Two Pages of Frankenstein" on 4AD
After two back-to-back albums and several busy years of touring, First Two Pages of Frankenstein was initially stalled while lead singer Matt Berninger navigated, “a very dark spot where I couldn’t come up with lyrics or melodies at all. Even though we’d always been anxious whenever we were working on a record, this was the first time it ever felt like maybe things really had come to an end.” Instead, The National “managed to come back together and approach everything from a different angle, and because of that we arrived at what feels like a new era for the band,” according to guitarist/pianist Bryce Dessner, whose bandmates also include his brother Aaron (guitar/piano/bass) as well as brothers Scott Devendorf (bass, guitar) and Bryan Devendorf (drums).

Koudlam "Precipice Fantasy Part II
Friday March 31, 5PM
After releasing "Precipice Fantasy Part I" in October 2022, Koudlam delivers the second part of his album.
The first part is a salvo of meteorites where the artist uses, as usual, standardized pop patterns to make them disrupted, and always without deviating from the ultimate melody, chanted until trance.
The second part is an instrumental and contemplative record, a kind of music for an uncomfortable yoga session, that of a tourist who dreamed of climbing Everest but who no longer has the strength to get out of Kathmandu's underworld.
Koudlam thus delivers the soundtrack of the summits and the precipices. Or rather that of the path between the two, sinuous, vertiginous, always on the edge of the blade.

Six songs For Genesis P-Orridge
Child Of the Nature, Forager Records
Friday March 17, 3PM
A further exercise in musical curation, Child Of Nature is our latest sonic confluence of self-released tracks from the loners, hippies and outsiders of the 70s and early 80s. A collection of privately pressed music, able to breathe and be created free from the constraints of heavy handed commercialism, yielding a pure vision of artistic expression. Child Of Nature features ten songs of brooding soft rock and psychedelic folk steeped in melancholia. Some ache for better times or past lovers, while others seek spiritual fulfillment or social progress.
A compilation to evoke the raw and unobstructed, to summon the occult, to fundamentally conjure a vivid portrait of our untamed natural environment. Recorded on the north coast of California, Luellen Reese’s ethereal “Silvery Waterfalls” drifts and swirls with electric guitar as her unearthly vocals transcend across a seven minute opus, fit for the golden age of labels like 4AD or Dedicated. “The flowers are dancing just for you …”, Reggie Russell croons over glistening Key Of Creek’s title track “Child Of Nature”, evoking a utopian world of natural harmony free from the present day realities of industrial decay.
Tap into your inner primal being, to embrace wholeheartedly, with frivolity and without reserve, your own child of nature.

SUMMERCAMP takes us by the hand and takes us on a journey, from the Parisian studio on rue d'Enghien to a multitude of fantasized and real territories where the most obvious and improbable encounters are born. Accompanied by their guests, music as a universal language, each song is an invitation to share the dreams and hopes of Rob & Jack Lahana.
Composed by Rob, punctuated by Jack Lahana, SUMMERCAMP is an album, a collection, a collection, a series of intimate and epic moments, sunny and bloody, melancholy and dancing.

I:Cube, "Eye Cube"
Friday March 3, 3PM
I:Cube released their sixth album, simply titled Eye Cube, on March 3.
In recent years, Nicolas Chaix has made a plethora of remixes and released a lot of stuff either alone (Double pack, Cubo Live Sessions 1 and 2) or with friends (John Cravache, Gilbert, Alma vox, or his son).
The creative process for "Eye cube", a reference to the initial form of his blase chosen in 1993 (memophone era, graffiti, art studies, techno and library records at Boulinier to sample, all that), is mainly based on the live jam with machines in the studio.
Certainly his most personal album to date with one foot in the club, the other in more experimental music containing elegiac ambient passages and darkos moments, it's something to listen to as you want, the album format being ultimately quite secondary.
The whole is instinctive, raw, immersive and sincere, with a magical and analog production of the most beautiful effect.
Capture the moment in the studio, the moment when "something is happening", return to something more urgent and timeless. It's successful Mr. Cube, well done!

The Two Eps, Owen Pallett
Friday, February 24th, 3PM
Domino is pleased to announce expanded and remastered reissues of Owen Pallett's early catalog, including the albums Has A Good Home (2005) and He Poos Clouds (2006), as well as two Spectrum EPs, 14th Century and Plays to Please (both 2008) combined into an LP version. These recordings have been remastered by João Carvalho at Revolution, and will be available on vinyl and digital in deluxe editions, with rare titles, B-sides, excerpts from compilations and unreleased tracks.
Owen Pallett built his reputation on his stage virtuosity, as a violinist for many local Toronto bands (including The Hidden Cameras), and then with his solo project. Has a Good Home serves as an introduction (and includes many of his best-known songs), and the next He Poos Clouds is a string quartet album based on Dungeons & Dragons School of Magic, and was awarded the inaugural Polaris Music Prize. .
This spring, Owen Pallett and The Hidden Cameras will co-headline a European tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Smell of Our Own album by The Hidden Cameras. The Smell Of Our Own is a seminal album from the Toronto scene of the early 2000s, where the artistic, musical, DIY and queer communities came together. Owen was both a band member and a contributor to this album. "It felt like a stage party, we were part of a big and prolific gay scene in Toronto. It was a celebratory time in our lives."

King Tuff "Smalltown Stardust"
happens, or that we find ourselves lost in a moment of creation with other people
who share our vision. You say, "This is what I want to be. That's what I want to share." It is a fleeting feeling and it is one that Kyle Thomas, the singer-songwriter who
records and performs as King Tuff, began researching in the spring of 2020.
But knowing that he could not recreate this period of his life at will, Thomas, originally from Brattleboro, Vermont set out to write a love letter to those precious moments
of inspiration and to the small town that formed it. The one where he first nourished his impulses as a composer, by exchanging ideas with other like-minded artists. The kind of place where the changing seasons bring a sense of perspective and new artistic inspiration.
It was there that he felt a deep connection with nature. “I wanted to make an album to remind myself that life is magic,” he tells us. That's how Thomas got hold of his memories, creating this which he calls "an album about love, nature and youth".
Mofo 17 - Des Racines du Zele
Friday January 20, 6 PM
We thought he was defeated. Trampled by the authorities, torn from his own home, sabotaged by a pandemic, frozen by two long winters… We thought he was gone forever. But he was nevertheless seen, at the corner of Charles Garnier and Étienne Dolet streets. Passers-by have seen it, yes! It looks like he survived! The legend says that from an animal, it would have changed into a plant. That to resist, it would have taken the form of pungent herbs, mutated flowers: an ideal alloy to take back roots, where its place has always been. Did you know that weeds always grow back? Yes, we can assure you: MOFO is really back.
From 26 au 28 january 2023, Mains d’Œuvres will welcome, after three long years of absence, the MOFO festival for its seventeenth edition. And is there more fertile ground than that of its parent company to grow the craziest herbs that its path has crossed in the meantime?

Taken by Trees Another Year EP on Rough Trade records
Friday December 16, 3PM
After a four year pause, Victoria Bergsman’s Taken By Trees returns with a mini album of Colin Blunstone covers entitled Another Year, which will be released by Rough Trade Records. Out today is the first track from the mini album, Say You Don’t Mind, a song written and originally recorded by The Moody Blues' Denny Laine in 1967, which was then a solo hit for Colin Blunstone in 1972.
“It’s really exciting to see these songs brought back to life 50 years later with such unique interpretations. Victoria Bergsman’s instantly recognisable vocals add such a melancholy and contemporary edge.” Colin Blunstone.
This mini album also marks the 50th anniversary of The Zombies frontman Colin Blunstone’s debut solo album, One Year, an underrated classic — but it also became an emotional salute to one of Bergsman’s favourite singers.

Takayuki Shiraishi "Photon" on Camisole records
Following those 80's industrial projects he continued his path and recorded numerous electronic tracks without forgetting his experimental roots.
After an EP on the highly revered label Apollo with his alias "Planetoid", he released on a very limited run his first album "Photon" only on cd in 1997.
Mixing Techno and Ambient, those works were recorded between 1987 and 1996 to create a trancey ride of dreamy tunes.
A journey through spectral dances and afterglows, dreamy incantations and Solar rituals devoted to euphoria.
Experimental techno who never forget to keep your mind and body aware.

Heimat remix on Teenage Menopause records
Friday November 25, 6PM
Following two manifesto-albums, which quickly became an influence of marginal musics in France, Olivier Demeaux & Armelle Oberlé asked artists whose directions they share to revisit some of the flagship titles of their catalog.
We thus find there the priest of the English pysché Sonic Boom, the cantor of slow techno Tolouse Low Trax, the experimenter of the modular_synths Le Crabe or Zohar, UVB76, PlimPlim and many others.

Principles of Geometry
Friday 11 november, 6PM
Signs, symbols, figures which are for us so many founding influences. This is where this Alphabet finds its Alpha. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ is therefore an evocation, almost like an incantation, of the influences that have shaped our musical language and our common language. A raw material without which we would not have had the chance to meet and experience our twinness.
It is also a song of the machine, and of the machines, an extension of the capacities of the instruments, which was born in the mid-90s, with the emergence of electronic music to be listened to by listening to oneself from within. .For both of us, it's the song of printed circuits, electric dreams lulled by IDM (Intelligent dance music), which finds its expression in the compilations Artificial Intelligence by Warp Records, Braindance by Rephlex, abstractions by Skam and Planet Mu, dream under influence, electronica in all its forms, and analog abstractions of the soundtracks of our childhood. A founding haunt in our work, but which we had never approached to this point. So that was our starting point.

Valentin Ranger, Playlist La Fab.
Friday July 15, 3PM
Valentin Ranger describes the landscape that inhabits his mind as a “huge opera”. With a background in theatre, the young man first found the confidence to assume himself as he was, before coming up against the limits of the human body. Influenced by popular fiction and the fantastic worlds of video games, his agender characters with heart-shaped heads embody the guardians of a hybrid wonderland. Phantasmagoric, the creatures in her work coexist in harmony to the point of merging their bodies in euphoric scenes.
The artist wins the agnès b. des beaux arts de paris in 2021 and is part of the Emerige 2022 revelations.

"Vacation From my mind" on Forager records
Friday 8 july, 3PM
A gift to the overthinkers and overworked. Those who are over-concerned and always preoccupied. This is an invitation to hang up the bootstraps, take a load off, and visit a place in the mind where the sun is shining, the breeze is soft and the waves lap softly at your feet. Vacation From My Mind is a sonic realignment of melancholic soul, breezy soft rock, & mellow jazz-funk..

Friday 1st July, 3PM
If this new batch of novelties starts on a cloud of sweetness and blossoms in the tenderness of a pop mixed with soul, you should never let yourself be lulled without expecting other emotions. A post-punk storm could well distract you from this languid break. Like every month, the editor's choice presents all its differences, its raw turns, but remains two hours of modern pop in the most eclectic sense of the term.

Damn heat. No matter how much we live in the present, it comes to crush everything without warning. Do we have the choice to free ourselves from it? Not really, unless you activate aids that will only increase its presence in the future. The snake that swallows itself over time... We choose to clear our heads with modern pop novelties. Here is our salvo for sunny days, one hundred percent fresh, my good lady. Hoping we don't get played again.

Mitzpah album release at La Fab.
Wednesday May 25, 7PM
Hervé Zénouda (Stinky Toys, Elli & Jacno, Mathématiques Modernes) and Gregory Davidow (Spions) formed a short-lived duo in Paris in 1981. That summer they recorded demos for a band project, code-named Mitzpah. First, a few tracks in Polydor studios, with the precious help of the Modern Guys, Yann Le Ker and Jean-François Coen. Then, voice and guitar demos in Zenouda's flat in New York, with a complete Mitzpah album in mind. Forty years later, never losing sight of this aborted venture, Zénouda decided to re-record all the songs with Davidow on vocals and Le Ker on guitars. The artwork was commissioned from Loulou Picasso, who created two original paintings for the front and back.
The album, entitled "Lonesome Harvest: Re-enactment N°1 (Paris 1981)", is released on Friday 13 May 2022 on the Pop Supérette label.
"These sounds and songs that the younger generation is so fascinated with trying to recreate are right here in front of us, intact. It's a great opportunity." (Bertrand Burgalat, 2020)

The Smile - A Light For Attracting Attention
Friday May 13, 3PM
The Smile will release their highly anticipated debut album A Light For Attracting Attention on 13 May, 2022 on XL Recordings.
The 13-track album was produced and mixed by Nigel Godrich and mastered by Bob Ludwig. Tracks feature strings by the London Contemporary Orchestra and a full brass section of contemporary UK jazz players including Byron Wallen, Theon and Nathaniel Cross, Chelsea Carmichael, Robert Stillman and Jason Yarde.
The Smile, comprising Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons of Kemet’s Tom Skinner, have previously released the singles You Will Never Work in Television Again, The Smoke, and Skrting On The Surface to critical acclaim.
The Smoke was also released as a dub remix by legendary reggae producer Dennis Bovell.
The Smile’s most recent single Pana-vision was released on 3 April and appeared in the finale of Peaky Blinders. The animated video for Pana-vision features artwork by Radiohead artist Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke.
The brand new single Free In The Knowledge is out today, April 20, with an accompanying video directed by Leo Leigh. The track was first performed by Thom Yorke as part of the Letters Live event at London’s Royal Albert Hall, in December 2021, the first time Thom had performed since the pandemic began. Introducing the song, he dedicated it to all fellow UK musicians.

Further Sounds of S.E. Rogie on Mississippi records
S.E. Rogie went from running a tailor shop in Sierra Leone to being one of West Africa's most popular artists. He toured around the country, singing his palm wine music in multiple local languages, created his own record label, and was known as the most handsome man in Sierra Leone. He formed the highlife band The Morningstars in 1965. In 1973, he came to the Bay Area to live and expand his base, performing everywhere from local high schools and convalescent homes to festivals and large stages. In his later life he hit the road again and toured the world, eventually passing away while on stage in Russia in 1994.
He shared the following songwriting wisdom with his son, Rogee Rogers: “When you write a song, you can be complicated if you want, but your chorus should be that anybody can sing it.”
These tracks were originally released on his own Rogie label in the 1960s and include solo, ensemble, and Morningstars songs, most of which have never been reissued until now.
A co-release with the mighty Domino Sound label.

Ethan P. Flynn Universal Deluge EP
Friday March 11, 3PM
Conceived over a period of three years, Universal Deluge shows the depth and breadth of Ethan P. Flynn's plural and wildly singular production methods. Building on the success of his debut album B. Sides & Rarities Vol. 1, the EP Universal Deluge embarks on a darker side of pop. Combining electronic experimentation with stripped-down acoustics, it's a swirling, psychedelic little masterpiece of lo-fi.

Playlist La FAB - Homey
Friday December 10th, 2021 - 3 PM (Paris time)
Homey born in 1998, is a Parisian artist trained at HEAR Strasbourg. His practices are varied, ranging from graffiti to painting, including graphics and illustration. Almost never using color, he prefers to let his contrasting shapes speak for themselves. The balance between black and white is important as is the notion of nostalgia. Indeed, many references come from his childhood, especially animation, underground comix, Pop culture or even 16th century engraving. From these various inspirations are born hybrid compositions mixing a repetition of abstract and digital motifs confronting figurative elements. The fingerprint as a starting point is one of the many repeating motifs that he explores and that he has declined for several years in Paris.

Leonie Pernet "Le Cirque de Consolation" infiné music
The sought after whirlwind of French Pop that exploded onto the scene with her debut „Crave“, supported by agnès b.
Leonie Pernet, returns with her second album, „Le Cirque de Consolation“, a sort of
double negative of her first. While the yearning that sat at the center of „Crave“might not
have been resolved, the young multi-instrumentalist and singer has found a new
perspective - a more open and positive outlook on her own life and work. Perhaps telling,
then, that the title was the first element of the album to exist: as it is and has always been a
journey of personal (and collective) consolation first, a musical confrontation with the self.
"This record parallels my life's journey," confirms Leonie, "it reflects what has happened in
my life since 'Crave' came out and how I feel today. There's still a lot of melancholy, but a lot
more sunshine and light. In four years, I've become sober, which has saved me; I've worked a
lot on my voice, which is a part of a desire to speak, to address my audience more directly,
and also a more pronounced pop desire.“ In line with her new-found „openness“, Leonie
invites another musician into her creative process for the first time on „Le Cirque de
Consolation“: Jean Sylvain le Gouic, who lended his coproduction and perspective to her,
while Leonie still plays almost all instruments herself with an astounding prowess.
Leonie’s voice oozes with a new-found self-confidence and takes center stage amidst
eclectic, distinctively fun and open-minded production. Sometimes she sings in English,
mostly in French: “I worked a lot on my voice," confirms Leonie, "I didn't dare to sing before,
neither live, nor on record, nor in the studio.“ Surrounding her astounding, intoxicating voice
are forays into any direction imaginable: from harsh, experimental electronics to the more

STAR FEMININE BAND "Femme Africaine" Born Bad Records
Through all of these songs, each of the Star Feminine Band members brings their own inspiration. André composes all their songs. He admits: “They bring their ideas. The dream of these girls is to become international stars. They must show the importance of women throughout the world. Speak of Africa, accomplish great missions around the values of women. They talk about female genital mutilation, abuse and violence against girls. We want to include these subjects in the political debate in Benin, then elsewhere in Africa if this is ever possible ”.
With much confidence, an undeniable ecumenism and charisma, Star Feminine Band is one of the prides of the Atakora region. The band is even starting to instigate vocations, while sowing the seeds for the next generation of provincial girls, driven by an iron will, forged of the same mineral as the weapons of Kaba, forgotten hero of the Atakora.
True heroines of everyday life, the seven girls of the Star Feminine Band embody the future and the next generation in search of recognition. “In the 1960s, God was a black girl who sang” used to say New York composer duo Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Sixty years later, in one of the forgotten provinces of the African continent, this adage takes on its full value.

Other You, Steve Gunn (Matador Records)
Friday August 27, 3PM
“I came up with this title when we were recording vocals and Rob was very into harmonies. There was a third part and I just couldn’t find the note. I couldn’t vocalize it. He went in and took my voice and put it into his computer program, then he could playback and “sing” the note with my voice using the computer. And he said, ‘Sing to the other you.’ So I was singing along to myself singing a note I couldn’t sing" – Steve Gunn
Other You is the sixth studio album by American singer Steve Gunn that will be released August 27th on Matador. Recorded during two visits to Los Angeles in late 2020 and early 2021, the album was made with veteran producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Cass McCombs, Kurt Vile) at his Mant Studios alongside musician and longtime friend and collaborator Justin Tripp, whose credits include appearances on Gunn’s Time Off and Way Out Weather.

La Route du Rock Playlist
LA ROUTE DU ROCK FESTIVAL
SAINT-MALO
18-22 AUGUST 2021
CAPSULE COLLECTION
For this special edition, La Route du Rock is reinventing itself, imagining a new route and investing in new exceptional places on the Emerald Coast: the Briantais park and the castle courtyard in Saint-Malo, the green theater in Cancale. , Vallion beach in Saint-Jouan-des-Guérets and Mont-Dol. Always faithful to its artistic line, the festival offers this summer an entirely French program that bears witness to the vitality of our independent scene, from abrasive post-punk to intimate folk, from sunny pop to a dreamy atmosphere.
On the program: the pop-modern heroes of La Femme, the scintillating pop of François & The Atllas Mountains, the meeting at the height of sixties pop between Maxwell Farrington & Le Superhomard, the tribute to Leonard Cohen of H-Burns with The Stranger Quartet, the timeless folk of Raoul Vignal, the punk iconoclast Nathan Roche from Villejuif Underground, Chevalrex and his intimate pop, the haunted folk of the magician Lisa Li-Lund, the soaring odyssey of Grand Veymont, the breakaway pop of Arthur Satàn, the epic rock of Lesneu, Veik and his hypnotic krautrock, the lo-fi power-pop of Special Friend, the incandescent post-punk of Heimat, the aquatic ambience of Roméo Poirier, the timeless indie rock by Hoorsees, the tangy pop of KCIDY, the luminous surf of Beach Youth, the delirious synth-pop of Murman Tsuladze, the bewitching multi-instrumentalist Blumi.

Evasion, Dominique André
Friday July 23, 3PM
A whole world of escape
The Amateur (someone who engages in painting, music, sport, science, without the spirit of mastery or competition), the Amateur renews his pleasure (amator: one who loves and loves again); he is anything but a hero (of creation, or performance); he establishes himself graciously (for nothing) in the signifier: in the immediately definitive substance of music, of painting, he is – he will be perhaps – the counter-bourgeois artist.
In Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes (1975)
And this is what sometimes went on in the mid-seventies of the last century. Dominique André is in his studio-apartment, a converted maid’s room on Avenue Junot in Paris. In front of his Revox tape recorder, which can record two tracks separately, is a motley collection of instruments: a children’s organ, a cooking pot, a guitar, a frying pan and various other everyday objects to be rubbed, banged together and gently beaten. On either side of the recorder, an upright piano, a stack of film sound effects records and a vinyl turntable sit waiting. Dominique André turns one of the potentiometers of his Revox machine to the left, and the tape slows down, the continuum loses its flow, and we go back in time.

Bleu Melody
Friday July 16, 3PM
As part of our partnership with Route Du Rock, La Ville de Saint Malo and RVD Books, we will broadcast on agnès b. radio from 3pm Friday July 16 History of Melody Nelson (original mix) and The Melody Nelson Sessions with all the alternative takes.
Tony Frank "Blue Melody"
Exhibition from July 24 to August 22, 2021 in Saint-Malo - La tour Bidouane
This summer, the festival presents an exhibition of Tony Frank's photographs taken for the legendary cover of “Melody Nelson” by Serge Gainsbourg.
It is essentially based on the book "Bleu Melody" published by RVB which collects all the photographic documents produced in 1971 for the cover and the interior of the album.
The reproduction of the contact sheets, the ektas sleeves and the readings take a behind-the-scenes look at a photo that has toured the world and sheds light on the historical dimension of this shot.
"The photo of Melody Nelson's cover is undoubtedly the one that I hear the most about, even today. At the time, I knew it was an important record for Serge. But I didn't think it was going to be so huge, that it was going to cross time and go around the world ... " Tony Frank.
Free entry / Every day from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Exhibition presented by La Route of Rock with the support of Ville de Saint-Malo, RVB Books et agnès b.

Mirror II, The Goon Sax
Friday July 9, 3PM
The Goon Sax have announced new album Mirror II, to be released July 9th on Matador Records. The band’s third album and first for Matador, Mirror lI is a new beginning: a multi-dimensional eclectic journey of musical craftsmanship that moves from disco to folk to no wave skronk with staggering cohesion. The first-person narratives of their school days have graduated into an immersive and fluid world, one where “the narrator changes, the view-point isn’t definitive”. Songs have been made expansive, more universal, more weird— as introduced by the supernatural avant-pop of first single ‘In The Stone’.

La Piscine + Un Homme est Mort, Michel Legrand
Friday June 11, 3PM
Wewantsounds is delighted to reissue one of Michel Legrand's best soundtracks composed for the French thriller "La Piscine" (The Swiming Pool), released in 1969 and featuring Alain Delon and Romy Schneider. Legrand penned the score straight after "The Thomas Crown Affair" OST and it features the same ultra cool mix of memorable themes, slick jazzy instrumentals and funky pop songs.
The full soundtrack was only released in Japan and France and is now very rare. Three bonus tracks that have never been released on vinyl have been added, all newly remastered and housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve designed by Eric Adrian Lee with new liner notes by Jeremy Allen. As a RSD Bonus we’ve also included Legrand’s ultra rare funky 7”OST of “Un Homme Est Mort" from 1972 in its original artwork.

Intermezzo... A movement coming between the major sections of an extended musical
work. Dischi Autunno... A label conjuring black magic between every section in electronic music...
Mapping psychedelic flight patterns between worlds unknown, Noura Labbani and Jennifer
Cardini’s electronique noir imprint Dischi Autunno sits right in the centre of dance music’s
primordial universe. Italo, acid, electro, disco, emo, alternative, indie, lo-fi, trance, bass, new
beat, big beat, synthwave and coldwave; a huge unclassifiable cauldron of moody electronic
vapours fuming away at a sultry slow and low tempo.
Swooping low in the shadows since their last outing in November (Pablo Bozzi’s ‘Last
Moscow Mule’) the label slides into our DMs (Doc Martens) fashionably late for 2021 with their
most explorative and daring dispatch to date: ‘Intermezzo 1 & 2’. Two vital VA collections,
22 tracks in total, the label’s sprawling leftfield network is articulately mapped out in more
cosmic detail than ever before.
Some of the destinations may already be familiar as both ‘Intermezzo’ missions occasionally
reference previous trips. Label ally and confidant Curses is present and correct (and also
responsible for the artwork, along with his wife) as are Younger Than Me, Golden Filter,
Chinaski, Kendal, Javi Redondo and Dollkraut. But many more acts featured on here are
new to the burgeoning stable; new talent who’ve been grafting at the future coalface under
the radar. Zillas On Acid, Mogambo, KOB101, Jacques Satre, A Strange Wedding, Het
Morson, Arabian Panther, all of them sharing a spirit for raw, smouldering sonics that sit
amid the fringes and between the boundaries. Dark, sexy, heavy sounds that transcend far
beyond the dancefloor yet forever have a footing on it, Dischi Autunno’s extended musical
work continues to conjure black magic at a time when we need it the most.

Heimat, Zwei
Friday May 7, 3PM
What is time in the face of a great album?
Those albums that do not age, which never cease to surprise with their innovative freshness, listening after listening, ignoring the years passing by.
Heimat's debut album is one of those, which you keep on the shelf or the turntable, like a reassuring fetish object.
It is quite legitimate that these two, Armelle and Olivier, proud genius osprings of Cheveu and the mythical The Dreams, have groped their way forward, without any sense of urgency but relying on their solid live experience, indulging in meticulous experimental research in order to sculpt the worthy successor of their « Heimat »-manifesto.
If "Zwei" is inspired by marginal lands that were untouched before them, the production and extensive mastering allow the duo's experiments to cross new borders. Armelle's voice moves away from Germanic influences, digging deeper and further south.
These forays make their incongruous music furthermore uncategorizable : more direct and sharp, it nevertheless loses its audience in a limbo of burnt pop, broken but reassuring at the same time.
« Zwei », Heimat’s second album will be released on May 7th through Teenage Menopause Records & Cry Baby.
Already available for shipping.

Mutator, Alan Vega
Friday April 23, 3PM
Alan Vega’s name is synonymous with unfettered, tireless creativity. Beginning in the late 1950s, when he was a fine art student at Brooklyn College, through his years playing in Suicide, and all the way up until his death in 2016, Vega was constantly creating. That process naturally led to a wealth of material that didn’t see the light of day immediately when it was recorded, which came to be known as the Vega Vault. Mutator is the first in a series of archival releases from the Vault that will come out on Sacred Bones Records.
Mutator was recorded alongside Vega’s longtime collaborator Liz Lamere at his NYC studio from 1995-1996, and it serves as a document of a particularly fertile time in his creative life. He had 11 full-length solo albums come out during the ’80s, ’90s and ’00s - plus numerous collaborations, and Suicide records A Way of Life and Why Be Blue. Mutator wasn’t shelved intentionally, but Vega’s back-to-the- grindstone M.O. meant that he had moved on to making his next record before this one was finished. Lamere and Vega’s friend and confidante Jared Artaud (The Vacant Lots) rediscovered the raw, unmixed recordings from the Mutator sessions in the Vault in 2019. Soon after, they mixed and produced them into the visionary album that was lurking within those tapes.
At the time of the Mutator sessions, Vega was massively inspired by what was happening in the streets of New York - not only the hip hop scenes that were ex- ploding throughout the outer boroughs, but also the literal sounds of the streets, the traffic noise and industrial ambience of city living. That influence trickled into the sounds he and Lamere captured in those sessions. That sensibility, paired with Vega’s unmistakable voice and force of personality, is what made it the great album it is now. The final piece was the production job, completed by Lamere and Artaud 25 years after the songs were first captured.

Glass Of Blood, Lisa Li-Lund
Friday April 16, 3PM
Discover the first 4 singles from the album "Glass of Blood" to be released on April 23, 2021. For the occasion Lisa Li-Lund has also produced a spotify playlist (link available here below) and two jingles which will be broadcast on the radio. The entire album will be listened to on Wednesday, April 21 on all agnès b. radio stations.
Lisa li-lund has had several lives. The Franco-Swedish musician first made her foray (with guitar, piano, vocals) in the anti-folk galaxy. Prolific, she released 10 albums and a slew of EPs whilst touring everywhere from Brazil to the United States & right across Europe. Her curiosity has led to collaborations with artists as diverse as Jeffrey Lewis, Kimya Dawson, The Cairo Gang, The Mountain Goats, Dj Gero, The Wave Pictures and Quixote.
This fan of the Stones, Springsteen, Suicide and Dolly Parton has never been locked down to one area of the world. Her forays include lofi Californian pop with her duo Bay Bear and the crazy multi-cultural splurge of the
French Cowboys. Another frequented planet ? That of The Big Crunch Theory, an intergalactic electro escape imagined with Gilbr' from the highly influential Versatile label. How to create a bridge between Sun Ra and her
folk roots…
These different trips all contributed in their own way to nourishing Lisa's new solo project. It is no coincidence that the songwriter signs her album under her real name. She put "all the colors from the heart - the ghosts, the darkness, the blood, the bones, the mirages, the night and the moon," she says, "are not dark places to me. It's there where I feel safe, and especially myself. "
Recorded between Sweden and France, Glass Of Blood is the story of a quest. After a long period of silence and a project abandoned with DJ Chloé, Lisa came across Arthur Peschaud from the Pan European label who helped her to pursue her ideas and to get back in the saddle. Composed in a moment of graceful chaos with her guitar, synth, childhood piano & drum box, she's set no limits on her latest opus with full band. Mixing dreamlike pop and cosmic electro, her melodies leave all the room for strangeness and experiments.
Her songs, both brutal and tender, tell us about things in life - renewal, space-time travel and above all love (not shared). It all starts with "Janet", a melancholy stroll streamlined that sings of resilience. "Planet", a heady synthetic ritornello, poetizes the shock of collusion against a background of violins and "Muscle Memory of Missing You" sounds a tribute to the 80's pop recounting the absence of the loved one.
The title of the piece "Yes, I could use a glass of blood" sums up the raw and visceral energy that Lisa wanted to infuse into these eleven songs. "This phrase haunts me & accompanies me everywhere. It's been more than 10 years that it keeps running through my heart. As soon as I feel weak, sad, or in danger, I hear it, I recite it, I write it, I sing it, I draw it. For me this glass of blood is the symbol of a vital energy source. "
To bring this cathartic record to life, Lisa worked in pairs for production, mixing and arrangements with her double, Guillaume Léglise (Fictions, Vox Low). He was the only boy in her girlband from The Big Crunch Theory. We also find on Glass Of Blood other valiant "knights" as Lisa calls them. Turzi, Etienne Jaumet and Cosmic Neman from Zombie Zombie, Maxime Delpierre (VKNG, Limousine), Ben McConnell (drummer for JB Dunckel, Au Revoir Simone, Beach House), Clémence Lasme (Moodoïd), Gaspar Claus, Rémi Foucard, Maxime Sokolinski (Hologram with Clara Luciani) have all joined this bloody adventure.

César & Rosalie
Friday April 9, 3PM
After « Les choses de la vie », Transversales proudly presents the first ever LP reissue of this classic Philippe Sarde soundtrack.
« As it happens, Philippe is less interested in his natural function which is to write music sheets... than in the film itself. And I, somehow, am as much, and perhaps more interested in the music than in the film itself. There lies the deep reason for our paradoxical relationship.” These are the words French film director Claude Sautet used to define his collaboration with the French prodigious composer.
The « Cesar et Rosalie » score is like a magical bridge linking baroque and electronic music, mixing Moog synthesizer sequences with acoustic instruments.
Compared to the original CAM LP, this reissue contains 6 unreleased tracks that were removed from the original tracklisting. Among them a Mariage 72 in Bacharach style and a beautiful piano version of the theme performed by Philippe Sarde himself. It obviously contains Romy Schneider’s famous voice-over in the unforgettable track La lettre de Rosalie.

Cubo live sessions volume 2, I:Cube
Friday March 5 2021, 3PM
In exclusivity and for the release of the second volume we going to play on agnès b. radio the 2 volumes.
Improvising as a way to end a track, a moment in time lasting forever, a singularity as a constant: this is the illusion created by I:Cube for these Cubo Live Sessions: to jam and to edit, a free conversation with his machines.
This new found freedom is a natural evolution following years of hard work in the Versatile basement. We used to hear Cube sweating for days on a single sound or loop, we know through those Live Sessions that Cube has realised that perfection is not of this world. Or rather that perfection precisely is that ephemeral instant, that will to capture a dream and bring back a fragment from his multidimensional travels.
From this precarious equilibrium, this big bang, proceeds an entire universe, an almost living organism. I:Cube always touched by grace, smiling demiurge building track by track an ever growing intimacy with his listeners.

Broadcasting François de Roubaix, “Les Secrets de la Mer Rouge”
Friday January 29th 2021, 3 AM
For the first time on LP, François de Roubaix’s full score for the French TV series “Les Secrets de la Mer Rouge”, an adaptation of the epic travel, through the Middle East, of the famous writer and explorer Henri de Monfreid. This album is a collection of the original (1967) themes and those recorded later in 1975 when the TV series was continued.
In the 1967 soundtrack, de Roubaix uses various flutes, marine conches, and for underwater views, unexpected instruments such as a celesta or a crystal xylophone. By 1975, electronic technology had dramatically developed and this evolution is clearly apparent when one listens to the recordings of the two seasons. For the later 1975 series, de Roubaix composed a new music score, mixing old and new sounds, a great combination of EMS VCS3 synthesizer subtly mixed with acoustic instruments.
For François de Roubaix, there was never a border between fiction, life and music, and writing music for “Les secrets de la Mer Rouge” was an extension of his love of the open sea.

REW BE ME
PEBA
TEASER DOCUMENTAIRE
Ne Penser À Rien, La Récré
The Parisian duo is back to the old school for their new long awaited EP.
Émile Sornin, keyboardist known for releasing several albums on
Born Bad Records or The Sound Of Salvation with his “baroque rock” alias
Forever Pavot, met Cédric Laban, the drummer from Isaac Delusion, Halo
Maud and Forever Pavot, 15 years ago during an Iron Maiden concert at
Paris Bercy.
This encounter gave birth to La Récré, with a first self-titled EP
released on BMM Records in April ‘19. Blowing a fresh wind over the French
jazz scene, this EP delivered a hybrid and laid back jazz, halfway through
tradition and modernity.
Since June, La Récré have been teasing their new EP, with two
singles, L’An 2000 and Banger, recorded in Paris at Mastoïd Studios. These
two tracks contain sonorities that the two artists qualify as “punk-jazz”, as
their composition process is more “messy and trashy” than other jazz
musicians.
On October 2nd, La Récré will release Ne Penser À Rien, an
invitation to meditate, skillfully mixing Rhodes and Moog keyboards over
hip hop influenced rhythms. The artwork, videos and samples from 60’s
interviews help the duo build their “frenchie old school” aesthetic, already
felt on their first EP.
This release’s big surprise is the japanese hip hop track “Onegai”
with Genshu Fukaya, Tokyo-based rapper, producer and half of Ghost In
The Tapes. Condemning Tokyo’s dystopia and racism among the japanese
society, Onegai will be released at the same time as the EP, on October
2nd, along with a stunning chalk on blackboard stop-motion video.

Immanent Fire, Emily Jane White
For more than 10 years, Emily Jane White has accompanied us with her enchanting song, and with it the delicacy of her woody folk melodies. Less is known about her social and political involvement. Immanent Fire, her 6th opus (released on November 15), makes an alarming observation: biological annihilation, acceleration of extinction of species, social and economic disorders. The themes are dark, but a new serenity emerges from this album anchored in our time and which will be a landmark. 3 dates in December: 5 Le Botanique (Brussels), 11 Le Grand Mix (Tourcoing) and 12 Les Etoiles (Paris). Listen to Immanent Fire on agnès b. radio on November 15 at 11am!

Listen to One Blood Circle, first single from the original soundtrack of Le Bel Été, movie by Pierre Créton, release in theatres on November 13, directed by The Limiñanas with Étienne Daho, available on November 15th in vinyl and digital, with 11 tracks composed by The Limiñanas, already available in pre-order.
Satis Factory, Mattiel
Following encouragement from Jack White during a chance encounter in Nashville with her chief musical inspiration and eventual touring partner, Mattiel made the crucial decision to jumpstart her musical journey with songs rooted in gospel, rock n’ soul, hip-hop and new wave. Less than five years later Mattiel stands as one of the most singular and buzzed-about acts in rock music. Her new album Satis Factory, the follow up to last years critically acclaimed self titled debut is out now on Heavenly Recordings/PIAS

Sergeï, Lucie Antunes
With Sergeï, Lucie Antunes comes to explode the standards with big blows of chopsticks on the blades of her marimba, her vibraphone, the skins stretched of her battery. Sergeï is the furious project of a young percussionist who made her weapons in a rather classical way and whose horizon does not cease to expand with the dancefloor as a line of sight and the clearly expressed will to tell oneself on a disc. Made without computers or artifacts, this instrumental and percussive music is cut for dance and night with the ambition to break boundaries, shake genres and make the dancefloor more beautiful, softer, bigger, smarter and more open. Lucie’s music is not closed to anyone. Behind each of the tracks that compose his album hides a story, something that has been felt and lived in silence and that comes to explode without shadow. She is there, powerful and sensitive, personal and intense. Released on October 4th.
Providence, Shannon Wright
Shannon Wright is back and releases her new album, Providence, an album played entirely on the piano, instrument for the first time invested as a unique ally to her voice. It is without any other protection and in the form of poems that Shannon Wright declares with all the emotional power that we know a collection of very touching and personal stories.
Shannon Wright’s music provokes a raw and overwhelming emotion. It transports you, invades you and drowns you, but always saves you. It is a journey into a melancholy and restless world, often desperate but terribly vivacious. Shannon Wright’s music is an auditory antioxidant, a benefactor upheaval, an indispensable cure.
Listen in full Friday 20 September at 2pm on the agnès b. radio.
