èlg – ‘in coro’ C32
black cassette. limited to 100 copies. artwork by Francesco de Figueiredo. cover printed on Risograph. I felt in love with èlg when i listened to Tout plois, his Lp out on Kraak (and re-issued by S-S Records in the US). Few months later i had èlg at my place, in Rome, for a show at DalVerme:  and after his live set, it was real passion! So, here we are, a year later, releasing his new record on cassette; it’s called In Coro and the receipt is the usual: a weird mix of french pop, drones and cut-ups, psych folk and dreamy experimental; electronics breaking on spare voices out from a nightmare, and rhythms which emerge and then succumb to pseudo ambient dilation; in some moments, listening to it, let me think about Snakefinger in the mood for a chanson français!

A few months later he showed up at my place whilst he was in Rome for a gig at DalVerme, and after hearing his live set that love became a passion! One year later, here we are releasing his new record on cassete. ‘In Coro’ uses the same recipe as before: a weird mix of french pop, drones and cut-up, psyche folk and dreamy experimental sounds; electronics breaking on nightmare-ish voice samples, and rhythms which emerge and then succumb to pseudo ambient dilation. At times listening to it reminded me of Snakefinger in the mood for a chanson francias.
