F/LOR back with reissue LP of ‘Edges’, June 19, 2026.

We are thrilled to announce the reissue on June 19, 2026, as an ultra-limited edition LP & digital, of Edges by F/LOR. Bandcamp
With Edges, F/LOR delivers a 40-minute immersive electronic work, recorded in a rapid, almost live approach using a minimal analog setup. In constant evolution, the album unfolds as a continuous sonic flow, moving between hypnotic drones, shifting textures, and airy melodies.
In a spirit akin to Boards of Canada or Autechre, F/LOR crafts music that is both demanding and accessible, where experimental tension is balanced by an unexpected warmth.
Edges explores notions of threshold, transformation, and transition, offering a dense, fluid, and deeply evocative sonic experience.
Behind F/LOR is Fabrice Laureau, a French musician and producer with a rich career, notably as a member of NLF3 and Prohibition, and a collaborator with artists such as The Dirty Three and Françoiz Breut.

F/LOR live @ Les Relais Solidaires, Pantin, 26 June 2026.

Julien Gasc : new single at the end of this week

Julien Gasc will unveil “Je t’aime bel et bien” this Friday, May 15, 2026, the second single from his upcoming album Perles, coraux & requins, due out on June 5, 2026 via Prohibited Records / Kuroneko.

Recorded in Berlin by Anton Newcombe (The Brian Jonestown Massacre), the album marks the return of Julien Gasc’s elegant and literary avant-pop, sung in the language of Prévert. The record also features contributions from Tim Gane (Stereolab) and Leo Blomov.

After answering the call of the forest and that of his “mountain ancestors,” Julien Gasc now puts on mask and snorkel for an underwater expedition — a romantic introspection. The storm is raging above, but deep beneath the ocean, he has found peace again.

About “Je t’aime bel et bien,” Julien Gasc explains:
“Anton Newcombe asked me at 10 in the morning if I had a song ready.
I replied: ‘Give me a moment, I’ll come up with a track for you.’
I went to the coffee shop to grab a coffee, have a bite to eat, and write the lyrics.
Then I went back to the studio, sat down at the piano… and it came out very quickly.
I wrote the song in thirty minutes.

It’s a song about friendship and filial love.
When I say ‘my face,’ it refers to the Brazilian expression ‘meu cara,’ which means ‘my buddy.’”

Live on June 5 at Le Chinois in Montreuil,
with Dorian Pimpernel and Boris Maurussane.

30.05.2026: Tarnac (FR)

Shane Aspegren is back with a new long format EP : “Spiritual Cannibalism”

On Spiritual Cannibalism, Shane Aspegren descends—literally and metaphorically—into submerged territory. The three-part long-form EP is anchored by Resonant Harbour, a 12-minute composition originally commissioned for a project of the same name and partially built from processed underwater field recordings captured in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour, historically known as the “Fragrant Harbour.” These hydrophone recordings—dense with tidal movement, industrial hum, and unseen propulsion—form the elemental source material for the entire release.
