about

7" originally released by Luana Records (Switzerland), in 2011.

This 7″ is inspired by the work of William Burroughs, especially his book Naked Lunch. It’s also kind of a tribute to the Beat Poets that travelled to Tangier (like Burroughs, Paul Bowles, Byron Gysin, etc…). There are rather dark moments throughout the song «Black Meat», but never without at least a little sign of light and hope, while «Looking For Dr Benway» contains more confidence regarding what will happen anytime soon with an almost funky bass line. Downtempo storytelling without words.

You could say it’s a meeting of styles, two compositions you probably wouldn’t guess were done by the heads of Héliodrome, or «super limited 7inch of intense instrumental mindfuck. Welcome to the Interzone».

REVIEW

"Montreal quartet with an instrumental single in praise of William Burroughs and the Tangiers lifestyle in general. What results is psych-spattered neo-dreamy avant rock with Morrocan overtones." - Byron Coley, Wire.
