Essai 256

Description

On this first opus, entirely self-produced, the Parisian trio Ausgang 256 joyfully offers us pop tracks that we would have melted into experimental tinkering, like sugar in water, drawing openly from bands like Broadcast, Animal Collective, or the composer Sonic Boom. Indeed, the music of these dreamy young electronic musicians slips through our fingers but flows gently within us. Carefully, patiently, meticulously assembled in a small living room in the 18th arrondissement, the first album of these devoted disciples of the Japanese magician Cornelius works like a pointillist painting. From too close, it’s completely abstract. From too far, we lose the flavor and the know-how. But at the right distance, all the details come together like magic.
The ten fragments of the album oscillate between experimental pop, space rock, theremin folk ballads, and other deconstructed melodies. L'Essai 256 will be released on October 21 on Planisphère.
