L EMPIRE DES SONS

Description

Released in 1986 and now cult in certain circles, L''Empire Des Sons resurfaces today thanks to Glossy Mistakes.Born from the meeting between percussionist and composer Dominique Lentin (Dagon, Fille Qui Mousse) and singer Bipé Redon, the project is part of the thriving DIY spirit of the 1980s in Saint-Étienne. From this duo emerged a singular work that blurs the boundaries between lo-fi synth pop, experimental folk, and avant-garde textures.Marimbas, xylophones, ethnic percussion, and synthesizers envelop Bipé''s fragmented and poetic lyrics, creating a sonic universe that is at once intimate, theatrical, and elusive. Playful and radically independent, the album stands as a free and visionary exploration, ahead of its time.A forgotten gem of the French underground.
