ET SANS  Par noussss touss les trous de vos cr�nes!  CD   (Alien8)   8.98


The Montreal all-star quintet of ET SANS (Roger T. Craig of Le Fly Pan Am, Alexander St-Onge of Shalabi Effect, Felix Morel of Le Fly Pan Am, Sophie Trudeau of Godspeed You! Black Emporer and A Silver Mt. Zion, and Stephen De Oliveira) follows up their debut on Locust with this seamless intertwining of avant-psychedelic-pop with noise, minimal post-industrial electronics, and 70's kraut rock influences. These four untitled songs swirl from gentle, whispered vocals blending with cut-up/spliced tape edits and electronic drone, to the Suicide-meets-Xenakis electronic crackle and chaos of the second track, to the beautiful, cinematic, ultra lush pulse, tactile whispered vocals, and harp-like strum-chirp of the third track, and closing with the stunning fourth song that spikes splintered electronics and spliced vocals with motorik rhythms. Sweet. This is some extremely out-there, yet amazingly easy on the ears avant pop that we can't recommend highly enough, ESPECIALLY to any of you who can't get enough of the amazing stuff coming out of the Montreal experimental indie scene. This album is sooo beautiful. Packaged in a vividly illustrated gatefold package.
