2009 . 09 . 08 > International Hyper Rythmique – first album "Uncity Nation" digital release on Sept 16th

"Uncity Nation" is International Hyper Rythmique's first album. Released on Sept 16th, this record plays with 1950's urban elegance and defines the lines of a pure, lunar and poetic music where it is enjoyable to lose oneself with no wander.. A little as in a Sofia Coppola's movie, we bounce from frame to frame, glad cosmonaut divided into a phantasmagorical world.

International Hyper Rythmique : post-pop teleportation.

Out on Sept 24th, « Hiding In The Wrong House » is intense and weird from the Norwegian band, Happily Ever After, it's their first studio album release. Between Low, Mark Eitzel and Michael Gira, the band brings an amazing, bright and full-acoustic record where petrified voices, solemn strings and celestial piano progress and interfere. « Hiding In The Wrong House » is the shout of hidden child trapped in adult body, a hazy dream with limpid and dangling emotions. This initial journey tales with fragility and wickedness a world in dire straits where finally, we feel fine.
