June 2023

The next release from our small (but strong) label Dangerhouse Skylab is imminent, and should land in stores in a few days' time.... We're delighted to be collaborating with our friends at Family Spree Recordings (Spain) to release this debut album from the Segments, a Lyon-based band featuring members of Horsebites, Hi Lites, Flashfalcon, X Ray Vision, Cavemen V, Buttshakers, Inner Beats... Smiling Faces, 12 original tracks recorded by Bruno Germain, top-flight vinyl mastering by Daniel Husayn (North London Bomb Factory), artwork by Paslacalifornie, for a fine achievement of power pop with an indie rock twist, harmonies, class and addictive stuff you'd love to hear on the radio... DSL 079, 300 copies, out late May/early June.

And since we've decided to armour our schedules, we didn't hesitate for a moment to materialise the debut album from Parisians of Technicolor Noir.... Formed by members of Wave Chargers, Karovas Milkshakes, Guillotines and ex Scope, the Tribe and Bang., the band have recorded 12 psych/pop tracks, all originals, that might remind you of Blues Magoos from Electric Comic Book or Hooterville Trolley, Electric Flag and other glorious elders, without losing sight of a truly modern and engaging personality...
