Our little (but strong) label is not a little proud of the release that is coming in the next few days... Indeed, we should soon be able to offer you Max Décharné's album New Shade Of Black
imminently... Max has been a hero of ours for a long time, journalist, writer, fellow Nikki Sudden, drummer for Gallon Drunk, singer of the Earls Of Suave and then frontman of the sumptuous Flaming Stars, this album brings together 4-track demos recorded between London and Berlin between 1995 and 2002... These ten demos were used as the basis for the final versions of the Flaming Stars, including two unreleased tracks, and were finished at Ed Deegan's Gizzard Studio... The beautiful cover art is by Mark Rubenstein (Sour Jazz), and this Lp should be available when you read this... DSL 069, 350 copies...
.... Still on our little (but strong) label
Dangerhouse Skylab, we see approaching on the runway the vinyl version of the new album of
Wave Chargers Caravelle
, which should also be available to ambience this summer that looks like it will be hot... Twelve perfect tracks of surf / drag / exotica / rock n' roll, the ideal soundtrack for summer decompression... The first album had been one of the most remarkable records of the French instrumental scene for a long time, and this one sets the bar even higher... 11 originals and a cover of
Bikini Drag
by the
Pyramids, a fine sound thanks to
Melodium Studio, an over the top artwork by
Samy Khan, all this for an Lp availability during July... The three of us got together to bring this future classic to light, thanks to
