I’am pleased to announce that my album La fille verte is now distribute by the Brighton based Netlabel Open. Launched in September 2008, Open is an open source music label run by musicians.
« Syl Kougaï is a very patient man. I have had this release in my pocket for about a year, while the beginnings of Open Music was emerging. Delays and mis-speaking meant that La Fille Verte remained unreleased, for no good reason and that was just fine with him. He must be a patient man to piece together an album like what we have here. This release is like one of those patchwork quilts your Nan would have kept in the back of a cupboard; cut together from random little pieces, it looks a little ugly in parts. You recognise little squares here and there but over all it’s a bit of a mess. Then you wrap it over you and it feels amazing. La Voix de L’Empereur, the second track is a series of concentric circles. Right in the middle is the super funky (yes, that’s right… funky) guitar lick, wrapped in a super compressed dubby bass, wrapped in some vacant folk vocalisations, further wrapped in some white wash machine noise warmth. R.Daneel is reminiscent of the Rephlex acid releases, but with a more frenetic and softly aggressive approach. In other words, much much better. And this is how it continues throughout the whole release – Little pieces of sounds you love and recognise from somewhere, shouldered out of the way by sounds you’ve never heard and it all feels right. »
