Hyperboréen
With Hyperboréen, we set sail for a dreamy, fantastical North, where the cold and the distant call for contemplation. Six other musicians accompany us on this journey. This strong atmosphere of mental and literary images resonated with the recording - isolated in the heart of the Puisaye countryside - of the six tracks on the album. The sounds of the instruments are deconstructed and reassembled in a process akin to electroacoustic editing, while they are joined by sounds from elsewhere, produce…
You're Beautiful
*100 copies limited edition* 'You're Beautiful' is the fantastical album of Berlin-based artist Laurén Maria. Part singer-songwriter ballads, part experimental collages, part poignant distortion-laden anthems, the album is like a journey of strange encounters in a mysterious woodland. Maria's mystical voice is our companion on this adventure, sometimes vulnerable, front and centre, at other times heavily processed and part of the fabric of the forest. On songs like "Zephyr" featuring Ludwig Wand…
Unusual Suggestions
Tip! *150 copies limited edition* L'eau des fleurs is happy to release this impressive homemade Gesamtskuntwerk by Finnish artist Jani Hirvonen.

Long Courrier
Few lovers stay together for life-and beyond. Just as rare are the artists who manage to keep alive the burning flame of their creative desire. Areski Belkacem is one of those who nurtures in his heart a fire that never dies out, a passion that burns just as intensely for music as it does for his beloved. As long as the message eventually reaches its intended recipient, he cares little for how long the journey takes.
His new album, Long Courrier, is proof of this: twelve unreleased songs that …

Sensational Conversations
Bruno Tonisi's debut full-length, Sensational Conversations, presents itself as an artifact of impossible communication - a spectral dialogue between the Italian artist and legendary New York rapper Sensational that unfolds like an intercepted transmission from some parallel dimension. Released on lugar Alto, this singular work transforms what began as a gesture of contact into something far more enigmatic: a deconstructed hip-hop meditation that feels equal parts cosmic and street-level.
The al…
mathematical model 0010
*300 copies limited edition* Drawing from field recordings collected during a trip to Japan, boring tables saturates sonic vignettes in sentimental key, replaying familiar traces of lived experience into something more abstract. The seven tracks on mathematical model 0010, Luca Quartarone's debut album, trail through evolving tonal expanses that envelop the environment in a perpetually expanding haze of serenity. Though sonic fragments hail from the everyday, the compositions themselves inevitab…

Sucker (Expanded & Remastered)
Born at the end of 1984, Gerstein moved between filmic experimentalism and piano sonatas with background noise elements.In 1989, after the release of the cassette La Pomata Delle Femmine, the project seemed to have reached its end.

In 1991/92, the first embryonic versions of the tracks that would later ap…
