Doubtful Sounds

Les Français sont les ennemis du Pacifique
In February 2020, during one of his trips to New Zealand, Thierry Monnier (1972 - 2022) recorded a session with Bruce Russell, the Dead C's guitarist of whom he was a big fan. We decided with his agreement to do everything we could to release this record on vinyl. This record is co-produced by Doubtful Sounds, Dysmusie and Up Against The Wall, Motherfuckers! With the support of Corticalart.
Des Lumières, Des Ombres, Des Figures
*2022 Stock. In process of stocking. Limited edition of 300 copies.* Sun Stabbed is a guitar duo formed at Grenoble in 2005. “Des lumières, desombres, des figures” is the first LP of the band resulted from the first privatesession that has been recorded. This session happened in Le 102’s basement, the 11th February 2009. The editing / mixing / reworking has been done in 2010 after forgetting a littlebit what was recorded. The music is maybe the most varied disc of the band so far, with some clas…
Loose Connection
*Limited edition of 100 copies. Includes 2 postcards.* Work from this French guitarist has been reviewed before, primarily his work with Sun Stabbed and the, quite frankly brilliant named La Morte Young, but also a solo release (Vital Weekly 1095). The previous one was primarily electronic, but he solely uses an electric guitar for this new one. "This LP present tracks recorded at home for the neighbourhood pleasure during lockdown", and unfortunately, no reactions from the said neighbourhood we…
La Morte Young
* Limited Edition of 200 hand-numbered copies * Exit the haunted by the desolation latent drones of their previous productions: guitars and electronics in the red, screamed voice in walls of hyper-free noise, La Morte Young piles up the abrasive strata and breaks all the dikes with anger, offering an atomized vision of rock, as a reprise of the beginning in a primitive and violent version, only for the duration of a stunning 7’’. Philippe Robert
In Girum Imus Nocte Et Consumimur Igni
This LP shows the band doing their improv feedback guitar drone in a more precise way than before. Of course it’s still related to NZ music : Surface of the Earth, The Dead C and all guitars projects from there, but also to guitar noise minimalism from the USA, Glen Branca, Tony Conrad et.al. but also salutes the godmother of French experimental music Eliane Radigue.
Le Monde Supérieur
* Limited to 200 copies. Includes 2 postcards.*  Fusiller is the solo moniker of Jo head of the Tanzprocesz label. He's also half of Opéra Mort (with Èlg), half of Femme (with Arno Bruil) and a third of Reine d'Angleterre (with Èlg and Ghédalia Tazartès). For Le Monde Supérieur Fusiller creates music with crafted electronic instruments of his own design and build. His work is chirurgical, precise with everything under control. Nothing is unnecessary. From some underground world, I hear a debate …
Disillusion
Yong Yandsen is a musician from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He is member SiCKL (formerly the  EMACM), a collective promoting avant-garde and experimental music and expressions in Malaysia. Some may know his name from the Shang compilation, released on Xing-Wu, with two other artists from Malaysia. Yandsen did compose a piece for guitar, which was his first intrument that he dropped in favor of  tenor saxophone some years ago. With his tenor you can hear him on various recordings from the band Klangm…
Offset

Schlim
* 300 copies * Schlim (slime in alsatian dialect) Micro_penis’ third lp released by Doubtful Sounds, is the final instalment of a trilogy. This record is made from rare recording sessions, stretching in time from 2011 until 2015 at the N.E.M. Studio (Noise Ensemble of Mulhouse) located in the Mer Rouge building, Mulhouse, France. The name of the game, collectively agreed on, was that no band member could be chemically restrained. For a psychotic can only ever be himself freed from one’s treatmen…
A Quiet - Earthquake Style
For fans of Sunn O))), the Dead C and François Bayle. Doubtful Sounds deliver another great piece of drone/noise/bliss. Few remaining copies of this limited edition LP
Mariachi
Absolutely stunning solo electric guitar improvisation captured in the moment of pure focussed solo improvisation. If you were to buy one solo guitar album year make it this one.
Temps Espace
Temps Espace consists of two pieces of DIY “musique concrète”. DIY because it was made outside of any academecism and done with the equipment that I owned at the time of the recordings, appropriate or not.  Two tracks Inter…, in-between : one composition, intermezzo, was done 14 years ago and the other one, interfluve, 2 years ago. The connection between those tracks is the original sound material which was recorded at about the same time (early 2000s). Time and/or space are the central in the t…

France Sauvage is a quartet with Johann Mazé, Manuel Duval, Simon Poligné and Arno Bruil playing with sax, computer, drums, voice, keyboards, records… Really nice work mixing idea from musique concrete, diy, impro, songs… Coproduction with Tomaturj, Agraph’ Prod, Fougère, Doubtful Sounds, Fruqueupruk, Les Potagers Natures, KdB and Attila Tralala.
s/t
Two different live cuts from 2006 of the guitar duo Sun stabbed. One was recorded in an empty big space, playing for an exhibition at St Etienne. The live was recorded out of the room by Christian Malfray of Nappe, while he was drinking a beer. So the music is made of guitars and ambiant noise with people, animals and cars. An ambiant drony shit track made with guitar feedback and effects. The other selection, was directly taken from the mixing board of the Sonic at Lyon. Here, it was more nervo…
