*100 copies limited edition. 2025 stock* Stéréogramme returns with the second opus of his “Interactive Pictures” series. Walking the same road as last year, paved with new age, freak folk and leftfield synths, the Paris-based label also ventures to new paths like minimalism, no wave and vocal experimentations. Once again divided in two musical panoramas, this 11-track tape will definitely bring back your happy childhood memories to the surface. First, take a nap with the soothing lullabies of Héron Cendré, Peter Graf York, Les Echos Primitifs, Lamina & Bravo Tounky, only to be interrupted by Ronan Riou’s feverish contribution. Then, hear the spooky, harebrained stories of Aymeric de Tapol, Leoni Leoni, Houschyar, Geier aus Stahl, Zad Kokar and Firmaet Forvoksen. In short, another marvelous line-up gathered by head-honcho Rako, who made its specialty of unearthing spontaneous yet skillful compositions.
