FABIENNE DELSOL – ON MY MIND

Fabienne Delsol returns with her 3rd solo album, a follow up to 2007's “Between You And Me.” “On My Mind” features Fabienne's customary mixture of both English and French lyrics sung with plenty of coquettish charm. With songs and production so authentically 60's they could have been taken from tapes gathering dust in Serge Gainsbourg's garage for the last 40 years. There's a definite autumnal feel to several of the tracks, putting you in mind of what the much mooted Francoise Hardy/Nick Drake collaboration might have yielded.

FLYING LOTUS – PATTERN+GRID WORLD EP

As postmodernist space odysseys go, Flying Lotus’ “Cosmogramma” has confidently weaved itself into the lineage of Sun Ra and his Astro Infinity Arkestra’s “Strange Strings”, Nicolas Roeg’s “The Man Who Fell To Earth” and Afrika Bambaata’s “Planet Rock”…While “Cosmogramma” is a monolithic convergence of 20th and 21st century musical forms, high in concept and wide in musical collaboration,“Pattern+Grid World” pulls the focus back to Steven Ellison and his machines. It’s a synthetic counterpart to the grand string and harp arrangements of “Cosmogramma”.

Minino, formerly of New Mexican Disaster Squad joins the guys in the studio for the first time and their hiatus has only served to heighten the anticipation of what’s sure to be yet another expectation-defying-yet-still-totally-ass-kickingly-rocking record.
