About Me

angil + hiddntracks

28-year old Mickaël started playing the piano and organ at the age of six, and formed his first band when he was 16. Which is how he could write the parts of most arrangements in Teaser for: matter (cello, Rhodes...) and play the rest (drums, guitars). Teaser for: matter has tinges of Britains late 1960s Canterbury sound (early Soft Machine) meeting the blurry depths of folky Americana (Morphine, Low), with occasional nods to abstract hip hop (Why?). Or as French music bible Les Inrockuptibles sees it, folk becomes a dangerous music again, playing without a net in a phantasmagoric universe.

Angil & the Hiddentracks recorded in July 2006 their new e-less album (untitled "Oulipo Saliva"). Out on We Are Unique Records in May 2007 in France, it can be ordered from www.cd1d.com.

Also, check out Angil and Broadway's collaboration as the John Venture (We Are Unique Records / 6am)
