NEW ALBUM "YES OR NO" OUT ON JUNE 16 IN THE USA

This collection of yelps and piquant guitar strums heralds the arrival of New World freak folk on The Continent. A surprisingly sparse document of Virot's fragile mentality the clapping , campfire myth is stoked for the millionth time. How is it that a person and an acoustic guitar can create such magic? Modest but not at all mousy, the breathy vocals in the left channel collide with warbled squeals doubling in the right side. Modern spookiness with one man sounding like Frank Black and Brian Wilson singing a duet , reminding that folk music is rooted in harmony and dissonance, beauty and death, yes and no. (frenetic records)
