Langue Hybride comes out on April 18, the latest album from thisquietarmy (Eric Quach), out on A Thousand Arms (US) and Consouling Sounds (elsewhere).

The band, celebrating its twentieth anniversary, marked its history by booking a full-band set for Dunk! Festival.

"The goal of the residency was to perform one hour of music ready to be played live, recorded and filmed in front of an audience, which meant I had to write new music from scratch from the first day there, with people I've never met nor played with before.” –Quach says. "It was really a full year or two of work, condensed in a month.”.

Trackslist:

1. Les rayons cosmiques
2. Respirer l'instabilité
3. Les radicaux libres
4. Organismes en aérobiose
5. Solastalgie impalpable

Resurgence
Denovali (2012)

Existing purely on the periphery of my personal aural hemisphere due to their touring with and collaborating with several artists and bands that I avidly follow but never getting around to actually listening to their records, Thisquietarmy has eluded my attentions for far too long and Resurgence seemed like the perfect opportunity to check out this prolific artist; but maybe … Read more
