can nights render us subaltern, rise to what no one remembers - waiting for the coup de foudre or grâce...

Aliya commented that she wanted some Benoît Pioulard, we struck a deal, and now i have to do my part... which isnt really that much of a labour as i have been wanting to make a mix of his (google him if you want to find out more about the enigmatic portland via michigan artists) stuff for some time... i've been a big fan of his tangled lyrics and railway track strumming since the album precis (triggering back is one of my favourite all time songs), and really hope to get a chance to see one of the few shows a year he plays sometimes... anyway, his music is like drifting through the city at night - a dérive - ambling through through the atmosphere, a movement through space, encountering ambiance in the archetecture of the everyday...

Also if anyone has the 'Lee 7"' ripped, the B-side (alaska lashes) for the 'Flock ep', or the 'Songs Spun Simla' album with Praveen I would apreciate a link...
I also have the 'Dakota/House ep' and 'Rain in May's...' mixtape if anyone wants it upped... more drone and ambient stuff than that above...

All images are polaroid by Benoît Pioulard , go to his website ( http://pioulard.com/ ) and check them out and by his albums, they are well worth it...
