Lingering Echoes, “Perdues”

Release date: February 25th, 2022
Format: CD

French musical legend Yan Arexis returns with the beautifully executed minimalist electronic foray, “Perdues” by Lingering Echoes. Arexis’s contributions to the French black metal scene with Sus Scrofa, and experimental music scene with IHAN date back to the late 80’s, and his current projects Stille Volk, Coume Ouarnede , Faction Senestre, and his impeccable curation of the L’homme Sauvage Festival, continue to remain vital and daring contributions in their respective genres. “Perdues” by Lingering Echoes offers a cold and desolate landscape of minimalist electronics mixed with electro acoustic experimentation. Beautiful and fragile… Hopeless and bleak.

LINGERING ECHOES is the most recent incarnation of Yan Arexis’s IHAN project created in 2000, utilizing electroacoustic music combined with minimal electronics. IHAN was fortunate to publish its first album with the mythical label Milleplateaux Records (Gas, Pole, Alva Noto, Alec Empire, Thomas Köner, Oval) and is also featured on the compilation Clicks & Cuts n°1 – an album credited for revolutionizing electronic music.

“Perdues” by Lingering Echoes mixes field recordings captured during winter walks in the Pyrenean forest with the sounds of flat stones and plants treated as electronic micropercussions to create a deep and telluric soundscape. Grandiose sweeping sonic washes are juxtaposed with recordings of the smallest of sounds, creating a mesmerizing liminal space where time and place are suspended. Uncertain and erratic layers paint lonely winter landscapes and emanations of brittle ice cracking. An unheard echo in space and time. Served by the magnificent photos of Julie Docteur taken in Iceland and Jeanne Saint-Julien taken in the Pyrenees, “Perdues” is a journey both serene and fragile. For fans of Pan Sonic, Labradford, DeathProd, Common Eider King Eider, Lull.

CD edition of 100. Triple gatefold eco-wallet. 8-page booklet.
