FRANCE - VINYL DO DEN HAAG CHURCH [VINYL]

Popis - DO DEN HAAG CHURCH [VINYL]:
Originally recorded live in Den Haag in 2014 and released on CD-r, this has seen the light of the day and flames of the night on several vinyl reissues. Always gone too soon. And this is one of them. Maybe not the last one. Reason is simple. This recording is simply the cornerstone of European (mid tempo) medieval tribal rock (or kraut rock, if we must). This recording is by French trio called France. They consist of hurdy gurdy player Yann Gourdon, bass player Jérémie Sauvage (of Standard In-Fi Records) and drummer Mathieu Tilly. Their music has the same approach as the band Faust showed (or were navigated towards) when playing with Tony Conrad in 1972. The story goes, that when Conrad entered the jam space, he gave Faust one instruction only: "Pick a key, keep the same tempo, make no changes and stick with it for an hour or more." Now look at this band, France. They do the same - but for 12 years already. Started in 2005 in city of Valence, not too far from Lyon or the French Alps, surrounded by miles of countryside. Perhaps that's one of the reasons their sound is so rural, very unmodern, using some ways that were set in stone by German and British psychedelic rock, but decided to speak with uncommon language (hurdy gurdy), which might not be understood by many, but we grant if you will try to understand, you will soon be addict and slave to its sound. France is the sound of long forgotten voids from the past. This edition of 'Do Den Haag Church' is released in an edition of 550 as a collaboration of Standard In-Fi, Mental Groove and Stoned To Death Records.
