Oiseaux-Tempete

The new album from French alternative band Oiseaux Tempête is surprisingly accessible. Long, steadily building, sometimes collapsing, sometimes quietly fading pieces are a feast for friends of psychedelic, kraut and post-rock.

Synthetic brass meets hammered rhythms, electric strings meet crashing electronics, saxophone screams and laughter meet a pulsating and seminal bass.
