Fire! Feuer ! 4:14 8 Cerf-Volant 4:51 Ulan Bator's debut album from 1995 finally on vinyl. On this first album, they were and are still struck by the onslaught of a real steamroller imposing its sound mass, a mass in permanent movement, totally unstable, sometimes close to madness as chaos. Alternating passages in complete tension with moments insidiously contemplative, it is difficult, even nowadays, to fully grasp this strange and ultimately elusive object. This first album is still a dangerous disc not to put in all hands.

Goz Of Kermeur, active between 1991-2000, was a trio featuring Andrea Valvini (drums), Yves Charmillot (guitar) and Adrien Kessler (doublebass/voice). According to Kessler, "Goz of Kermeur was explosive, intimate, dangerous, sweet and violent, powerful and fragile, full of humor but completely naive." Limited edition of 300 hand stamped and hand-numbered copies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 4 A SHAPE INLANDS LP 05.2017 1 Extreme Unction 04:11 2 Love Mantra 06:01 3 Magnetic Sun 02:38 4 Metabolism 04:23 5 Furtive Spirals 04:47 6 I can't sleep 06:07 7 Dog Michel 06:52 8 008 05:32 9 Ation 04:33 10 Decade 06:49 A Shape features guitarist Eric Pasquiet, vocalist Sasha Andras (Heliogabale), bassist Mathieu Le Gouge, as well as drummer Anthony Serina. This album was recorded in 2016 by audio engineer Johanne Buff and mixed by Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo. Playing a brooding style of post-punk that might recall an '80s-era noise rock band like Ranaldo's, A Shape puts their own idiosyncratic spin on the genre through an impassioned appraisal of its methodology. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 5 ROSE MERCIE ROSE MERCIE LP 03.2018 A1 Floating 4:28 A2 Les Glycines 3:22 A3 Moyen-Âge 5:12 A4 Spring And Fall 5:42 B5 How Can I Talk 4:21 B6 The End Of Love 4:31 B7 In The Valley 4:50 B8 Raindrops 5:10 (Note : LP , 500 hand-numb. copies) The debut LP from the excellent French quartet Rose Mercie. Landing somewhere between The Shangri-Las, Raincoats, Rosa Yemen, Sleater-Kinney, Josephine Foster or Marianne Faithfull, the sound of Rose Mercie subtly integrates many influences. Active since 2013, Rose Mercie is finally releasing its first album now in 2018. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 6 DAGGER MOTH+PHILIPPE PETIT : OVARIES 12" 05.2018 A1 Ovaries 4:42 A2 Ovaries RMX 4:44 (Note : 12"/33.3 RPM , 300 copies) On 'Ovaries' Sara Ardizzoni ensures the singing, disturbing and silky, while saxophonist Arnaud Fournier propels the piece in an elsewhere that is located quite badly. Is it jazz? Pop? Ambience? Or something else. Dagger Moth is a project that does not admit a beginning or an end. Their developments are generally worn on the guitar but also fertilized by electronics (incredible work here by Philippe Petit), fuzz effects and noisy reinforcements. 'Ovaries' has the air of Blonde Redhead, mixed with gothic and trip-hop sounds, all in a classic jazz setting, which makes it a daring success and full of secrets to break through. Sara Ardizzoni: guitar, vocals, synth, effects, lyrics, Philippe Petit: kazooed-voices, throat, screams, electronics, organ Arnaud Fournier: saxophone. An earlier version of 'Ovaries' originally appeared on the solo album of Dagger Moth, 'Silk Around The Marrow' (2016). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 7 WORK COMPILATION LP 08.2018 SIDE 1: 1. Fingers And Toes (I Hate America 7", 1981) 2. I Hate America (I Hate America 7", 1981) 3. Brickyard (Slow Crimes LP, 1982) 4. State-Room (Slow Crime LP, 1982) 5.

Read To Me (The 4th World CD, 2010, rec. 1994) 6. Stone (Rubber Cage LP, 1990) (Note : LP , 400 hand-numb. copies) The Work features Tim Hodgkinson (Henry Cow, God), Bill Gilonis (Hat Shoes, Officer!), Mick Hobbs (Strobe Talbot, Officer!) and Rick Wilson (Family Fodder). This compilation covers a large period from 1981 to 2010. 11 tracks mastered by Noel Summerville and selected by the members of the band. They propose a plural look on their music : revealing both its experimental, radical and deviant approach of rock, as well as more melodic aspect. "It was that time of the century: punk had seen prog off the premises and the New Wave had clambered over their exhausted bodies to claim the citadel for itself. The genius of the New Wave was that it didn't represent any particular musical idea; it was just a name, so anything could fly under its banner - as long as it observed the accepted musical, attitudinal and sartorial conventions. Poorly disguised hangovers from prog, jazz or metal would be rooted out but, in the newly polymorphous cultural climate, rebranding -if honest- would not be punished; indeed, everyone was at it. And the prize was a novel and reinvigorated aesthetic. " ~Chris Cutler. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 8 ENFANCE SAUVAGE : NOS PAUPIERES RACORNIES, NOS CHEVEUX LP 03.2018 A1 Train Fantôme A2 Austérité A3 Ma Jambe -suivi de 'Jambe Fidele' A4 Tomber A5 Attaché A6 Vraiment Tout Pres B1 Fille B2 On Descend B3 Tetes Jivaros B4 Croix B5 Un Peu Plus Loin B6 Morceaux De Pain Second album by French, punk, post-punk band. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 9 PETRA PIED DE BICHE RAGE DE RAISON LP 10.2018 2018 album by one woman electronic band Petra Pied de Biche. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 10 LADYBOY ROSE CALAMINE LP 11.2018 LadyBoy is led by the musician Olivier Hazemann, and on the record he's joined by guitarist Seb Martel, drummer Toma Milteau, bassist Antoine Pozzo, piano/organ player Or Solomon, ondist Thomas Bloch, and vocalist Jeanne-Sarah Deledisq, with Hazemann adding keyboard, programming, guitar, and vocals to the recording. Together, the group weaves spellbinding atmospheres that effortlessly move between acoustic and electronic genres while showcasing Hazemann's vocal gift for inhabiting each song with poetic conviction and French style. While LadyBoy's 2015 self-titled LP out on the indie label Microcultures found the band following a more acoustic-driven, chamber-pop approach, 'Rose Calamine' builds on that blueprint by adding electronic elements via keyboard, sequencer, and Thomas Bloch's Ondes Martenot. The band's ability to blend these varied paths makes for an album full of mysterious surprises, while Hazemann's vocal performance smolders with an unforgettable dramatic intimacy. Limited edition of 200 copies with Jelodanti's trademark hand-stamped acrylic album art to complete the picture. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 11 JEAN-LOUIS COSTES LA VIE TUE LP 04.2019 Usually Jean-Louis Costes plays rather experimental and noise music but for this album he developed a weird pop/R'n'B approach, with a very sensitive touch. It is a limited edition of 500 copies hand made with acrylic stamps (each different). Costes is considered as one of the first punk-DIY French artists, self-releasing dozens of tapes and CDs from the early '80s until today. His discography is surprisingly rich, mixing experimental, spoken word, electronics, sometimes hip-hop or metal, often parodying the French variety-song culture. It consists of sixty or so albums, some recorded in English, German or Japanese. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 12 EUGENE S. ROBINSON & PHILIPPE PETIT:CHAPEL IN THE PINES LP 04.2019 Special hand-made edition on Jelodanti (France), limited to 100 copies. Randomly inserted copies on black, blue or blue with black splatter vinyl. 'Chapel In The Pines' is a collaborative work by Oxbow front man Eugene Robinson and master of sonic architecture Philippe Petit. The album also features Percy Howard on additional vocals and Chris Haskett (Rollins Band) providing guitar work. The five pieces here are built around brooding spoken word, accompanied by a range of electronics, guitars, percussion, piano and metallic sounds molded into suitable backdrops. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 13 ATTIC TED PARADE DUST MISCHIEF LP 04.2019 Attic Ted is an interactive musical performance artist, playing weirdo gothic carnival musical theater, creepy and funny, utilizing cardboard constructed masks, to create a visual experience compounding the quirky bizarro pop music into a surrealist dream. Using an old Hammond Organ for bass and rhythm loops, distorted guitar, Casio twists, clarinet, and strange noises. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 14 V / A WITH LOVE, JELODANTI 2LP 03.2020 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 15 SEC : L'AVENTURE COMPLETE DE GEORGE GALLAMUS 2LP+ 02.2020 Includes the CD version, a surprise CD and 9 cards illustrated by Emilie Route, Leo Dsastre, So Ia, Vincent Fortemps, Leo Thoyer, Anto, Cyril Van Weensberge, A4 putevie and Lor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 16 THINKING PLAGUE MOONSONGS LP 10.2020 (... DIRTY SABOTAGE FROM SWISS JURA) Reissue of 1987 album in handmade gatefold cover, limited to 300 copies. Thinking Plague is a group that has existed since around 1982. Their music has always been difficult to describe in words. Thinking Plague is a group from Colorado exploring the frontiers of rock, folk, jazz and modern symphonic music. Through these explorations, the group created "a genre of music unto itself, eclectically derivative in a bold way and spectacularly innovative in the old-fashioned sense of genuine originality" (Andy Watson - Journal Wired Summer/Fall 1990). The music of Thinking Plague combines lyricism with intense and sophisticated rhythmic and harmonic ideas. Their influences span a spectrum from the Beatles and the Byrds to Henry Cow and William Schuman. At times, the sound of Thinking Plague may start to sound like pop or jazz music, and then be stretched or transformed the next moment into new territories that often defy categorization. The songs have often been compared to modern film music (with vocals), and may sound like journeys through an inner world. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 21 OFFICER! PARAGRAPHS AND PRINCIPLES 2LP 12.2021 Officer! is Mick Hobbs, Felix Fiedorowicz and Bill Gilonis alongside a stunning line-up of 30 performers from 8 countries. No one knows quite how this project came about - it's almost an international conspiracy, and certainly a closely guarded secret. We hope only that upon their unleashing, these fierce new sounds may be heard by as many ears as possible. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 22 ROSE MERCIE KIERES AGUA? LP 04.2022 Rose Mercie has existed since 2013. More than a fictional female personality, we can say that it is a rock band with multiple influences or a team of witches who make a very personal trance based on improvisation and who exchange ideas, instruments according to their desires. Their first album, recorded in their friends' living room in Villejuif by Cyril Harrison, was released in 2018. In September 2020, the second was recorded, still with Cyril but in the studio this time. The third album symbolizes what they have become through concerts and years of complicity with simple and essential musical ingredients. Fruit of wanderings and discoveries between Montreuil, Portel-des-Corbieres and Mexico City, this opus is called '?Kieres Agua?' and it is released as an international co-production with Jelodanti Records (Paris) and Celluloid Lunch (Montreal). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JELO 23 ADOLF HIBOU PRINCESS BARELY LEGAL LP 02.2022 A tasty mix of noise rock and punk mixed with a Boredoms sauce and Mr. Bungle with a light touch of technical grind. Adolf Hibou releases a completely crazy album, between alternative metal, unhealthy stoner and virile math rock. There are crazy influences, going as far as Mike Patton's Fantômas, Electric Wizard, Primus or System Of A Down. Served by quality production. 12 completely insane tracks performed with genius, an enjoyable surprise for 2022. Adolf Hibou works just as well and if we jump with both feet and happily into their big epileptic and sticky bath it's because it really plays, the band borrowing from grind, hardcore, doom, noise, math-rock, prog, even Ludwig Van Beethoven and what not. Co-release by Jelodanti, Le Mat Edition and the Head label. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================================= All notes taken from : www.shinybeast.nl
