En 2020, Bingo Club avait fait une entrée remarquable sur la scène avec un premier EP nommé Separated qui aurait mérité un plus grand accueil en y repensant. Mais cela n’empêche pas pour autant le trio parisien de récidiver sur la scène avec leur univers musical absolument dantesque qui est sublimement exprimé sur leur premier long-format événement qui s’intitule Better Lucky Than Beautiful.

Imaginez donc un croisement entre Ariel Pink, Serge Gainsbourg, le Velvet Underground et Mazzy Star. Vous obtiendrez ainsi la musique immersive et ô combien envoûtante de Bingo Club qui nous embarque dès les premières notes de « The Low Land » où les harmonies vocales ont de quoi nous émouvoir tout comme sur « Always The Same Old Song » et « I Do We Do ». La formation menée par Martin Rousselot nous promet un périple musical plus qu’alléchant.

Et ce n’est pas fini car Better Lucky Than Beautiful regorge de moments de pure beauté. Le carnet de voyage musical de Bingo Club promet monts et merveilles avec « Sushi Wang » et « Ginger Brown » ainsi que des moments un brin décalés mais toujours aussi attachants avec « Ma chèvre » et « Foot ». Il n’empêche que Martin Rousselot maîtrise les influences soft-rock et dream-pop psychédélique sur le bout des doigts jusqu’au bout avec « Oh Man » et « Pas de Pbm » afin de faire de ce premier disque une œuvre taillée sur mesure.

Tokyo Riddim 1976​-​1985

The smooth and funky sound of prime-time Japanese reggae pop in the 1970s and ‘80s fired up an obsession with Jamaican music that persists to the present day.If there is a year zero for the introduction of reggae music to Japan, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was 1979 when Bob Marley and the Wailers toured the country, trailed by an entourage of journalists, photographers and fans ready to spread the message of the music into all corners of Japanese society.But the story of Japanese reggae is not a linear one, and the music that is collected on Tokyo Riddim 1976-1985 captures the moment J-reggae entered the broader public consciousness, merging commercial city pop style with an infectious backbeat, that has drawn comparisons with the emergence of Lovers Rock in the UK.

Metoronori

Evenings

An ode to dreams from Tokyo based composer Metoronori. Intimate and singular ambient pop for the coldest days.Originally self-released on cassette in late 2020, the 13-track collection came from an unstable few years for the artist, during which she found solace in the night-time atmosphere of the various Tokyo wards that became her home.With her musical alias a fun play on words meaning 'metro rider', Evenings is a seamless and insular night-time journey from Metoronori, real name Hikari Okuyama. The journey though isn't charting train tunnels and rail tracks, but various dreamscapes, as underpinned by electronics and hints of free jazz. While musical influences are hard to pin down for a sound so singular, Evenings comes with visual inspiration from esteemed masters of cinema. Songs like the title track and "窓辺の顔 (Face at the Window)" evoke the night-time atmospheres of Michelangelo Antonioni and Kiyoshi Kurosawa. "屋根の上より (From the Rooftop)" meanwhile was inspired by the city nightscapes of Fritz Lang. Surrealism and noir bleed through the sounds, making for the visual texture of an out-of-context movie scene, much like part of a dream.

Maston

Tulips (2024 Repress)

Frank Maston’s Tulips is a sample-ready film score to the best 70s movie never made. Originally a super-limited self-release on his Phonoscope label in late 2017, Tulips has already become incredibly sought-after. Be With were introduced to Maston by mutual friends Aquarium Drunkard and it didn’t take long before we decided this modern classic deserved a reissue.Inspired by the deep-grooving soundtracks of Italian cinema - think Morricone, Umiliani and Alessandroni - Maston conceived the entire Tulips project as a continuation of these revered works. Frank designed the artwork and made two 16mm films to accompany the music: “It wasn’t just the LP… it was kind of a whole vibe I was trying to create. Not really trying to emulate the things that influenced me but more trying to make something that could sit alongside those records on a shelf. I’m still very proud of the project.”

I Tirelli

Amore Mandarino

Recorded in the infamous Stone Castle Studio in Carimate (Como) by the two brothers Alberto & Gianni Tirelli, this is the last album recorded before the passing of Alberto. (Gianni is also known for certain Italo Disco masterpieces such as “Magic Dance” by Loui$.) Amore Mandarino is An act of bold and improvised genius, being entirely recorded in one night with little to no preparation. What resulted will be forever immortalized in your record collection with this exploration of exquisite fraternal expression throughout a multitude of genres. “Marzia Non C'E” is a 6 minute long downtempo dreamy soundtrack to the deepest of summer balearic sunrises. “Dimmi Per Chi” an Italian Reggae not-Reggae excursion served with ultra smooth spoken word lyrics. “Un Colpo Al Cuore” channeling nuances of Italian bastard cousin of Dire Straits in captivating danceable rock form. Arrangement and production standards running high, clearly a product of a golden age in Italian studio recording and session musicianship. Can't go wrong. Includes insert with letter from Gianni to Alberto, R.I.P..
