Andre - Gymnasieåren LPDebut album from 18 year old Discreet Music hangaround Andre. Home recorded brilliance mainly based on guitar and occasional synthesizers with a sparse use of environmental recordings. The A side was recorded in September and October 2022 and is a majestic collage of introspective bummed out music with gloomy drones and almost sacral sounding segments, in atmosphere close to some of the more melancholic chunks of the past FFFM discography. Recorded in

as it was performed January 27

The Works is a slowly developing piece where space and ambient tape are eventually overtaken by raga-esque chanting and frenetic piano playing

the longstanding solo project of Nathaniel Davis who was last seen on vinyl in the final Blackest Ever Black release

After his LP debut 'Belastning' on Förlag För Fri Musik (FFFM) last year

this record continues the deconstruction of assumptions around the idea of a music group or "band" to descend further into rough shards of notes and ideas

sparkly melodies and charming instrumental arrangements

The 8 songs on the album resemble childhood memories

but most certainly one of the many versions they've always been

Etienne Brunet and Marc Dufourd would improvise regularly
