The Apartments "Seven Songs"
It was recorded live 10 years ago in Paris, for Vincent Théval’s Label Pop program (France Musique). The studio was a huge, high-ceilinged room. A Steinway grand piano, wooden parquet floor, big old microphones. Seven players, knowing they will never be in this room again, will never play these songs the same way. This is all they have, this moment. Years condense into a set.
Originally released for the 2013 Record Store Day, "Seven Songs" is finally back in stock on vinyl (500 units only). Available from our webstore or Bandcamp.

Talitres Holiday Sale : 20 % OFF
Although unsurprising, our observations are sadly more relevant than ever : festivals encompass a phenomenon of artistic and economic concentration, repurchase, vertical integration of activities, alliances and agreements. This is nothing new, but it’s an unfortunate trend that is only accelerating over time. In the end, thankfully, the many wounds that need healing, the many overwhelming detours, only strengthen our desires and convictions. Unlike all these festivals (that in no way make us dream), our artist roster isn’t driven by short-term profits — and that luck has to be acknowledged. Let’s bet that you won’t listen to our records by chance.

Nadine Khouri pays tribute to Lhasa de Sela on soulful new single "Keep on Pushing These Walls"
“I wrote Keep On Pushing These Walls in tribute to the late, great Lhasa de Sela,” explains Nadine. “I’d seen Leslie Feist, Melissa Laveaux and others pay tribute to her life and work at the Barbican in London and came home and wrote this song. More generally, it’s about songs written by another that open us up to ourselves, to each other and to the world.
“Lhasa was a one-of-a-kind artist, whose music has accompanied me all throughout my life,” she continues. “People often talk about her as an extraordinary singer or performer, but she was equally a brilliant songwriter and storyteller. I often wonder what Lhasa would make of the world today. Her humility, openness and quest for authenticity always inspire me. Her music was expansive, beyond languages and genres. She sang from and for the soul.”
The song’s evocative video was directed by Ramzi Hibri and shot in Lebanon.
