Originally released on standard black vinyl by Talitres in 2014 and long since sold out, this magnificent recording is now being reissued as a limited edition (1,000 copies) double white vinyl. It’s set for release on May 30^th and is already available for pre-order through the label’s online store or Bandcamp.

It featured ethereal melodies and a wandering spirit. Years before, Tambour had made a dramatic artistic shift away from the darker sound of his electronic/orchestral project Encre with Churning Strides (2007). This distinctive and bright work blended Anglo-Saxon folk with French chanson and Mande music, where classical guitar and kora arpeggios intertwined to create a timeless musical landscape.

Written and recorded in Western Normandy, where Tambour grew up and moved back just under a decade ago after spells in various cities, this new album marks a return to spellbinding simplicity. While Cissokho’s contributions were previously scattered across their recordings, a decade of live performances has given him a prominent role in the music. This evolution shines through on all nine tracks, where their string instruments intertwine in perfect harmony.

New album available for pre-order* (grey vinyl**, ltd ed. printed inner sleeve, black vinyl printed inner sleeve, CD digisleeve with booklet, digital).
