French Blend

The Alchemist

A dusty, instrumental collage of obscure French samples. Cinematic loops and vintage textures that feel like a midnight walk through a foggy Parisian alley.

December 16, 2017 · ALC Records

Find on Amazon

A sophisticated and slightly eerie collection of sonic vignettes that feel like a midnight walk through a foggy European city.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the haunting piano loop on Barriere d'enfer feels like it's being played in a room three doors down.
The sudden transition into the psychedelic, space-age guitar textures on Rock spatial.
The crackling, nostalgic vocal snippets that drift in and out of Chanson terrestre like a radio signal from 1968.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
