[Exclusivité] Kaouenn – Reachin’ The Stars (Radio Edit)
En marge de la parution de son album Mirages à venir en février prochain, le producteur italo-français Kaouenn présente un deuxième extrait de ce puissant opus. Après la sortie d’Immaterial Jungle en mai dernier, c’est au tour de Reachin’ The Stars de faire résonner nos enceintes grâce à ses vibrantes pulsations électroniques. Le single, que nous avons l’immense plaisir de vous dévoiler en exclusivité et qui paraîtra officiellement le vendredi 20 novembre, s’aventure entre la trance et le krautrock tout en affichant une efficacité digne de la techno. S’apparentant à la fabuleuse formation chilienne Föllakzoid, la musique de Kaouenn percute tout sur son passage par son rythme entraînant et convaincant. Vivement la venue de Mirages pour épancher notre soif de décibels!
Texte officiel du single :
Reachin ‘The Stars: a ride between prairies and galaxies, earth and space, darkness and light. Opposites that interpenetrate and complete, which have always been the core of the imaginary of the Italian-French musician and absolute protagonists of the new album out on February 5, 2021. Last May Kaouenn released the single Immaterial Jungle – well received by audiences and critics – as a preview of the sound of Mirages, the new album scheduled in February of the new year which boasts important collaborations as Above The Tree and Sara Ardizzoni (Dagger Moth/Massimo Volume/Cesare Basile e i Caminanti). He is back now with Reachin‘ The Stars to reveal another component of the sound of the upcoming full length, always hypnotic and vibrant, but definitely more fast and amphetaminic.
The psychedelic escape of a runaway horse towards space is, in fact, the starring of the excellent video of the single, edited by the Italian designer Alessandro Bracalente, already at work with MATA, kmfrommyills, as well as a member of the collective Only Fucking Noise and Le Marche a Fuoco.
As well as the new album Mirages, the single Reachin’ The Stars will be released in digital and vinyl by the group of labels Atypeek Music (Lyon, France), Beautiful Losers (Venice, Italy), BloodySound Fucktory (Jesi, Italy) and Ph37 Soundlab (Nice, France). The physical copies are made by Elitistic, a vinyl hand-cutting factory linked to the label Family Sounds, which numbered the seven-inch copies. Kaouenn is a creature born in 2015 from the imagination of Nicola Amici, Italian musician currently living in France, former guitarist and saxophonist of Butcher Mind Collapse, Lebowski and Jesus Franco & The Drogas, bassist of Daudane and Tommy Lorente et La Cavallerie. The solo project Kaouenn debuts in 2016 with the eponymous album which is well received by European critics allowing him to perform in Italy, France, Belgium and Switzerland. At the base there is the need to stage a multi-sensorial and hypnotic show, based on musical and visual performance, with an oblique approach between genres: psychedelia, world music, kraut-rock, electronics and ambient.
