If in doubt, turn to Bandcamp. As we approach December and new releases for the year on the surface of the lake appear to dry up, there's plenty of fresh and worthwhie stuff still appearing in the murky depths, and musically Bandcamp is often the best place to encounter new pearls.
Like this for example. Le Cirque de Consolation, the second album from young Frenchwoman Leonie Pernet, definitely deseving of that description and Bandcamp album of the day just a couple of days back.
It's a rich, mysterious and evocative record from the off. It covers an enormous amount of musical territory over the course of its eleven tracks. Kitschy Eighties synth classics, Trip Hop otherworldly nuance, Serge seduction, Afrobeat overdrive.
This strikes me as an album that would richly reward repeat plays. A very fine record indeed. Tres Bien Leonie. Tres Bien.
