je ai dissous / 12" / MW063

Unique collaboration between one of our long time favorite artists, In Aeternam Vale & Anneq, a stunning young Madrid-based vocalist originally from Minsk, Belarus. In Aeternam Vale & Anneq met in 2011 and began to collaborate in 2015. In Aeternam Vale, originally from Lyon, has been making synthesizer based electronic music since the early 80's, when he began to self-release many of his recordings on cassette. As the years went on his cold and caustic synthpunk sound, often primitive and hypnotic evolved into rhythmic, throbbing music for the dancefloor, his own unique style of techno. On this record, In Aeternam Vale & Anneq come together to create 2 very different versions of the same track, one fit for the club and the other a more intimate version, for quiet listening at home. "Je Ai Dissous", the opener, is a dark smoky track with a hypnotic, cyclical underlay reminiscent of early industrial music while the Page R version of the same track trandscends the floor and becomes completely filmic. Anneq's seductive vocal is suspended in a beatless, cavernous void. Side-B opens with "Tendencia", a very classic catchy minimal wave style track, sung in Spanish. The V6 version of Tendencia again focuses on Anneq's voice set in a darker, slower more atmospheric melody. The 4 tracks culminate in an elegant and thoughtful collaboration from these 2 strong talents that complement one another so well. The 'Je Ai Dissous' ep is pressed on 160gr deep purple 'spilled' inside electric blue transparent vinyl, limited to 999 copies and housed in a gloss printed sleeve..!
