Leclair - Confusion - [Vinyl]

An hour of finely crafted grooves where cosmic atmospheres meet late night bangers.While on a break due to a certain pandemic, L��clair threw itself in the making of a new album. Until that point recording sessions were usually really short. Former albums were made in only a few days and recorded mostly live on tape. That changed as the band decided to do four recording sessions over nine months, hence allowing the group and its sound engineer/manager Benoit Erard to spend more time and energy on the production. With the ability to step back and reflect on the work in progress, L�Eclair had the occasion to take things a step above in terms of arrangements, compositions and structures. The result is an hour-long 12 tracks record, which is more diversified and concise than previous efforts.Titled �Confusions�, the album shows L�Eclair�s obsession with groove in all its forms. It blends club vibes with psychedelic grooves, rhythmic trances and ambient comedowns while retaining a true coherence. Produced and organic, danceable and ethereal, spontaneous and cerebral, joyful and melancholic, �Confusions� is always on the fence between very different moods without ever wandering off. The band�s never fading influences are still there: you can hear hints of CAN, Piero Umiliani or Tangerine Dream here and there. But it�s melted with different universes, such as late 80s Madchester or Aphex Twin and Boards Of Canada�s textured worlds. There is also a strong Hip Hop feel with sampled-based tracks and non-binary beats that recall the likes of great producers like Madlib, MF DOOM, J Dilla or even Timbaland. The record also has its fair share of dub and house influences, which connect with the group�s attachment to the club vibe.TRACKLISTING:A1. P+RA2. VersoA3. WhirlwindA4. �toileB1. Cosmologies Pt. 1B1.
