chicaloyoh


"Chicaloyoh is the Alice Dourlen solo project, a music between soundscape exploration and intimate contemplation, a mix of guitar, keyboards and percussions from distant and various horizon. Chicaloyoh is a one woman band that will attract those who like the priestesses singings of Inca Ore or Zola Jesus. she is also part of the dark church trio Folle Eglise and has a collaboration with High Wolf called Woodoo Mount Sister."

"Alice Dourlen’s phantom vocals and otherworldly guitar comes echoing straight from the heart. Her spiritual offerings manifest themselves into a series beautiful psychedelic songs accompanied by pounding drums and spiralling outer space keyboards they create a very haunting personal album." bumtapes


banda sonora ideal para recorrer tu desierto favorito flotando en vez de caminando, como las muñecas de los dibujos de alice dourlen (muchas de las canciones tienen nombres de desiertos, 'las bardenas reales', 'atacama', 'sonora',...). en realidad, improvisaciones grabadas en el cobertizo (¿cabaña?) de Alice y aderezadas con voces fantasmales, percusiones nebulosas y una producción opaca que recuerda a inca ore, pocahaunted, second family band,...

folle eglise

"Sometimes, you don't have to travel across the world to find an amazing new band. Anna's Present is the first effort from this two young french mermaids called Folle Eglise. This debut release have been recorded in august 2009 during some typical north-of-france misty summer days. Seven tracks for a long journey in the muzzy heads of Alice Dourlen and Sophie Bernadou, full of strange child pictures, gregorian recollections and wired worldmusic covers. If you hear the song of sirens, you'll never go back on board. Kaugummi is really proud to be the first label which turn out a record of this amazing new band. Handmade packaging made of caramel paper, thin cord and feather, plus a strange found photograph. Handnumbered edition of 100 copies." kaugummi books
