mountains diary by Mascara Snake
released as a tape by the precious "sloow tapes" belgian record label in 2023.
It has been reviewed by "THE WIRE" ::
"NOT A SOLO PROJECT BY VICTOR HAYDEN (DON VLIET'S COUSIN, WHO USED THIS SOUBRIQUET ON CAPTAIN BEEFHEART'S "trout mask replica"), BUT A FRENCH SOLO PROJECT WHO CREATE DELICATE AVANT-GARDE CHAMBER MUSIC. AKIN TO A MORE TAPE-ORIENTED VERSION OF PENGUIN CAFE ORCHESTRA. I'D BEEN ASSUMING THE REEDS HEARD HERE WERE PRERECORDED AND MANIPULATED, BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE...INTERESTING STUFF, BROKEN UP INTO A WIDE VARIETY OF ODD MUSICAL SNIPPETS, SOME WITH VOCALS THAT ARE CHILD-LIKE AND OTHERS THAT MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLE DREAM SPEECH. BUT IT'S MOSTLY INSTRUMENTAL"
enjoy, peace
