Mental Groove Records in co-production with Desastre and Standard In-fi present the solo project of Pierre Bujeau, guitarist from Tanz Mein Herz and Omertà, known as Megabasse, is finally making its debut on vinyl!
Back in 2019, Bujeau captured his modal drone-like melodies, enveloped in a fog of majestic soundscapes, across two expansive tracks. Each track elegantly spans one side of the record, showcasing his masterful use of space and sound.
The A-side was recorded in the serene St. Anne Chapel in Briquebec,
while the B-side found its unique sound within the vast air-ship hangar in Ecausseville, both situated in the picturesque Normandy.
Tom Houghton from the esteemed label All Night Flight eloquently sums up Bujeau's inaugural official release, stating,"deep plaintive repeating string figures that stretch into the horizon {...}. As they gather momentum, reach a crescendo, and then dissipate, the notes begin to unfurl, transforming the guitar into an orchestra of bells, a burst of radio static, a flock of swallows under the roof. Wherever you were, you find yourself transported elsewhere."
