UNWORKS & RARITIES (2012-2015)
SUB ROSA | Out May 13th - June 03rd 2016
"This is the volume I of UNWORKS & RARITIES, a new serie compiling unreleased and miscelleanous pieces by OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE. Following their two acclaimed first albums (ÜTOPIYA?, 2015 & S/T, 2013), UNWORKS & RARITIES is putting up more than a collection of outtakes. Pushing new boundaries, this opus crystallizes precious moments of sonic bloom, from ambient soundscapes to free-noise and krautrock inflected improvisation. Including previous guests as Gareth Davis on bass clarinet and G.W.SOK (ex The Ex) on vocals, UNWORKS & RARITIES features also Christine Ott on Ondes Martenot and drummers Ben Mc Connell, Sylvain Joasson & Jean-Michel Pirès. A cinematic and poetic voyage orchestrated by the core duo Frédéric D. Oberland & Stéphane Pigneul. "
'Oiseaux-Tempête is plumbing the depths of their vast archives to polish jewels of jazzy noise and well-paced post-rock.'
EXCLAIM (CA)
"Unworks & Rarities donne dans l'ascensionnel sanglant, la montée métaphysique, le renversement de toutes les valeurs de la pop érigé en sentiment. Fatalement, c'est du lourd, et c'est très impressionnant."
THE DRONE (FR)
'Beautifully atmospheric'
