A Norman Records recommendation (16th September 2009)

What we say about Les Biches, by Cursillistas

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.
Cursillistas Les Biches is a two year old experimental psych-folk treat that's been rescued from impending obscurity and ever increasing rarity by that lovely old Time-Lag lot along with L'animaux Tryst (Field) Recordings who've done a damn impressive job of repackaging what was, in reality, an incredibly limited release numbering a mere 66 copies over cassette & 3" CDr! They've even replicated the original string & button hand constructed sleeves on the delicious vinyl for this deluxe reissue of eerie, meandering space drone & cracked acid-fried freestyle folk. 'Bag of Feathers' is the fourth track and is totally amazing, like one of those blinding Animal Collective harmony drenched space pop experiments on 'Spirit they've gone'. Then there's some fun to be had with xylophones and bent shards of heavily manipulated guitar whilst vocals drift drowsily all over the shop like drunken clouds. There's twatted, hazy porch folk and smudged komische experiments too, Side 2 being largely stuffed with absolutely fascinating & relatively brief sketches that have utterly convinced me to purchase this curious release for myself & investigate further. Ace!
