Etant Donnes – “Royaume/Aimant + Aimant” – [Penultimate Press]

billiejoe   11/9/2016   12-inch, A Library

This is a duo based in Grenoble, brothers Eric and Marc Hurtado originally from Morocco. This album was a CD released in 1991. This is a remastered 2016 release. Creepy whispers in French, swishes, smacks, crackles, stomps, tinkles. Very sinister. Even the laughs are not comforting. Royaume means kingdom in french. Aimant means magnet. Matin means morning. There’s some writing online about how it’s taoist and has to do with the four elements. Interpret as you will. More in the library for you to chew on.
