about

Les Halles returns with his first new material since 2019’s Golden Hour tape for Hare Akedod. Its origins are something of a mystery to its maker. Floating textures and smeared cloud loops, born of long nocturnal sessions, inspired by a 2022 trip through the California desert. Eight Fantasies is Les Halles’ inaugural release on his new collaborative label / platform, Trona, which will showcase his work and that of an inner circle of peers. As ever, his signature sound is rich with emotion, dreams, and memory, lilting on the winds of change and dissipation. May this be the dawn of many more fantasies to come. (Britt Brown, Not Not Fun)

Lieven Martens (Edições CN) on Eight Fantasies:

« A January night in the Gulf Stream, quite some time ago. I sat on a stone wall. Watching the bioluminescence spectacle in the ocean. The moon shone mildly. Fish, and other mammals weaving faiths below the waves. Colors flashing in the breakers.

The hiss.

I cried that night for no reason. Did that ever happen to you? In my mind there was a melody playing by Tatsuro Yamashita. Did that ever happen to you? It was not a sad melody - Rainy Walk. But still I cried.

Tears foretell early morning rain.

Over the course of the past few months, Club Brugge’s esteemed midfielder Casper Nielsen, cried twice. With a reason. Raining his soul over the television screen.

Ssssshhhh.

My partner throwing little pebbles in the water. Flashes of fluorescent light. Like a kid splashing with paint on a deep blue paper. Dripping ohs and aahs.

This music - the best music. Brings rain. A silver rain. May your day water by the tears of Baptiste Martin. »
