Lilacs & Champagne: A retro collage

The deformation and hybridizing psych music of different cultures has always been the terrain of GRAILS-musician Emil Amos and Alex Hall. Create as LILACS & CHAMPAGNE from the two kinds of musical and cinematic artefacts from the 1960s and 70s as well as additional new recordings an interesting mix of prog, psych, soul, and oblique-nebulösem retro feel. The self-titled, debut album of producer duo is an exciting musical journey so wandlerisch and warm as a desert landscape.

Due to the large number of references, the album is something of a guide through the record collection of Amos and Hall. Are special coordinates it as Czeslaw Niemen and Madlib to name: the name of the project and the basic feel of the music are the work of the Niemen Prog-/Jazz-Multiinstrumentalisten borrowed from the operation of the collage of Existentem and your own production corresponds to the principle of DJ / producer Madlib.

"Lilacs & Chmapagne" is on Jan 31, 2012 12 "vinyl and compact disc appeared on Mexican Summer (MEX106).
