Ouilposaliva

as is often the case with all things musical, chemikal underground's association with angil and hiddntracks was the product of serendipity and shared friendships: jim putnam from the radar bros had contributed vocals to angil's first album and was kind enough to recommend him to chemikal underground. 'ouliposaliva' from the first listen is an intelligent and charming album with a unique sound, enhanced further when you understand the back-story and 'theme' of the recording - all songs written without the chord e and no lyrics with the letter e. few other french artists are that able to caper about various musical possibilities, from hip-hop to charlie haden, from indie-pop to new folk, and remain natural and credible. think why? and sun ra, lisa germano and alice coltrane, soul couhging and tryggve seim. the cd comes in gatefold packaging with a 16 page lyric sheet illustrated by acclaimed french comic artist guillaume long.
