Austerton

Peripheral Minimal Records is proud to present - and for the first time on CD - Martial Canterel's second album [Confusing Outsides", being the debut] originally recorded between August and December 2003, Austerton. The CD is limited to 300 copies in a Digipak. The artwork reflects the original sleeve [first released in 2005], beautifully redesigned by Oleg Galay. The album was digitally remastered by Martin Bowes at The Cage Studios

The album Austerton consists of some of his earliest work recorded in 2003. The ten minimal synth songs on the LP are reminiscent of music by bands like Dark Day, Snowy Red, A Blaze Colour and League Of Nations, or even at times early Depeche Mode. Through the collision of a uniquely humanistic means of production via live analogue synthcraft expertly paired with vocals and lyrics that reflect the pitfalls and pleasures of our age, Martial Canterel provides a visceral kick best felt on the dancefloor, amidst a flurry of flesh in motion.
