Chicago’s Kranky Records is home to the music that soundtracks my day like Loscil, Stars of the Lid, Tim Hecker, and The Dead Texan which i will share in future music posts. In recent years they have gained probably most their popularity from young guys like Deerhunter and Atlas Sound but the one musician songwriting wise that sticks out is Portand’s Benoît Pioulard. The artwork and photography is done by Will Calcutt who is a great photographer out of Los Angeles and probably couldn’t of pushed this artwork in my opinion closer to perfection for this album. Hopefully this hits the spot to carry you into the weekend.
Benoît Pioulard – Ash In The Sky
[audio:ash.mp3]
one of my favourite albums of the last few years.still sounds amazing at every listen.
kranky is probably the most reliable label i know.
his song Triggering back was definitely immersed on my repeat setting.
Kranky is pretty legit. Tim Hecker is great.
Is there a place to view Will’s other work? All thats on his site is that big sunglasses thing.
