AUX SOLITUDES from JEAN-PHILIPPE GOUDE is certainly a play on words on Purcell (O solitude), but this album of classic instrumental and post-rock returns to a serious theme, that is an essential, and which does not consist of a consensual complaint on the planet’s degradation but instead, of an evocation of a major challenge. The announcement of the death of God has turned us into orphans. It’s up to us to fully pay the consequences.
MATT ELLIOTT continued on DRINKING SONGS the mutation he initiated with The mess we made (Domino rcds) : less beats to let voices and guitars give the shock. The following album, FAILING SONGS proved he's now a real songwriter. The third opus of the trilogy, HOWLING SONGS should be released in october.
Hailing from the remote cliffs, panoramic views and “hidden” civilisation of the Faroe Islands ORKA was always bound to be different but the fact that these boys build their own instruments is what makes them truly unique ! They will play 5 times with Yann Tiersen at the prestigious 30th anniversary of the Transmusicales de Rennes.
CHAPELIER FOU is a young artist who explores for a few years interactions between his passion for electronic musics and the acoustic instruments he plays since his early childhood. He composes and perform addictive melodies and rythms to be discovered on stage and soon on a first 6 tracks EP only available by mail-order or during the shows.

Ici d'ailleurs is the exclusive licensee of vinyl version of TABARLY, the news score from YANN TIERSEN. The record is available since the film (from Pierre Marcel, produced by Jacques Perrin) release on june 11th (in France). We're very happy of this new collaboration with Yann Tiersen, the first artist signed by the label more thant 10 years ago. We take the occasion to propse 6 other albums in vinyl + free CD version inside.

JULIEN RIBOT is back today with VEGA, a record he wrote between Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, Rome and Florence... Without being a concept album, this new release is fully coherent and builds up again a subtle and captivating atmosphere. The artist describes a quest for identity and inner peace throughout the fourteen tracks of the LP which stand for joyful or sad – but always edifying - personal experiences.
BARTH is introducing CUCHILLO, his third album in the nice little movie "Cuchillo at the fishmarket" by Fabien Leroy. "A sort of French Damon Albarn meets Beck meets Roy Orbison. A groovy looking fella with a talent to match" said Dazed & Confused.

THE MARRIED MONK is involved in ELEPHANT PEOPLE, a "sideshows opera" project with director Renaud Cojo. They play live during this multimedia show (libretto by Daniel Keene) around monsters and freaks including most famous of them, Joseph Merrick aka Elephant man. We released the score of the show in a beautiful boxed set.

ZËRO (Eric Aldéa, Ivan Chiossone, Franck Laurino and François Cuilleron) seems with their first album JOKE BOX to be the missing link, the connection between the inventive post rock of Bästard and the elusive melodies of Narcophony.

Singer of the mythical bands Diabologum and of Programme as well, ARNAUD MICHNIAK tries his skills at a new solo project POING PERDU, which drives rock hip hop and electro to the wall.

We are pleased to welcome ARCA for his third album. With ON NE DISTINGUAIT PLUS LES TETES, the duo proposes an ambient organic rock which focuses on Sylvain Chauveau’s warm voice that has been revealed by Down to the Bone, his album that pays tribute to Depeche Mode.
Another new signature on the label, the Australian Griot STEVE TALLIS conquers Europe with his rough and inspired blues rock. The release of the album LOKO was followed by a fall tour that let us hope his return as soon as possible.
