BASS:
Mlle Caro, Franck Garcia to release ‘Pain Disappears’ as Buzzin’ Fly’s
debut artist album
Edited Press Release
After incubating nearly five years, Ben
Watt’s Buzzin’ Fly Records is set to release its first-ever
artist album Mlle Caro & Franck
Garcia’s
"Pain Disappears" on February 12, 2008. A magnificent blend of minimal
house, experimental electronica and indie-pop, Pain Disappears is an
essential piece of music and it’s positioned to be the crossover album
of 2008.
Having spun
electro and rock as the influential resident DJ at Paris’ seminal Rex
club and Requiem45 parties since the late 90’s, Mlle Caro, whose real
name is Caroline Laher, and her Perpignan-based collaborator Franck
Garcia first surfaced on Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels label in 2006
with the gorgeous "Far Away" single. Shortly thereafter they turned to
Ben Watt’s Buzzin’ Fly imprint and now present their debut album
brimming with a uniquely fragile yet defiant sound that seems to have
one foot in modern-day tech-savvy Berlin and one in vintage early 80’s
indie experimentalism.
Drawing on alt-pop, sparse electro and micro-house, the emotionally
direct song writing and deft economical modern production in Pain
Disappears found an immediate fan in Watt, who slated the project as
the first artist album in the label’s five year history.
"I loved their track on Crosstown Rebels and when they approached me
with the album project I jumped at it. They are uniquely gifted. It is
all so simple, but very moving and dignified. The words, the dual
voices, the guitars versus Moroder. It all fits," said Watt.
"I can see a wide variety of people loving this record from clubby
up-to-the-minute Berlin-ophiles to fans of early astringent indie
minimalists like Young Marble Giants,
through to fans of recent feathery but moody crossover successes like Air, Gotan Project and Fujiya & Miyagi."
With the album’s first single "Always You" already remixed to
end-of-night perfection by Ewan
Pearson - and with Radio Slave
and Mark Moore remixes on the
horizon - its only a matter of time before Mlle Caro & Franck
Garcia receive the success they so richly deserve.
