Glace”, you’re immediately transported to those murky days of Untrue (and damn, Burial’s self-titled turns 10 years old next May!). But back to La route des Alpes. This album is actually a film score, and was commissioned by the Scène Nationale du Lux in Valence for a cine-concert on André Bayard’s 1921 silent film. This is a journey through the regions like Évian, Col du Galibier, and Mont Blanc. And although we don’t have the silent film, we’ve got this music for you. “Epic flights echoing the grandeur of the landscapes, a deep sense of nostalgia, darker tracks shaped by the harshness of the elements, later contrasted by the lightness of clearings traced by his synthesizers, a fragile, skin-deep composition elevated by immersive and masterful sound design.” I liked this album a lot, and I was initially planning to premiere a track for you on here, but time slipped by, as I got swallowed up by Headphone Community, where I am spending most of my time and energy these days. And that’s all good, since now you get a dedicated write-up. Pick this one up from the French Lifeguards / IFT imprint.
