Les Biches

Packaged in an offset printed tri-fold art paper cover with vellum insert and woven Japanese inner sleeve. Edition of 700. Originally presented in 2006 as the first L'animaux Tryst release, an extremely limited 3-inch CD-R. This new version fills out the album with four previously unreleased bonus tracks from the original recording sessions. Each track is newly mixed and the whole album features super nice warm analog remastering for the ultimate in hi-fi lo-fi.

These recordings represent a definite turning point in the Cursillisitas trajectory, with the sparser intimate acid-folk-pop sound of the earliest releases blending easily into a more filled-out and improvisation based psychedelia. Heavy use of layered overdubs, xylophone, live looping, and more experimental atmospheres added to the reverbed vocals, acoustic guitar, and crude percussion push things towards the more free-wheelin' full band sound of the present. A drifting trip that wobbles between the dark and the light.
