about

Toronto based ‘électro-psyche’ duo Les Fontaines return with their fifth release “Chalet Électronique”. Their five song e.p. was once again recorded at the Sauna Porch Recordings Co., an isolated log-cabin studio located in the woodlands of Ontario.

The tracks were created within the duo’s self-imposed parameters: two electronic instruments each, all recordings live off the floor and that each final track had to clock in under five minutes.

Opening with Pool Noodle, a piece of swirling and slightly disorienting psychedelic electro pop. The song’s chunky, primitive beats melt into overlapping arpeggios, and is perfectly suited to accompany slightly evil atonal discotheques.

Title track Chalet Électronique slows down the tempo considerably. A veeerrry slowly evolving dubby ambient groove, the title track was recorded under a full starry night sky. Every moment in the piece, reveals brand new alien sounds that Lorenz and Heiki coaxed out their machines that evening.

Numéro trois: Fumée Particulaire. Depuis le 17 octobre 2018, le cannabis est légal au Canada et est régi par la loi C-45.

Well past the midnight hour… Through the ominous fog from the black lake… Suddenly without warning… appears the infamous Doctor Goth! A tough rhythm and a tougher bassline sets the dark tone… and only the occasional synthesized light rays of melodic hope… pierces through the Doctor’s masked veil…

Pastoral motorique electro-pop. Les Fontaines whistle into the electronique wind. Ce n’est rien plus que du bloopedy bloop. Moutarde Préparée. C’est jolie ça!

Lorenz Peter (synths, noise, turntables) has played in numerous other duos, including CORPUSSE, OFFWORLD and in bass synth duo PROCESSOR. His recent 8 track solo album of mutant techno Restarting is out now on paper+sound.

Heiki Sillaste (synths, drum machines, effects) has previously made music as cult elektro industrialists DIGITAL POODLE and electronic maximalists KINDER ATOM. His current music groups includes HOZERZ and his recent solo album of ambient dub techno, Dub Town on his paper+sound label.

Les Fontaines will be following up the Chalet Électronique e.p. shortly, with their psyche garage punk release Garage Méchanique. Raw! Mono! Unhinged garage recordings made in sub-freezing temperatures! C’est bon!
