Shayo 016

Composed in the cold shadow of the "black sun", this album is a tribute to the French language while denying France. Because those are the remote and discrete echoes of Nick Drake, Syd Barrett, or even Coil, which resonate through this disc whose morriconesques scenes also remind the sulfur Death In June the early 90s. Shayo is pleased to present the album Soleil Noir by Alexandre Varlet in limited edition 180 gram vinyl (mastered by Denis Blackham) and gatefold whose design is by Yann Orhan.
