With "(previously unreleased) archive songs I" six tracks cover almost the entire scope of the project. Two of the songs stand out, especially with vocals contributed by none other than Aidan Casserly (Empire State Human). With his usually soulful and well-versed performance he sets outstanding marks on "We Are Tomorrow" and "Aerial". "We Are Tomorrow" impresses with an epic length of almost ten minutes and synthetic guitar tracks that are reminiscent of the best New Wave times. "Aerial" is a bit more bass-heavy. The roots of this composition go back to 2004. The original instrumental versions of both pieces are also included. On top of that there is also the exciting, percussive track "Gate No7" and the song "Don't Give Up", which is dominated by surprising rhythm changes. After this exciting and high-quality overview, one can already look forward to the second part of the archive excavations.
Basis-Info:
The Lounge Noire project Arsine Tibé first appeared on the musical horizon in 2008. Since then, Manfred Thomaser (!distain / The Independent Seasons) has been providing fans of relaxed music with his multi-layered and often melancholic to darkly inclined soundscapes. In addition to the regular productions, pieces were created which up to date never found their way into the public. Some of them have been continuously revised and optimized over the years. Now the time has come to release them on two separate albums.
