"Hibou is the indie dream-pop solo project from Paris based Peter Michel. His latest release ‘Arc’ delivers 5 strong numbers of ethereal pop bliss. Self-engineered, self-produced, and solely performed by Michel save the drums provided by Jase Ihler; the project is a labor of love. Within seconds the opener “Night Fell” immerses listeners into a sonic palette of comforting textures and pulsing rhythm that consistently carries throughout the record. The drums pulse and push without being overpowering. Michel’s vocals function as a wonderful texture that blends beautifully with the instruments while still providing clarity in key moments to allow the songs to shine melodically. Standout track “Upon The Clouds You Weep”, features a thunderous drum performance from Ihler supporting a wall of lush distortion and glittery vocals from Michel. ‘Already Forgotten’ closes out the record in synth driven, heartfelt melancholy. The lyric is a beautifully written and leaves one with a cathartic resolve. Michel notably sings: “I should've known, forever won't take too long. Tomorrow's almost gone. Already forgotten”. We are honored to be the first to present this release to you in the vinyl format. Enjoy" - Salton Sea Sound System

lyrics
A rusted heart beats not for love nor for anyone at all
Yet you recall the swallowtails swirling in your stomach
Devilry on the breeze, sugar in the words you speak to me
Secretly, I believe everything will bloom tonight
Lunacy as we please underneath a sky of velveteen
Suddenly I don’t see how I could grow any older now
You dwell within your apathy, caught between the lies you wove
You claim to know what’s best for me, what I truly need
Devilry on the breeze, sugar in the words you speak to me
Secretly, I believe everything will bloom tonight
Lunacy as we please underneath a sky of velveteen
Suddenly I don’t see how I could grow any older now

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
