    "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

Night Fell 04:41
A soft revival of my innocence Awaits my coming by the cherry trees On waves of indigo I ride to them like long ago Night fell, and in silence I await dawn I changed, though I never meant to move on Among the clovers, I sought your embrace And in your splendor, I was overcome Oh heal me, revenant For as you reeled, my spirit tore Night fell, and in silence I await dawn I changed, though I never meant to move on

June 03:51
Like leaves dancing in the glade You fluttered my way amidst the autumn grey Like snow falling from on high You tempered the night with winter sheets of white Like rain pouring all through spring You are watering the barren fields green Like sun on the first of June You unearthed my tomb with summer’s gentle croon
3.
Violet eyes feigning Your voice invokes my only sleep Grace without glory Upon the clouds you weep Paled by your cruelty Unbound to all I see In truth, I am where I was before The first thought of you brings a thousand more What came over me when the fever broke I forgot myself deep within the smoke If I could concede to your blade of gold, to the hastening I would run back through time to my fleeting world
4.
Devilry 04:14
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
5.
Carelessly I wandered Where the ravens prey Drinking what they offered Be still my enemy There I languished absently In your luster, in your legacy All your fiction I believed I should’ve known Forever won’t take too long Tomorrow’s almost gone Already forgotten Spent are the days Of marbles and lemonade Now comes the charade Performed on a crumbling stage Silk upon your shoulders Feathers in your hands Pleasantries and liquor To feed your jealousy Thus I sheltered woefully In my haven, in my vanity Age of envy coaxing me I should’ve known Forever won’t take too long Tomorrow’s almost gone Already forgotten Spent are the days Of marbles and lemonade Now comes the charade Good heavens, Arthur, what a marvelous display!
