about

This the album we did in 2009. It is our 3rd record and our first full-length album.

Anyway... we had a load of songs by that time. Gilbertmuda wanted to record the old songs as well as the new ones. That was quite a lot of songs! 17 songs! Do you know how difficult it is to lay down 17 songs of basic tracks even for accomplished musicians? It’s fucking hard! ...And we were far from being great musicians… apart from Axel of course! So off we went to La Ferme De La Justice to record. What could go wrong?
This time Arthur De Barry from the band ENOB, that we’d booked to play with us a few times at La Zorba, (they were the Paris gods of noise) was there to help Jean Phi to record us in the studio. Super cool guy. He’s gone solo and is mega poppy now (what ever happened to the unholy god of noise?). Check him out!
Things didn’t go smoothly. Early on in the session, the kick drum skin broke. We tried to fix it with sticky tape but we couldn’t get that to work so we went hunting for a new drum skin in the barn where all the flea market stuff was stored. I think we found one from the 70s or something. Remember that The Ferme de la Justice is a literal treasure trove! Jean Phi found a genuine Gibson Les Paul in a flea market for fuck’s sake! We also broke a snare drum. Shit! Quick recording tip: the kick and snare drums are pretty important to a good sounding record! Damn! The mixing desk was also introducing a lot of crackles into the tracks too. Double damn!
I took the tracks home for overdubs and mixing. Slight hitch, my computer was 10 years old and crashed all the time. It took me months just to repair all the crackles and clicks.
I would come home from work and desperately mix and overdub until I couldn't do it any more. Sometimes the computer would crash and I'd be worse off than I was before. This went on for 6 months until I just decided that even though, the album didn't sound how I wanted it to, I couldn't physically do it anymore
The vocals were recorded in my bathroom and, of course, all the software was pirated and buggy as fuck.
I’m proud of this record though. The songs are good and the energy comes through. That’s what counts! It’s kind of like a hip hop record with lots of skits and samples between the tracks (I always wanted to do a full length, 45 minute long album with loads of cool samples - just like my heros, Public Enemy). It was then mastered by an indie dude in Brooklyn called Spleenless Mastering. So in the end with all the skits, we ended up with 27 tracks on the record. You can’t say we go full on when we do something! Our first full length album was 100% full length!!!

It got released by Magnatune in the US and Nacion Libre in Mexico.

It eventually met with praise from people who really know underground music, like Ian from Damaged Goods records and Maximum Rock'n'Roll so I suppose we must have done something right. Extracts of this record were released by Damaged Goods and Close Up records on vinyl.

about

Louis Lingg and the Bombs Paris, France

Louis Lingg and the Bombs are goddamn punk-rock-garage-electro-big beat-pop-anarcho saviours of the 2 and half minute pop song. The bombs they throw are musical, they come from Paris (they could only come from Paris!) and they'll grab you and demand your instant attention.
Their sound is a mix of ultra-political anarchic punk rock and fizzing children's nursery rhyme riot-pop. Formed in 2006!!!!
