Nina Garcia : guitare électrique Arnaud Rivière : électrophone réparé et table de mixage préparée Mastering : James Plotkin Visuel et Design : Hélène Marian Enregistrement et mixage : Étienne Foyer Éditions Gravats, 2025 ------------------------------------------ Autoreverse brings together Arnaud Rivière (prepared turntable - we should say damaged or destroyed), a kingpin of the French noise underground as a programmer at Instants Chavirés and Sonic Protest, team player with Otomo Yoshihide, Erik M, and a hundred others, ; and Nina Garcia (guitar & feedback), recently recruited by Stephen O'Malley's Ideologic Organ label after giving the whole of the Paris region a taste for noise guitar solos with her Mariachi project ("Guitar, pedal. That's all’, as his Discogs puts it. What he doesn't say is that it's EVERYTHING - a world, a cosmos in itself) – culminating in a self-titled album and instant classic (Mariachi, No Lagos, 2018), and various collaborations (Maria Bertel, Mamiedaragon). Their music, already been featured in two live cassettes, stems from assiduous concert practice. Autotunes is something like the duo's core in fission. They throw themselves into improvisation with little patience for detours : the position is clean-cut hardcore – less over-the-top clatter and more about finding the cutting edge, with an insistence on fine-tuning the limits of the instruments, attacking the raw and the gritty with maximum precision: the result is an irradiating flow of rare metals and certified toxins. In one of the record's many climaxes, bleeps extruded from who knows where battle with the strumming of white-hot guitar strings. But there's a whole host of distinct techniques and sonorities at work here: seamless attacks, amplified scrap metal, just-caught feedbacks, provoked chances, melodies that invite themselves in but don't stay for dinner, rhythmic sketches and glimpsed zones of beauty, built-up and cracked materials, expected and unexpected counterpoints. The intensities vary from start to finish: howling, eruptive bursts of harsh noise microswitchs, shapeless feedback whining and growling, but also more meditative harmonics and resonances. This is reinforced by the didactic and generous structure of the record, which first methodically exposes the takes played in the studio through ‘horizontal’ sequencing (A1), before repeating the same material ‘vertically’ in a meticulous work of hollowing out and elisions. Autotunes manifests a distinctive ability to maintain an astonishing dynamic in the depths of the post-industrial cavern left by Throbbing Gristle (‘Slug Bait’ period), Maurizio Bianchi and all. With Autoreverse, it's no longer time to marvel at our various abilities and tactics, but to tighten the mesh. In the way it coolly reviews the possibilities, in its peaceful radicalism, in its attitude of less noise, more impact, this record helps us to conceive what a comrade called once ‘an ethic of our violence’.

Almost 40 years after Baudrillard’s America, Jazz Lambaux offers his own fantasy of TV-fed - mostly white - third millennial suburban America. Music for Fools (2022-2024) is an elegy for a demographic with little-to-no property ownership prospects, entangled in a never ending culture war and a meaningless consumption race - a meager solace for a generation raised on Green Day’s American Idiot and Marilyn Manson’s Portrait Of An American Family. Contrary to what its title suggests, Music For Fools (2022-2024) is not a mere compilation of tracks and skits lazily extracted from Jazz Lambaux’s hard drive to justify a touring habit. Like most of his fellow buffoons, the Mountain Dew-fueled Punchinello is smarter than he’s willing to pretend, and the narration his debut album offered is among the most uncompromising and cinematographic ones we’ve heard in the early 2020’s. Punctuated by post-modern vignettes echoing Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Eminem’s own deranged comedy skits (special mention to the goofily Kafkaian “Broken Jukebox in B-Flat Major”), the album progresses towards a relatively radiant conclusion, conjuring the dizzying junk of US teenagealia it emerged from, touched by the grace of MTV-friendly gods. Ecstatic pop songs on steroids (“America”, “Yesterday”, “Paranoid”) - summoning the aforementioned acts - alternate with bittersweet ballads (“Twilight”, “Rockstar”), recalling the heydays of campus radios and Tori Amos’s mainstream avant-garde Boys For Pele. But all songs and instrumentals bath in that same hyperreal uncanniness, a grinning paranoid glow that blossomed in the mid-00’s through works like Gregg Araki’s Kaboom, Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly or Korn’s Twisted Transistor video clip… A trip through America’s guilt, led by a French cousin of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

Geins't Naït - Archives 3/3 (GRVTS023) / DIGITAL - LP Release date : 12.24.24 Rounding off a trilogy initiated in 2019, this final volume of Geins’t Naït’s archives -as seen, compiled & triturated by Vincent Hachet & Thierry Mérigout, the original duo - showcases yet another facet of the composite industrial mashup the band discharged into the late 1980’s Dadaist French underground between 1986 & 1993. Geins’t Naït’s final edit for Éditions Gravats agglomerates bits & pieces picked up from the soil of a muddy barnyard. Geins't Naït is Thierry Mérigout & Vincent Hachet Mastering : James Plotkin Design : David coquelin Distribution : Boomkat
