Overview (current section).

Paroles de Navarre" is an invitation for opening the red curtain of this Dark Jazz cabaret made of shimmering and whirling walls. For pop listeners without a feeling for depressive soundscapes it might be boring – for us it’s one of the best musical outputs we’ve discovered in the past years. If you like BOHREN UND DER CLUB OF GORE or THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE, you should be all ears brantly It's like aliens kidnapped Ornette Coleman, loaded him up on heroin and slick cocktails and made him be the house band for an intergalactic journey into Laura Palmer's blackest of swankiest universes. Oh Flying Spaghetti Monster, do I love this band! Herr Jan. Herr Jan God, I love this music.

French dark jazz collective Dale Cooper Quartet & The Dictaphones has just released their third album. And luckily, Quatorze Pièces de Menace continues their quest for dreamy but mysterious places. This is how their label Denovali describes the new album, which is now out in the .

Slowly paced, the new tracks are following the Quartet's basic structure and classical sound. Apart from that the new full length conceals more live takes including guitars, bass and Rhodes keys and even piano sounds are haunting for the first time at the end of 'Ocho Acenteur'. With these new elements the songs of "Astrild Astrild" are pushed further into a large tunnel of deafening rhythmic parts and field ambiant textures. The new album "Astrild Astrild" is a glimpse of the present live sound of the Dale Cooper Quartet: 50's crooners singers, noisy guitars, atmospheric electronic and hypnotic jazz. All of these elements painted in monochrome black.
