Unter dem Motto “Shampanskoye” (= Champagner) sind die Musiker Alexei Borisov, Jérôme Lorichon, Olga Nosova und Quentin Rollet – allesamt leidenschaftliche Kollaborateure, die Studio- und Bühnenerfahrung mit Ghedalia Tazartes, Nurse With Wound, Jandek, Mia Zabelka, The Red Krayola u.v.a. gemacht haben – sind zum gemeinsamen Jam ins Studio und haben mit Stimme, Gitarre, zwei Saxophonen, Elektronik und diversen Effekten improvisiert. Das Resultat ist ein summendes, hauchendes, rasselndes, rumpelndes, klapperndes und rauschendes Kaleidoskop von einem Album inklusive Artwork von Oleg Kornev. Es erscheint in den nächsten Tagen bei Rollets Label Reqords.

“Alexei and I met in the 90’s when he was touring in Europe and when I was co-running the Rectangle record label. We became friends but never played together at that time. Every time he came to Paris, we only met for a few hours. When I heard he had a day off from his tour with ASTMA (the duo with Olga Nosova), I thought it would the opportunity to eventually meet musically. On that day Jérôme Lorichon and I were supposed to be working on our duo set, so we transformed that in a double-duo recording. What you hear on this album is the music that surged naturally from playing together for the first time.” (Quentin Rollet)
