Domenique Dumont has a new album out in November. It's a soundtrack to a German silent film from the 30s. This is the only track up yet, and it sounds very nice.

oh nicee!

Is this a fleshed out version of the SoundCloud I shared earlier in the year. I'm hyped!

I searched out the SoundCloud link I shared on this thread. It was indeed the same project, and it no longer is on SoundCloud. Will be interesting to see if this is a repackaging of the exact same thing or what.

I was really hoping they'd release it.

Relistening to Domenique Dumont’s miniatures album and it has so many breezy, gorgeous moments. Specially love how the guitar sounds.

At this point, I'd say that's my favorite of the two.

'sans cesse, mon chéri' is already an all time great

Head up- this is fantastic

Enjoying Double Geography a lot. Really feeling the Balearic-style vibes lately in fact.

Put together a couple of nice playlists in this style:

WARM NIGHTS - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ODDwMMpnatOm0LrKhJN8M?si=lB37FSzhQ8iKHqu49uko9g

so I grabbed all the tracks used and made a little comp if anyone wants it

of course I do :)

email lukasb on the google

Good vibes on this one: https://periodicarecords.bandcamp.com/album/danse-cette-zik

nice, that sounds great

i really enjoy the rosa album on that same label, they put out good stuff

New Domenique Dumont is excellent as expected, more subtle and less chirpy than previous releases but would have been ideal if it had came out in time for the end of summer.

I don't realistically expect anyone to listen to the whole thing but I've been wanting to get this vibe out my system for a while.
So, here's a 4 and a half hour mix of Balearic lift music:

thanks for this DL, just the thing while WFH in Autumn, dreaming of sunny shores!

^ Wow, that track listing is amazing, looking fwd to listening to this at work

ah nice, would love to know what you think!

awesome through the first few tracks!

yeah great mix - soothes, energizes, moisturizes

Rare Silk... never heard this, so good.

glad you all are enjoying it! it does deviate from things towards the end but my excuse is that I was a few beers in by that point

Molero - Ficciones Del Tropico looks like it ought to go here.

https://holuzam.bandcamp.com/album/ficciones-del-tr-pico

Dog Latin, did you get the 10” reissue for Raw Silk and does yours also sound terrible? My copy has a lot of noise.

no, i only got an mp3 i'm afraid

new K-Lone album is quite different from his previous stuff and definitely fits the tropical balearic sound: https://wisdomteethuk.bandcamp.com/album/k-lone-cape-cira-lp

You mean new as in this year? It's been out since spring. Indeed it is so good! Check out The Falls EP while you're at it.

Ah well it's new to me. I was only familiar with his clubbier stuff till now

TBH I've only come to appreciate the term 'Balearic' as a loose concept recently, even if I've enjoyed the sound and vibe for a very long time.

Not even 100% sure what I've been playing really counts as such, but for me it's about painting images of liminal spaces and places: Be it a beach, a forest or an office building

this dope shit just got a nice 12" reissue on new label betonska

riyl talking drums, quando quango, etc

she's pretty obscure, maybe slightly better known for being in a minimal wave group called "shiny two shiny" (red flame labelmates with severed heads and noted sabres-era weatherall collaborator david harrow)

captured tracks did a "collected works" reissue LP way back in 2005 but barring a track or two imo nowhere near as good as "higher"

Test Pressing have set up a forum: https://testpressing.org/magazine/weve-launched-a-forum-1
Wahey!

RIP ILX

So excited to see Test Pressing start a forum. This is good news. Thanks for sharing.

In the spirit of sharing, i've made an all vinyl mix of some balearic vibes. It's a brief 40min ride, and I think if you're on this thread, you'll enjoy the tunes.

somehow missed the latest from D.K., which came out nearly a year ago. Very nice vibes!

looks like this was finally released but I can't seem to find where to watch it yet.
