Sauropoda

by L'Eclair

supported by
Burlap Productions
Burlap Productions thumbnail
Burlap Productions Funky sleepy groove music that could have been built decades earlier, but finds relevance right up to present day. An intoxicating potion of muted Afrobeat, 80's yacht synthesizers, bass-guitar mustaches and imaginary TV themes.
L'Eclair is equal parts relaxed and unpredictable... it's as if Stereolab wrote for the KPM library. Favorite track: Endless Dave.

about

What can one expect of an album called “Sauropoda”? Think of it as a 2am youtube find. Or that weird looking soviet prog funk LP reissue you never dared to buy. It actually sounds more like a L’Eclair show. Most of the new album comes from deep jams the band road-tested following the recording of Polymood. Some of the tracks faithfully capture the live sound of the band while the rest includes carefully crafted dance floor grooves, last minute studio fantasies and genuine late night jams. L’Eclair is about all those things. And things never sound the same twice.
Sauropoda was recorded in the mountains with the band’s live engineer Benoit “Gérard” Erard. In case anyone ever wonders about the way L’Eclair sounded in 2018, Sauropoda would be the correct answer. Proto-groove was born.
Now, where shall we head to, baba?

L'Eclair image

L'Eclair Geneva, Switzerland

L’Eclair is a cosmic instrumental six piece from Geneva, Switzerland. The band crafted a unique sound melting nods to CAN, Piero Umiliani, and Tangerine Dream and other influences as the house grooves of 80’s Madchester, Aphex Twin or Boards of Canada. With three LPs, an EP and two 7’’, multiple concerts around Europe, the band acquired a solid reputation in the global groove scene. ... more
