"Hibou is the indie dream-pop solo project from Paris based Peter Michel. His latest release ‘Arc’ delivers 5 strong numbers of ethereal pop bliss. Self-engineered, self-produced, and solely performed by Michel save the drums provided by Jase Ihler; the project is a labor of love. Within seconds the opener “Night Fell” immerses listeners into a sonic palette of comforting textures and pulsing rhythm that consistently carries throughout the record. The drums pulse and push without being overpowering. Michel’s vocals function as a wonderful texture that blends beautifully with the instruments while still providing clarity in key moments to allow the songs to shine melodically. Standout track “Upon The Clouds You Weep”, features a thunderous drum performance from Ihler supporting a wall of lush distortion and glittery vocals from Michel. ‘Already Forgotten’ closes out the record in synth driven, heartfelt melancholy. The lyric is a beautifully written and leaves one with a cathartic resolve. Michel notably sings: “I should've known, forever won't take too long. Tomorrow's almost gone. Already forgotten”. We are honored to be the first to present this release to you in the vinyl format. Enjoy" - Salton Sea Sound System

lyrics
Carelessly I wandered
Where the ravens prey
Drinking what they offered
Be still my enemy
There I languished absently
In your luster, in your legacy
All your fiction I believed
I should’ve known
Forever won’t take too long
Tomorrow’s almost gone
Already forgotten
Spent are the days
Of marbles and lemonade
Now comes the charade
Performed on a crumbling stage
Silk upon your shoulders
Feathers in your hands
Pleasantries and liquor
To feed your jealousy
Thus I sheltered woefully
In my haven, in my vanity
Age of envy coaxing me
I should’ve known
Forever won’t take too long
Tomorrow’s almost gone
Already forgotten
Spent are the days
Of marbles and lemonade
Now comes the charade
Good heavens, Arthur, what a marvelous display!

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
