Yoran Montparnasse

Vinyl LP pressing. A walk in Paris somewhere between the '30s and the '50s made by a Japanese lost soul. Montparnasse by Yoran is a surreal journey into an era which has maybe existed but long gone. A melancholic phantasy about a time you'll never know and can only smell the atmosphere. Memories and flashes come from an ancient time, cobbled streets where heels crack far away surrounded by the tickle of a street musician, a classical dance class directed by some piano notes or an announcement from an old train station. The cryptic French spoken-word infuses the extracts and sound collages taken from different French movies looped into a broken tape player. The result is one of the most mysterious and sough-after Japanese '80s underground record.
