Hors Sujet Announces New Album Avec la Distance out June 10

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 3rd, 2019 by JJ Koczan

What makes Hors Sujet stand out in my mind from the hordes of single-person ambient/drone outfits out there is the evocative and emotional resonance of the work. There’s an experimentalist side to it, of course, but listening to “À l’œil baigné par la mer” from the new album, Avec la Distance, it’s clear that Florent Paris, who indeed is the only individual behind the project, is putting that experimentalism to a purpose of expression. That makes it even less of a surprise that Hors Sujet has been tapped for live soundtracks and things of that sort. I can very easily imagine watching a set with some film or other as a backdrop — closed captioning on, of course.

The new album — he calls it an EP, but it’s over 50 minutes long, so yeah, that’s an album in my book — will be out June 10 and available digitally through Bandcamp and the other usual suspect purveyors. There’s a teaser playing now that barely scratches the surface of the depths portrayed in Hors Sujet‘s sound, but I mean, take what you can get, I guess. In any case, think of it as one to keep in your head, even if you’re not always into this kind of thing.

Hors Sujet – ‘Avec la distance’ new album release 06/10/19

The France-based musical project Hors Sujet is proud to announce the release of its new album, Avec la distance. This new album composed by Florent Paris, marks through 54 minutes of music a new turning point in the musical project’s career.

Intimate and cathartic, this album deals sometimes with the rhythmic and lonely struggle between wind and tides, sometimes the implacable silence of absence.

The soundscape is drawn through multiple audio cassettes, field recordings, synthesizers and ethereal guitars in a great emotional release.

The official release will be on June 10, 2019, and the EP will be available on musical platforms (Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes).

Hors Sujet is the personal and musical project of Florent Paris, mainly fluctuating between post-rock, instrumental ambient, drone, doom and experimental. As soon as EPs, albums and live concerts were stated, Hors Sujet started to contribute to a lot of various artistic projects, such as cine-concerts, video live performance, original soundtracks, contemporary dance plays…

‘Avec la distance’ songs & artwork are composed, recorded, mixed & mastered by Florent Paris
Voices – Guillaume Bec
Saxophones – Géraldine Pallu
