It’s been a dog’s age, ladies and gents- or at least it feels like it’s been some time since my last post.\u00a0 Life’s been a bit crazy here, but all is well, and I’m hoping to resume regular activity here soon.\u00a0 With that in mind, here’s a new acquisition originally introduced to me by the always astute St\u00e9phane B. of coldwave.fr<\/a>.\u00a0 Olivier, the singer and guitarist of the band was kind enough to send me a copy and to lend his permission to share the single here with you all.<\/p>\n

This is the lone release by Azile, a French coldwave band from Lyon, home of some of the best bands of the era, including Gestalt, L\u2019Enfance \u00c9ternelle<\/a>, Op\u00e9ra De Nuit<\/a>, etc.\u00a0 The latter is actually an excellent touchstone, as I find some sonic similarities between the A-side of this single and ODN tracks such as “Inviation” and “Karen Lloyd.”\u00a0\u00a0 It’s a short blast of excellent coldwave that I’m glad exists in this world, no matter how obscure.\u00a0 The flip is no slouch either, combining acoustic guitar and churning synth stabs.<\/p>\n

This 7” was self-funded and self-released by the band in 1988, though Olivier mentioned that the band recorded a few more tracks around the same time.\u00a0 I hope to be able to share those with you soon, but in the meantime, here’s the details for this excellent single.<\/p>\n
