Trifid Project - Trifid Project (2001)

Perhaps it's time to share some summer vibes, with the weather outside being so nice and today being the first of June. James Plotkin teams up with a few french fellows, namely Matthieu Maire of Celluloïd Mata, Sheila Mata and Marie & Yves Daubert.

The result is a catchy 22-minute disc of fluffy avantgarde electronica. Floating ambient soundscapes, crunchy beats, bleeps and bloops, unprocessed guitar strumming and female vocalisations.

Although I'm no expert on this kind of electronic experimentation, and I originally grabbed the release solely because of Plotkin, I found myself listening to this repeatedly. Especially the "spending the day at the beach, feeling the sand between your toes"-vibe had me smiling. Il fait du soleil. Ethereal, atmospheric and uplifting stuff.
