Bataille Solaire - Baal Shamash et Son Char Céleste
Asäel Robitaille drifted listeners into an earthbound psych-pop lull on The Lemon Tape, but on this solo expedition he fires up the thrusters into uncharted space. Time-shifting arpeggios and soft comets of synth create a vessel for his sidelong explorations, seamlessly flowing from one zone to the next. Montreal main-stay Félix Morel contributes a perfectly tripped collage for the foldout, part Mati Klarwein and part Barbarella. A+ all around.
