about

Benoît Pioulard’s monumental EP ‘May’ was originally released through his imprint, ‘Disques d'Honoré | BHP-03’ digitally and as a strictly limited edition cassette that quickly sold out.

This LP features the May EP in its entirety (side a) and the ‘Atra’ EP, which encompasses four brand new, previously unreleased tracks (side b). Atra is Latin for "black" ; this collection is intended to be a blustery penumbra against the verdancy of the May EP.

+++

"Picture yourself in a boat on a river, as the song goes. Benoit Pioulard solidifies the carelessness of an idle day with May / Atra, an LP as blissful as the day is long. Limited to a worldwide release of 200 copies, ambient label and music blog Past Inside The Present give first utterance to Pioulard’s formless craft, the boundless expanse of materials melting away as time elapses gently into memory." --BLEEP
