Review: Rues Des Garderies, Rues Des Garderies, Rues Des Garderies. Desire Bonaventure & Zach, two to watch on the Parisian alternative electronic scene, make a case for themselves in everything from EP title to the delivery of individual tracks. Opening on bathtub-level hazy bliss, 'Deus Custoviat', we're quickly absorbed into this warm melting pot of noises. 'Soulseekerz' makes it clear that this is undoubtedly a journey, sound evolving from one another, an arrangement that speaks to the last and the next in joyful, beautiful refrains. Drone in the technical but not necessarily implied sense. Later, we get 'Gurum Nation', yet another example of chill & bass' resurgence, and the most uptempo piece of the pack so far. Regardless of individual specifics, though, you're still getting something complete here. Ambient, experimental, whatever. Ultimately it's music for a mood.
