'An illustrator and librarian by day, Montreal artist Fumerolles (Frédérique Duval) uses keyboards, effects boxes and homemade synth modules to craft a uniquely organic and benevolent form of electronic music. 'Nuit jaune' is her debut EP (released digitally on Kinnta records in 2018) and we love it so much that we broke our regional mandate and reached out to ask if she’d be interested in a limited cassette release. Not only did she agree, but in talking with Frederique and her partner Christian Richer (Element Kuuda), we discovered a world of shared interests and inspirations, in particular a fondness for 70s punk, DIY instruments, woodworking, library music, and an ongoing admiration for the work of the late Norm Chambers.

Recorded during the heatwave of 2018, 'Nuit jaune' is a fittingly hazy collection of synth miniatures, reminiscent at times of Tangerine Dream, Cluster, and of course, Panabrite. What sets it apart is the gentle assuredness of Duval’s arrangements and playing. Tracks like 'Cyclique' and 'Ptero' unfold leisurely, spreading out slowly into waves of synthetic delight. On 'Pulmo', a lone synth voice croons gently to itself like a lowing calf, while 'Sismographe' follows a gentle arpeggio deep into a forest of 70s string machines. In the end 'Nuit jaune' feels less like a new release and more like a lost gem from a bygone age.' - Hotham Sound Recordings

Fumerolles is the music project of Montreal based artist, Frédérique Duval. Zine maker as ma main au feu and half of Avalahm, her music is a mixture of soundscapes and sweet melodies sucked in an electronic storm of cosmic textures. In Nuit jaune you can hear a shade of library music and Super Mario 64 like mist somewhere in the background.
