Bliss N Eso

With a first single called Woodstock 2008 and album art that looks like it could grace the front cover of a Hawkwind LP, Bliss N Eso's third album 'Flying Colours' makes an unexpected first impression.

"This is a freedom album for us," declares Max MacKinnon aka MC Esoterik. "We can do as many anthems about getting pissed and having a good time and partying," but with this album it's time for Eso and fellow MC Bliss to "talk about us."

Camille
Music Hole
EMI


Camille caught a bit of attention in 2006 for Ta Douleur, and the year following for the Australian release of its album of origin, 'Le Fil' - a somewhat experimental album which used a gentle, monotone drone to connect each of the songs. In reality, most of the songs still followed a fairly predictable structure, even if they made impressive use of Camille's voice. Her third album and first English language release, 'Music Hole', feels much freer than 'Le Fil' did. The vocal experiments are still there - Camille layers her voice over itself, babbles, squeals, mumbles and shouts - but by shedding the avant-garde concepts she subsequently sounds much freer than she has at any point in the past, and 'Music Hole' becomes an exciting exploration of a variety of styles of music.
