The Dead Mauriacs' music is a journey into post-industrial landscapes, nonsensical hörspiel, concrete exotica, Ballardian dystopia: a joyful nightmare. It is Olivier Prieur's art and music project -- primarily a solo act, but occasionally a collective with the addition of nice and lovely people such as Susan Matthews, Vincent Domeyne, Thorsten Soltau, Jan Warnke, and Michael Esposito -- with recent and forthcoming releases on Discrepant, NPH, and Geräuschmanufaktur. The Dead Mauriacs: field recordings, real and fake piano, files, computer, music. Cassette only; Edition of 75.

Mysterious French outfit The Dead Mauriacs return to Discrepant in full exotic wind force after their sell-out cassette, Cocktails Pour La Fin Des Temps (2016). Beauté Des Mirages picks up on the same themes of frantic, abstract exotica and concrete cocktails the French act is known for. Running for two, long 18-minute sides full of fake(?) vintage atmospheres and armchair jungle hallucinations, Beauté Des Mirages is an abstract journey into a beautiful (and sometimes scary) world of mirages. All perfectly illustrated by yet another mesmerizing artwork collage by US artist Evan Crankshaw.
