RELEASE DATE

After the re-discovery of
Tranquil Eyes
' 1985
Walks
cassette in 2012 (OS 015LP) and the 2014 release of
Frozen Ducks
' work (OS 023LP), OnderStroom Records presents another dazzling project from
Lex Grauwen
.
Cheiron
is a collaboration between Grauwen, who plays all the instruments and produced all the music, and
José van Waveren
, who sings distinctively.
Land After Life
aims for the dancefloor with its high-energy minimal synth and electro stylings. In the mid-'80s Lex Grauwen was asked to participate in the
Pas de Deux
LP (1985), a legendary new wave compilation album featuring
Bene Gesserit
,
Algebra Suicide
, and
Psyclones
. Grauwen asked his high school sweetheart, José van Waveren, to join up for a few songs. "Land After Life" was chosen for the compilation and, years later, took on a life of its own on the internet. "Serenity World," recorded during the same sessions, is equally spellbinding and beautiful. It was released in an edited mix on the 1987
L'embrasse
compilation cassette (Top Tape). The third song recorded, "Finally Free Four," is a previously unreleased solo composition by van Waveren. Grauwen and van Waveren had been making music before, though, and one of those older tracks is "No Trace," from '81-'82. Shortly after
Pas de Deux
, they tried to record some more tracks, but the demos were never really finished. A while later Grauwen asked
Paul Oosterbaan
of Tranquil Eyes and
Ruud Braumuller
of
Beatnik Love Affair
to help finish these tracks. The results are "Your Life, Your Body" (also a van Waveren solo piece) and "Ping Pong," the last recorded track. In the 2000s, van Waveren began performing as singer-songwriter devoted to French chanson.
