"The first volume of the Three:Four Records Split Series gathers two mesmeric drone guitar lovers, the newly arrived French project :take: coming from Paris and the Chicago based combo White/Lichens. Two different approaches of drone music: soft and melodic for :take:, loud and unbridled for the Chicagoans. The A-side is composed of two :take:'s tracks. 'Paysage avec Fer' evokes desert landscapes shaped by interlaced sine tone and minimalist guitar manipulation. It's a 5 minute abstract guitar drone and epic effort. 'Joie de Résistance' offers another side of :take:'s work. A bluesy guitar, melodic guitar patterns. The track ends with a repetitive beat leading to a hypnotic trance. The B-side is a massive 10 minute piece by White/Lichens. 'Tonight's the Night' is a growing deflagration, powerful and loud. The intensity is magnified by a psyche reverbed guitar. Listening to it is as fascinating as waiting for a hurricane to come." Numbered edition of 500 copies with download postcard.

"Err on the Good Side is the first volume of a compilation series devoted to musicians, programmers, reviewers, disc sellers or whoever involved in music activities that we love. We offer them the opportunity to share their passion for it by curating a record. For this first volume we have asked ali_fib, the most interesting and adventurous gig promoter in Paris, to handle it. The result, Err on the Good Side, reflects their own musical tastes and friendships. Except 'Chambre 1,' Ilitch's introductory track (which was released in 2005 as part of Thierry Müller's limited-edition picture disc, Rainy House) and Amen Dunes' contribution 'Diane' (here offered in its extended version; an alternative take will be released by Locust Music), this record is made of previously unreleased material and has been compiled using a very simple idea of symmetry: most of the tracks here have been assembled as pairs based on musical affinities." Featuring Sir Richard Bishop, Duane Pitre, El-G, Steve Gunn, Ben Nash, Hitch, Mike Wexler and more. Numbered edition of 504 copies with glossy insert and download postcard.

"Here is the second volume of our split series that highlights 2 two-man bands living in two different cities. Whereas The Fun Years live in different parts of the United States, .cut is based in Montreal and Lyon, where Gibet, Albérick's accomplice, lives. Musically, this record gathers two of the most exciting laptop & guitar duets. On the A side, The Fun Years presents a particularly interesting score. Despite the short length of the support, their effort is presented as a real album, with an intro ('Am I Having A Stroke?') and an end ('We Don't Need No Fucking Theme Songs'). Between these two tracks, three various songs are unfolding, revealing The Fun Years' huge potential. On the B side, .cut featuring Gibet offer two tracks in different formats but with equal intensity. With their mix of meditative atmospheres leading to introspection and oppressive and violent elements against martial sounds. The band's radical approach glorifies the darkness, to the extent that it seems either sublime or unendurable." Numbered edition of 489 copies with download postcard.
