Hidden Shoal Recordings have announced the digital pre-release of Deuxième Bureau, the sophomore album by German minimal electro maestro Jumpel.
Deuxième Bureau is a further refinement of the Jumpel sound so wonderfully displayed on debut album Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach. Like perfectly fabricated ecosystems, each track is a luscious miniature environment complete with its own microclimate and prismatic inhabitants. The attention to detail in the music is consistently astonishing, rewarding close listening with a good pair of headphones. Deuxième Bureau is a fabric of intimate moments – some parts woven tightly, others open to the air – and an enticing invitation to explore Jumpel’s delicate and immersive ambient micro-pop.
“Jumpel brings a wealth of musical and life experience to this meticulously crafted debut album… intimate despite its broad spectrum of instrumental colour and occasional cinematic ambiance” – Textura on SJLOTB
Deuxième Bureau is now available digitally from the HSR Store and all good digital music stores such as iTunes, eMusic and Amazon. The album will see its official CD release mid-February. Jumpel’s first album Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach is also available in digital format through Hidden Shoal Recordings. Check the HSR Store for all availability and distribution information.
