Boy am excited about this release or what?!
La Société des Timides à la Parade des Oiseaux - Mon Nom Est Multitude
Its been such a long time since we heard something as tweaked as this that can sit on the shelf amongst these fine early 80's Ayaa classics like Hellebore Neo Museum et all.
Alain Lebon you did good ! Out on Soleil Mutant very soon.
Wayside Music: "Think Faust, Officer!, Pere Ubu, The Work, This Heat"

"La Societe Des Timides A La Parade Des Oiseaux (translation: Shy Society At The Bird Parade, or La STPO for short) are longstanding arbiters of the far flung French musical fringe. Since 1984, and across many shifting line-ups, they've established a musical voice that takes the effervescence and sly asymmetries of French R.I.O. architects like Albert Marcoeur and Etron Fou Leloublan and refracts them through the lens of both eruptive Pere Ubu-like post punk and the kind of Art Brut song form deconstructions proposed by labels like Ayaa and DDAA's Illusion Productions. The resulting all-knees-and-elbows thrust and parry is then used as a springboard for the glossolalian attack of vocalist Pascal Godjikian and his repertoire of alternately blustering, simpering, hectoring, cajoling and capering histrionics.
