After releasing a massive witch housey/distorto-pop double disc with AmDiscs at the end of 2010, French digital singles label Beko have teamed up with La Station Radar to bring you an eleven track psychedelic folk/drone compilation to start the year off.  The line-up on this is as incredible as the AmDiscs split, featuring names like Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier and his luminous reverie; Terror Bird's lush plucked folk;  the angelic hypnotic trance of Gremlynz; the hypnagogic neon fog of Holy Strays; yowling skiffle/skuffle shuffle of Dirty Beaches; the bubbling sweetness of Wet Hair. It reads as a list of several of the names that might rise up out of the underground over the next twelve months, a primer for the coming months, and also, for the moment, will warm you up and shine a light into the cold January darkness.  Great range of sounds across the bands in this release, proving further Beko's awesome ear for addictive and interesting artists - a label of relentless high quality.


On top of the music, La Radar affiliated band Ela Orleans have produced a video to accompany their song, the opening track; Black and White Flight.
