Today, we are listening to The Wolfgang Press and the incredible track Executioner… Enjoy…

—

The netlabel will release soon the compilation of old tracks by Carbone & Diamants… La Fresto is trying to remaster them. A very hard work ! We are planning a reworked album of these tracks after the release of the compilation with a contemporary touch.

[O&G_044] La Fresto – No end – No beginning. 5th album by La Fresto. No end – No beginning is like a spiral that is taking time to create possibilities. There is just two songs in french (No end – No beginning and Alan’s Trip). The art cover is a reworked paint by the artist with letters deliberately cut. That is the reason of this album : there is no end because there was no beginning… “A spiral“, says La Fresto !
Alan Tenderfoot has written the words of the song Alan’s Trip, like a report of a trip in United States of America.

track listing :

1. No end – No beginning
2. Bad Time (Short Edit)
3. The White Boat
4. Never Everglades
5. Alan’s Trip (Long Version)
6. Pendulum
7. Endlessly
8. Robots Wouldn’t Go To Be Sad
9. Someone Something Somewhere
10. Let Your Phone Have An Opinion
11. I Feel
12. Seeking Solace
13. Slow My End

[O&G_043] La Fresto – Never Everglades ep. This is a basic rock track by La Fresto, in approximate english like he assumes to say. This represents a real turning point in his discography.  That’s also the reason why it was difficult to choose the cover art. There is three artworks. The first is a declination of the original work by Nokydesign, the second’s a standard portrait of the artist and the last, this one, is a paint by La Fresto.

About the songs… Never Everglades is an own tribute to the beat literature. The summer version of We Are Falling is an extract of the album session, recorded just after the first version that we can hear on Robots Wouldn’t Go To Be Sad ep. Let Your Phone Have No Voice is the demo version of the album track Let Your Phone Have An Opinion. And, Les Falaises is a french song that talking about fake suicide, recorded at the beginning of the album session.

1. Never Everglades

[O&G_041] La Fresto – Robots Wouldn’t Go To Be Sad. First ep from the 5th album by La Fresto, No end – No beginning.
