For fans of… CAN, Tangerine Dream, Boards of Canada
L’Eclair is a cosmic instrumental six piece from Geneva, Switzerland. Their origins an be traced back to 2015 when, while studying in London, keyboardist Sebastian Bui and guitarist Stefan Lilov recorded several demos together in their hotel room. Hearing something special in this batch of songs, they returned to Geneva and enlisted Yavor Lilov (drums), Alain Sandri (percussion, keyboard), Quentin Pilet (percussion) and Elie Ghersinu (bass) to flesh out these ideas into a fully fledged band. The relentless grooves, classic tones and silky smooth melodies were instantly present and L’Eclair.
A band as kinetic as L’Eclair cannot stay idle. So when the Pandemic hit, they stayed true to form and began recording a new album. With their former albums usually recorded in a manner of days, live to tape, they took a decidedly different approach with this LP. Recorded in four sessions spread across nine months, the group and their trusted engineer (and manager) were able to spend more time, energy and consideration on the production. This new approach gave them the ability to reflect and revise, allowing them to focus more on composition, arrangements and structures The result is their fourth album Confusions: a sprawling hour-long, 12 track record – their most diverse, concise and focused effort to date.
