Gonna keep it going with French dudes and their audio bong hits. This tune comes from a more hip/less fantastical source — Jean-Benoit Dunckel, taking a little solo break from Air. All Music Guide characterizes this one as a "cybernetically enhanced George Harrison song," and I'd say that's about right. Except that George's voice never sounded so noncommittal about its gender.

Continuing the " indie intrigues ," here are picks from a couple of albums I just picked up. They're technically not new, with the exception of Ratatat's just-released LP3 , but they're still new listening for me. To represent the only fresh music of the bunch, I selected the quirky, intriguing "Mirando" from Ratatat's entirely instrumental new album. Going back more than five years, Saint Etienne are rarely off their game, as the bouncy "Soft Like Me" from 2002's Finisterre ably demonstrates. A bit more [...]
Somehow, while nobody was looking, the food industry managed to sell a truly horrendous lie to you, me, and the rest of the world. I'm talking, of course, about the sun-dried tomato. This shriveled red menace has become particularly ubiquitous over the last decade as a trendy topping for pasta dishes, pizzas, and sandwiches. What nobody has the guts to point out is that these things are nothing more than chewy crimson lies. "Sun-dried"? Really? And when was the last time you saw somebody laying tomato slices out in the sun? A heat [...]
It's taken me awhile to get acquainted with the solo debut of DARKEL , one half of the French electro duo AIR. The self-titled album was released way back in September 2006 and I have only just given it a spin for the first time. Wow. I love it so much better than the latest Air album. Check out the album's lead-off track 'Be My Friend'. DOWNLOAD - Darkel - Be My Friend (mp3) DARKEL - ' At the End of the Sky' (Music Video)
Darkel is the delectable solo project of Jean-Benoît Dunckel who is one half of the French duo Air . The full length album of the same name was released late 2006 and is filled with 10 audio dreams capes to fulfill any ambient electronica fans hunger. The track ' Be My Friend ' is also being released on Kitsune Maison 4 compilation. MP3: Darkel - Be My Friend You can stream more stack via Jean's myspace page or get your [...]

In 2006 The Sky Drops recorded and released our debut EP Clouds of People, toured the Midwest and Eastern Seaboard, played several shows in London, and started preparing new songs for our next release for early 2007. I had less time than usual for seeking out new bands but I quite enjoyed the "don't call [...]

Would you believe me if I said there was an album just recently released from one of the members from Air ? Well, believe it because that's what we have from Jean-Benoit Dunckel - one half of the duo that comprises Air . I actually had no clue about this release at all, so thanks to Torr for the heads up. Released under the name of Darkel just last month, you wonder if the use of this name was to avoid anyone knowing [...]

I'm sure that most of you have heard about Air's upcoming album , but did you also know that Jean-Benoit Dunkel -- one of the duo -- also has released some of his own material under the name Darkel ? It's ... what you'd expect, I guess. Like Air without all those neat-o harmonies and a little simpler ... less layering, orchestration, and depth. Hey, I'm making it sound bad, and that it certainly is not. Check out his MySpace page and judge for yourself! I recently came across this [...]

Las pocas veces que veo televisión suelo acabar en Fly Music, la verdad es que tienen una programación de videos que coincide con mis gustos en un porcentaje muy elevado. Lo último que he conocido gracias a ellos es Darkel, cuyo video musical de la canción at the end of the sky me llamó la atención. Bajo este nombre se esconde Jean Benoit Dunkel, que supongo que será francés, pero tampoco lo se a ciencia cierta, ya que la información es un poco escasa. El caso es que tiene un único album publicado este [...]
Şu an farkediyorum ki, son yazılarımdan ikisi (bunu da sayarsak üçü), sevdiğim grupların bir üyesinin solo çalışması işle ilgili olmuş. Thom Yorke, Albert Hammond Jr., ve şimdi de iki Air insanından biri olan, Jean Benoit Dunckel- a.k.a. "Darkel". Biliyorsunuz ki burnu havada Fransızlarımız 2004 yılında Nigel Godrich prodüktörlüğünd e Talkie Walkie isimli harika bir albüm koymuşlardı ortaya.
