Kitsuné Maison 9: The Cotton Issue
April 7, 2010 Posted by Eva at 10:06 am
Another brand new fine album from Kitsuné, full of inspiration from a child called ‘Yume’. Indeed here is officially the most snuggly, peaceful, motherly Kitsuné compilation until now – soft as cotton. In the midst of one of the worst winters Paris has known for a long time and with so many conflicts all around, there was a need to reach out for a calming and tender nature. As a result this new compilation brings you almost as much comfort as taking a newly born in your arms and giving him a cuddle.
A fully padded compilation that’s rather more candid, innocent and carefree than the norm, and which is still inviting the listener to shake his hips. The kindliness of a home (Maison) forever opened to all kinds of ideas. Suddenly a new transversal approach shapes up with this compilation attractive to ears of all ages. Rested, serene, more contemplative, with a selection that’s probably more geared at Sunday afternoon than Saturday night, more ‘yuzu green tea’ than stupid ‘alcopops’. Sure there are a few hysterical sirens in the Jupiter track, but It sure is something that you’ll have your ears glued to.

Kitsuné Tabloid mixed by Phoenix
April 6, 2009 Posted by Eva at 6:49 pm
“As teenagers we would be excited to read bands’ playlists…So we’ve really taken to heart doing this compilation for Kitsune…Today you can get anything you like but way back it could take up to three years to lay your hands on a rare track.” –Laurent Brancowitz
Kitsuné have given free reins to the boys from Phoenix for an unlikely yet amazing compilation of rare tracks that have changed their lives. Following in the footsteps of Digitalism, Phoenix’s Thomas Mars and Laurent Brancowitz carefully selected 18 tracks to make this the most sentimental and melodic record ever released on Kitsuné (better known for its electro-oriented Kitsuné Maison compilation and for artists like Digitalism, Cazals and autoKratz).
One of the most important French bands of recent times, Phoenix have gathered, in their own words, “little treasures that have had this huge impact and amazed us”. Known for three original albums of flawless indie-pop concotions that include the hits If I Ever Feel Better, Too Young, Everything is Everything, Run Run Run, Long Distance Call and Napoleon Says, their songs were also featured on the iconic Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette soundtracks.
For Tabloid they have chosen tracks as diverse as Chris Bell‘s I Am the Cosmos (“the only track I’ve ever stolen”), Lo Borges’ Aos Baroes (“will turn upside down a few lives”), Richie Valens’ In a Turkish Town, The Impressions‘ I’ve Been Trying (“the height of musical tenderness”), Roxy Music’s Pyjamarama, The 13th Floor Elevators’ I Had to Tell You, Dirty Projectors’ Rise Above, and Lou Reed Street Hassle (“the centre-piece of the compilation”).
Spanning over half a century from rock antiques to futuristic pop, it’s a must have for Phoenix fans, musical adventurers, Francophiles and time travellers alike.
Tracklisting:
- Kiss – Love Theme From Kiss
- Dirty Projectors – Rise Above
- The Red Crayola – Victory Garden
- The Impressions – I’ve Been Trying
- Chris Bell – I Am The Cosmos
- Roxy Music – Pyjamarama
- The 13th Floor Elevators – I Had To Tell You
- Elvis Costello & The Attractions – Shipbuilding
- D’Angelo – Send It On
- Tangerine Dream – Love On A Real Train
- Urge Overkill – Stull (Part 1)
- Lô Borges – Aos Barões
- Iggy Pop & James Williamson – Master Charge
- Dennis Wilson – Lady (Falling in Love)
- Irma Thomas – It’s Raining
- Ritchie Valens – In A Turkish Town
- Dusty Springfield – I Think It’s Gonna Rain Today
- Lou Reed – Street Hassle

Kitsuné Maison Compilation 6
December 22, 2008 Posted by admin at 6:02 pm
The Kitsuné Maison selection is back for its 6th edition! Since 2005, the Kitsuné Maison series is basically the combination of what gets played in the Kitsuné offices in Paris, what label heads Gildas & Masaya spin at the few parties they deejay at, and what stands out from the promising new contacts they pick up all over the world.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what is the Kitsuné sound, but to those unfamiliar with the previous 5 Maison releases, the number of scene-changing artists the compilations have featured reads like an encyclopaedia of the best indie and electronica of the past few years – Architecture In Helsinki, Bloc Party, Crystal Castles, Dragonette, Foals, Gossip, Hot Chip, Joakim, Klaxons, Late Of The Pier, Metronomy, Riot In Belgium, Simian Mobile Disco, VHS Or Beta, The Whip, and Yelle – most of whom were featured on a Maison before anyone knew who they were.
If there is a Kitsuné sound, it keeps on evolving towards a more melodic sound. It’s a sound that can be violent, almost aggressive, but also haunting and melancholic…or all of this at once.
This time contributions come from Australia (with etcetc’s own PNAU, Beni and newcomers Ted & Francis) the old Europe, the USA…from all over really. Some of the featured artists are signed and glorious, others are virtually unknown and live in bedsits. Some will release their future albums on Kitsuné and others already have A&Rs in search of the next big thing biting their nails.
It’s Kitsuné Maison 6 – you can listen to it ‘à la maison’, or anywhere else for that matter.
