Fille Qui Mousse – Esplanade

This French band were on the legendary Nurse With Wound list, and it was also rumoured at one point that the band were completely fabricated by NWW (with the fact that the word “Stapleton” was in the bands album title). However, it turned out that the band were very much a real entity who released just one album, 1971’s  ‘Trixie Stapleton 291 –  Se Taire Pour Une Femme Trop Belle’. It’s a strange affair, although not always entirely successful. This track, however, is wonderful, and one can see how Stapleton and co could groove to something like this. The track opens with a serrated, phased effect, before a woman recounts a tale in French whilst dogs bark throughout. There is something very effecting about this despite its staggering simplicity. This then cuts into a thick sheet of demented noise, which continues unrelenting until it simply stops.
