More news this month from our lovely friends at Hisstology:

Hisstology is pleased to announce our second release of the year: “As The Suntanned Shared A Toast” by Heroes & Villains.

This one was recorded by all three members of H&V (Dominique, Jeremy and Charif) in various cities spanning 4 continents in late 2012. It was compiled in Mogadishu, Somalia last month and is Heroes & Villains’ 10th album. Will not wax poetic about the theme of this LP here, the lyrics and titles speak for themselves.

Hisstology presents “œ” by Heroes & Villains

Posted in News & Events, tagged , , , , on February 8, 2012| Leave a Comment »

A word from our lovely friends at Hisstology, encountered this morning while sipping a less-than-average morning coffee:

Dear all,

A quick, mandatory – albeit belated – beginning of the year message to wish you all the best for 2012. No exclamation mark needed for such things.

Most importantly, HISSTOLOGY is happy to announce Heroes & Villains‘s new LP, entitled “œ”.

For non-French speakers, it is pronounced ‘e dans l’o’ or ‘oeufs dans l’eau’. It was recorded on 14 tracks in Nairobi and no computer was involved in the making of the record. The cover artwork integrates a picture of rarely encountered members of the Amazonian tribe Mashco-Piro (the photograph was released during the recording’s week-long session). They never asked to be photographed.

You can stream/download H&V’s “œ” here:   http://hisstology.bandcamp.com/album/oe
