Following their mini-album "Solnze" (out on Talitres late 2015), we are happy to announce today the release of the Utro’s new album simply entitled "Third Album", nov. 10th, 2017.

Formed by Vladislav Parshin, in Rostov-On-Don (Motorama) in 2010. Утро | Utro became known in Russia for it’s experimental instrumentation, minimalist approach of the music and existential / spiritual lyrics in Russian language.
Утро plays post-punk (or no wave) with a specific Soviet spirit to develop its own identity.
Dark bass lines, addictive drums and keyboards, incantatory vocals, "Third Album" is a collection of songs that were written in the period of 2015-2017 in Rostov-on-Don.

Lovingly remastered vinyl reissue of The Apartments’ chamber-pop masterpiece ’drift’

The Apartments second album drift was universally praised by the critic when released in 1993. Talitres did a CD reissue late 2010, and we are happy to announce that the vinyl edition (half speed mastered) is available from our webstore, any good record stores or digital platforms.
Composed in London where Peter Milton Walsh then lived, it is a collection of unclassified dark pieces, a timeless masterpiece, the remarkable class of a songwritter, the obsessional record of an aching mind.

"I had a simple story to tell, a set of characters who drifted in and out of not just the songs but each other’s lives..." Peter Milton Walsh

the Apartments ‘drift’ (vinyl)
Face A : 1. the goodbye train - 2. on every corner - 3. mad cow - 4. nothing stops it - 5. over Retour ligne automatique
Face B : 1. knowing you were loved - 2. places where the night is long - 3. all his stupid friends - 4. could I hide here ? (a little while) - 5. what’s left of your nerve

Talitres welcomes new-york duo R. Missing

On October 20, new-yorked based vocalist Sharon Shy and musician Toppy aka R. Missing will release their debut mini-album "Unsummering" on Talitres.

"Unsummering", the first release under their new moniker R. Missing, expands on The Ropes’ previous palette of Morrissey tinged lyrics and darkwave. It manages to be even more isolated lyrically than their famously nihilistic previous work, fully embracing complete detachment. Musically, fraught guitar and synth textures paint an image of an unstable world, held together only by tightly quantized electronic drum beats.

"Unsummering" available for pre-order (White Vinyl, Ltd Edition / Vinyl / CD / Digital) from the Talitres webstore.

"Mysterious darkwave entity R. Missing is making a case for shadowy alternative music that is infused with hazily deadpan female vocals, gleaming electronics, crisp beats, and noir synthesizer diffusion." The Big Take Over

"dance track for goths" Impose Magazine

"a hazy, danceable, synth-driven funeral march." ABC News

R. Missing ’Unsummering’ | 1. Unsummering - 2. Kelly Was A Philistine - 3. Deeper Holes - 4. Birthright - 5. Mostly Back - 6. Mouser

The band was supposed to play a couple of french shows ( + Brussels at Le Botanique) late october, but we are sad to announce today that these tour dates are cancelled due to health problems. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment caused to fans, but that decision has not been taken lightly.

Thanks in advance for your undestanding and support, and we hope to give you some better news in the near future.
