Le Diable Degoutant/the Universal Veil
Naia La Sorciere De Rochefort-en-terre
Folklore Tapes' first foray into overseas finds them in a rural Breton village known as Rochefort-en-Terre. Once inhabited by the renowned witch Naïa, who along with her 'spirit stick' familiar 'Gnami' cured ills, cursed locals, split in two and crushed hot coals into dust! 'Naïa' is a collaboration with Brittany arts group Le Bon Acceuil and features two distinct sonic explorations into the infamous witch, largely based around the article and photography of Charles Géniaux. Face A is by Breton musician Pauline Marx AKA Le Diable Dégoûtant, Face B is by UK group Le Voile Universel (The Universal Veil) AKA Sam McLoughlin and David Chatton Barker. Housed in a litho-printed sleeve with obi-strip. Liner notes in French and English. Each copy comes with a pressed leaf from the 'Naïa Tree' in Rochefort-en-Terre. Comes with download code. Limited to 300 copies.
