Perrine en Morceaux
Pop and poetry
France
P.E.M is all about song-making. I am searching for what pop could possibly mean other than the stupid(ifying) machine it became. Repetition is the first operation in my music for repetition knows no time & no cause, but it is also its #1 enemy. I conceive of a song as a home-made weapon with more or less pieces to assemble, for the use of all. These songs want to be pop but they refuse to give in to time. 
Perrine’s music has been described as “Kraut-Pop-Opera” and we think that sums it up properly. Perrine reminds us of everything we love about Nico, Throbbing Gristle, and Bjork without sounding like anyone but herself. She creates swirling analog textures that pulse through changing rhythms. She also uses her voice as an instrument, layering herself with different effects, singing in different languages, so as to create a overall wall of sound. We are thrilled to present Rien in North America as the first New Los International release, a series of collaborations that we have planned with like-minded labels across the globe.
Mathias Delplanque
Improvised music
France
Mathias Delplanque (born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in 1973) is a composer, a performer, an improviser, a music critic, an author of sound installations, a teacher, a composer for theater and dance and the founding member of several musical ensembles. He lives and works in Nantes (France). Mathias’s sound work takes on several main lines and develops through different identities. As Lena, he produces a kind of clubby electronic music strongly influenced by jamaïcan music and Berlin dubby techno. The works done under his own name (developed on records, performances or sound installations, and being either based on field recordings or containing instrumental parts) all directly deal with the question of the relation between space and music : music as architecture, spaces made out of sound etc…
