about

Yoff EP is a bonus release featuring alternative versions of tracks from the French producer Franz Kirmann's hauntingly beautiful fourth album Madrapour, which was released on Bytes in October, along with two brand new tracks.

“When I make an album, I try to tell a story, to create a world for the listener to enter. Most of the time on Madrapour was spent trying to understand the story I wanted to tell and that comes through experiments and trying things out. The Yoff EP is made of these experiments, it presents the beginning of the story I abandoned and I thought it would be interesting to present these versions of Salem and Neo Yoff in their early incarnations before I decided to go into another direction”

'Yoff' and 'Salem Sound System' are deeply psychedelic reworkings of the album's opening tracks, 'Neo Yoff' and 'Salem', with the heavy tribal drums and discordant melodies making it the perfect soundtrack for a fucked-up ayahuasca experience in a remote jungle location.

On the previously unreleased live jam 'Persona', minimal, jerky drums underpin textured, cinematic synths, while 'Duster' is the perfect coda to Madrapour, a short but sweet blast of the reverb-drenched, fuzzy melodies that have typified the project.

As it's nearly Christmas, Franz has kindly agreed that we can give the EP away for free as a thank you for all your support for Bytes in our first year of existence. However, if you fancy giving us a quid we can have extra Brussels sprouts with our Christmas turkey (or vegan alternative).

Joyeux Noel!
