  • Piemont goes to strange worlds beyond image
  • Piemont is set to release their debut full-length on My Best Friend early next year. The album, titled Strange Worlds Beyond, will feature new and unreleased tracks from the duo of Christian de Jonquières and Frederic Moering-Sack. That's a surprise, considering the boys have put out three 12-inches on the imprint in 2008 alone. But they've also included some of their club hits to garnish the new joints: "Black Smoker," "Superheated," "Carbonat" and "Central Mouth" are all set to appear on the CD, which includes 14 tracks altogether. The sound, as you might expect, is mighty similar to their work on the label thus far—"funky rocking moments of clubbiness" is the term that the press notes use—along with some moments of distinctly abstract beat-driven fare like "Loss of Focus" and emotional techno like "Died Out." For a listen and glimpse of Sevra & Stas' video for the duo's recent single, "Central Mouth," take a look below. Tracklist 01. Intro 02. Cages Or Snares 03. Lighter Than Seawater 04. Carbonat 05.

Lowest Layer My Best Friend will release Piemont's Strange World Beyond on January 19, 2009.
