La Porte, the second studio album by Charlotte Kouklia aka Charlène Darling, finds the artist and her group building a self-contained musical world via French and English language vocals, and a minimalist backing of guitar, organ, bass and drums. At times recalling the feminist post-punk of The Raincoats, the avant songcraft of Brigitte Fontaine, or the psychedelic vignettes of Cate Le Bon, in truth Charlène Darling sounds like herself. The arrangements are playfully experimental, dubbed out percussion bubbling over the stripped back instrumentation, or rough tape edits disrupting lush harmonies, but never losing sight of the earworm hooks that make these songs so addictively listenable. Step through the door and walk right in. Charlotte is one quarter of the band Rose Mercie. After a beguiling series of DIY tape and CD-R releases, her first widely distributed solo album, Saint-Guidon, was released in 2019.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Voice Recording 2022-03-09_11-42-00 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Voice Recording 2022-03-09_11-42-00 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Disparais \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Disparais \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Tout S'efface \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Tout S'efface \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Les Gros Chevaux \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Les Gros Chevaux \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Au Fleuve \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Au Fleuve \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Abril Terra \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Abril Terra \u003cbr\u003e1.13 La Chanson Du Regard \u003cbr\u003e1.14 La Chanson Du Regard \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Out at Sea \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Out at Sea \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Encore Un Soir \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Encore Un Soir \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Une Nuit Sans Amour \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Une Nuit Sans Amour\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Charlhne Darling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40413626236999,"sku":"44062811","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4274863-3087200_ac9c154d-1ad2-48f6-8310-e4778004887d.jpg?v=1770205461","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/charlhne-darling-la-porte","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
