Various Artists - Perpignan Burning (2024) [Hi-Res]

Perpignan Burning: the Southern French capital of garage rock in search of the riff. Or as Lou Reed would put it: „You can’t beat two guitars, bass, and drums.“ Content: 27 previously unreleased tracks on the double LP and six digital-only bonus tracks. All tracks on this compilation were recorded in or around Perpignan, France, and go to the musical extremes of an extreme city. Whether garage punks or freakbeat mods, country punks or city rockers, whether pioneers or new to the scene: the only thing that counts is the riff. Pascal Comelade, infamous riff explorer since the 1970s, is the unlikely godfather of this bunch of punks and rockers. He opens the trip with his emblematic cover design and closes it with his own Riffifi orchestra to the ultimate riff of The Stooges’ „I Wanna Be Your Dog“. Foc U.
