Reptile ReptileS, Gary Farmer - All Things Return to One (2025) [Hi-Res]

Weathered Americana soundscaping by Alexandre Bazin (GRM, Umor Rex) & Clément Beauvais’ Reptile Reptiles, voiced by Gary Farmer in homage to his role in Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man.

“All Things Return to One is the debut LP from Reptile Reptiles, the project helmed by Alexandre Bazin and Clément Beauvais that ventures into new narrative territories through a fusion of music, sound design, image and poetry.

For their first album, the duo collaborated with Indigenous actor Gary Farmer, whose evocative voice brings to life the journey of a soul returning to the land of spirits. Each track represents a stage of this ethereal passage, with Farmer’s voice, weaving a meditative, long-form poem, guiding the spirit through its successive transitions toward its ultimate destination.

Paying homage to Gary Farmer’s iconic portrayal of Nobody in Jim Jarmusch’s film Dead Man, All Things Return to One expands into a rich auditory landscape, where Alexandre Bazin’s ambient layers and textures intertwine with Clément Beauvais’ nuanced guitar work and symbolic writing. Together, they create a distinct grammar of sound that is profoundly experimental, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a contemplative, emotional sonic journey.”
