Metra.Vestlud - Coalyqsta
Have you ever wondered about liquid crystals’ consciousness? We bet you haven’t. Then, are you familiar with the concept of panpsychism, the view that all things have a mind or a mind-like quality? Well, you should be pretty curious about it now, and Bamboo Shows may have some of the answers!
Introducing Metra.Vestlud on the label via his ‘Coalyqsta’ LP to pursue the intriguing aesthetic brought to light through the Vapordub compilation earlier this year, the French imprint is now exploring deeper under the iceberg of contemporary psychedelic music. A ten-track generous blend of 80s-90s mellow new age and crystalline HD sound-design, in the true spirit of the eco-futurism vibe.

Various - Vapordub: an introduction to contemporary psychedelic music - vol. 1
Two years after our last V/A, we’re back with the first opus of our ‘Vapordub’ imprint series. Another artifact rising from the depths of the leftfield music scene, this time focused on contemporary psychedelics.
Highly inspired by the textures of the vaporwave sonic aesthetic, this 16–track compilation displays in turns intriguing sound design, graceful synths from a new age, weird exotics and psychoactive slow-dubs.
Designed to please either curious or skilled ears, the various paves the way for a 90-minute mind wandering in distant, fantasized realms. Featuring renowned international artists, up and coming French projects and obscure aliases in the likes of A Strange Wedding & Camille Claire Olympie, Alieno deBootes, Babau, Bouti, Dean O’Brien Resorts…

Naomie Klaus - A Story of a Global Disease
Hey! How was your summer? Did you manage to pass through the tracks of travel restrictions before another gloomy fall? No? Then wipe away your tears and board along with Brussels-based Naomie Klaus.
Through her ‘A Story of a Global Disease’ debut-EP, the French Producer offers a tale about the artificial paradises of globalization, a melancholic stroll through the exotic relics of free trade, where appearances matter more than knowledge. Here, geishas eat fries, Europeans confuse Tokyo with Beijing, tribal ceremonies start with drum rolls and exotic travelling dreams are fulfilled on ephemeral food courts.

Perse - Exile in H
We are happy to start 2021 with the 6-track Debut-EP from Italian duo Perse, formed by Marco Milanesio (DsorDNE, 9cento9) & Emiliana Voltarel (Braconidae).
‘Exile in H’ is a great gathering of spoken poetry, illbient, electronic experimentations and field recordings. Its dark, heavy industrial / noise atmospheres occasionally reach liberating climax, moving the listener away from the initially induced torpor through explosive drumlines.

Produced in one week only, the project between medieval dark-ambient, HD sound-design and esoteric illbient takes inspiration from Noise Music and Doom to introduce alternately a gloomy, epic or spiritual atmosphere.
