A 2008 release by Maxime Primault as Enfer Boréal, ‘Eldorado’ offers a fantastically idiosyncratic read of the legend, sketched in abstract ambience with heavy doses of soothing drone. Never stirring much of a tension, these evocative tracks create an alien musique concrète, a desert noir landscape of creaks, groans, and barren gusts. So it goes from “Blue Bored Star” through “Lost and Lost and Lost”, an initial 20 minutes of resigned quiet and despair. Interlude “Broken Bones” is all texture, denying the effect of glitch by a total inclusion of glitchy material, augmented by bobbing patter, snarl, and a motoric flutter – a momentary dry scrabble of grotesque activity like an oasis of crude oil. “Emptiness and Smoke” blows as cool and hushed as the second passage, though now with an urgency like a gathering storm conjured by the most artificial yet of the albums sounds, a distinctly youthful human hum and terse little wahs like psychedelic noodling. With little advertisement, we stumble upon the fifth and final track, “Don Lope”, a burst of White Rainbow ecstasy made with rattles, the layered babbling of pads, and a swelling chorus of shimmering bright drones with razor-like vibrations as their silver linings. Washing over the track, the darker hue of rain storms and insect swarms imposes itself with the original drone, weighing it down and out with the end of the track. This is a unique, if ultimately decomposing piece of storytelling. In slim clamshell with color insert, art by Jonas Delaborde (of Nazi Knife).
