about
Palecoal is the solo moniker of french multi-instrumentist Alan Billi, known for his guitar-heavy songwriting in The Rodeo Idiot Engine and Orbel. "Fake Fates" shows the basque musician at his most stripped-down, layering vibrant vocals over eerie yet luminous soundscapes and electronic beats.
Written and completed during the first half of 2020, this record brings new tools to Alan's musical and visual vocabulary, teaching himself the rudiments of home production as well as oil painting for the needs of the project, and relying to the help of respectively Johannes Buff (Dalek, Thurston Moore Group) and Rafael Anton Irisarri (Grouper, Eluvium, Telefon Tel Aviv) for mixing and mastering duties. Merging droning guitars and ethereal synth layers to create immersive tracks, Palecoal explores a sense of spleen and bleakness in a way that couldn't be more intimate.

Rien ne suffit
by Plebeian Grandstandsupported by 7 fans who also own “Fake Fates”
A veritable masterpiece in dissonance and aural disorientation. The angular, contorted pseudo-riffs truly beckon of Deathspell Omega (a comparison that I make with no other band), but this particular warped cacophony is otherwise inimitable.

Bring Down The Flags
by Mütterleinsupported by 7 fans who also own “Fake Fates”
Bring Down the Flags is horrifying, suffocating and builds to something darkly rhapsodic. A showstopping album to end 2021 on.
