OCD024 : LAS vegas / LAS vegas

If green felt and failure had a sound, if lucre was anything less than filthy, if there was any merit at all to the meretricious, LAS vegas would not exist formed as it was around the dueling talents of Kris Engelen, Raphaël Rastelli, Eugene S. Robinson, and Dominique Van Cappellen-Waldock and capturing, or as near as possible, the chill of endless neon and nights full of nothing but. 

WHO:
Kris Engelen (programming/synths), from Brussels, solo creator of  ambient/industrial Lost.
Raphaël Rastelli (programming, recording/mixing), co-founder of Brussels-based cinematic doom band von Stroheim.
Eugene S. Robinson (voice/lyrics) as "The American Friend". Sings for OXBOW (bio, interview).
Dominique Van Cappellen-Waldock (songwriting, lyrics, guitar, voice/theremin) started Baby Fire (see OCD018). 

WHAT
Eugene S. Robinson was invited to contribute to "Bureau d’Echange du Mal: Dust Soup", a track featured on Baby Fire’s debut album No Fear, released on Cheap Satanism Records (Belgium). 

LAS vegas grew out of this. LAS vegas is this. LAS vegas is nothing if not this.

Nice review in French in Music in Belgium here, in Perte & Fracas here, in Over blog here, and in Indie Rock Magazine here.
"Un souffle désertique, chargé de fantômes, un paysage aride qui touche infiniment. Exit de LAS Vegas provoque beaucoup avec très peu. Less is more et cætera."
