As 2011 is slowly but surely coming to its end, and since 2012 will see the release of our third album, we decided that it was time to browse through our archives of the past 2 or 3 years, release what was worth a listen, and delete what was not to make room on our hard drives for new Exsonvaldes songs.
We are therefore happy to announce the upcoming release of two digital compilations: "Archives #1: Remixes" and "Archives #2: B-sides & demos".
26 songs (unreleased tracks, remixes, alternate versions, demos, etc.). Some of these songs you know already, some you've never heard before.
They will be available FOR FREE on Bandcamp very soon, and will remain free at least until December 31st 2011.
And then, next year, we will have a new album coming out. It's almost done (in Exsonvaldes time, "almost" means it will be finished in 2 to 365 days) and it sounds great, we're very excited and can't wait to share this new music with you.
See you very soon,
Exsonvaldes.
P.S. There's a special discount on our albums for those Who download the compilation. Check out the conditions in the text file enclosed with the mp3s!

Chers amis,
Alors que 2011 se termine bientôt, et que 2012 sera l'année de la sortie de notre troisième album, nous avons décidé de faire un peu de tri dans nos archives des 2 ou 3 dernières années, de mettre en ligne ce qui nous semblait intéressant, et de supprimer tout le reste pour faire de la place pour de nouvelles chansons sur nos disques durs !
Nous sommes donc heureux d'annoncer la sortie prochaine de deux compilations numériques : "Archives #1: Remixes" et "Archives #2: B-sides & demos".
26 morceaux (des inédits, des remixs, des versions alternatives, des démos, ...). Des choses déjà (un peu) connues, ou au contraire que personne n'a jamais entendues.
Ces deux compilations seront disponibles très prochainement sur Bandcamp, GRATUITEMENT, au moins jusqu'au 31 décembre 2011.
Ensuite, nous sortirons un nouvel album. Il est presque terminé ("presque", en temps Exsonvaldes, ça veut dire dans une fenêtre temporelle de 2 à 365 jours). Nous en sommes très très fiers et avons hâte de vous faire écouter tous ces nouveaux titres !
A très vite,
Exsonvaldes.
P.S. En téléchargeant l'une ou l'autre des compilations, vous trouverez un code de réduction valable sur tous nos albums !

Situationist coldwave from France that is deliciously icy, high-drama vampire vocals colliding with icy synth & guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 7, 2021
Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2023
