Champions
Blakfish
It was last July when Mr. Botibol stole our hearts away with his first album, recorded alongside Pascal Mondaz (Cocoon, The Elderberries). Although influenced by Elliott Smith, Grizzly Bear, Jeff Buckley, and even Sufjan Stevens, this Bordeaux troubadour unveils a folk universe all his own where xylophone, guitar and voice mingle in a veritable woollen ball of loops. While you wait for the release of his album, scheduled for the second half of 2010, have a look at his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/Botibol. The first EP is already on line!
After a busy 10 years in the biz, our beloved Blakfishes are to split, leaving a manic pantheon of melodic rock ditties and an army of heartbroken fans. Dry your eyes... a collector’s version of their latest album, Champions, is now available. A fitting trophy to these Birmingham winners!
It's hard not to let out a little cry of joy when a project finally ripens after many, many months of encouragement! Hiphiphip is an independent label hosted by Ankama Music, which focuses on international rock, folk and indie pop artists with a strong emphasis on new sounds.
The other reason to celebrate is that this website is finally online. So what will you find on here?
Content!
Videos, photos, articles and news, and links to our online shop, blog, social network pages...... In short, everything you need to follow the life of the label and the day to day activities of our artists!
And if you prefer news to find its way to you, just sign up for the newsletter!
The first in what we hope will become a regular night out - Hiphiphip Session #1 welcomes the Pharaohs, Blakfish and HIM to the Lille scene. 3 groups from the label and 3 artists who’ll feature on M Botibol, a future Hiphiphip production (2010)! Hiphiphip Session #1 will not only be an opportunity to celebrate the recent launch of the label, but it promises to be a stellar show from all three groups.
And what better location to celebrate this historic moment than the Aeronef – the temple of amplified music in Lille for the last 20 years?
Northerners and Belgians, do not miss this event!
Reservations and additional information?
It's Christmas time!
And even if singing a Christmas ditty would be just the thing to do on December 15, we’re going to try and control ourselves...
Blakfish, on the other hand…
Did I say a Christmas ditty? A huge Christmas single more like! It’s here and it’s hot!
