Eskimo Films & Disques de Lapin live here.

SUMMER SOLSTICE 2014,
We enter this new season full of promise, looked upon kindly by the fiery star in the sky that keeps us alive.

This year appears to be dedicated to Ô Paradis, here in Lapinia. Firstly, we are happy to announce that in September we will be releasing a tribute to that seminal Catalan project, featuring interpretations of selected Ô Paradis songs by friends, contemporaries, and admirers. "Nada Que Perder: Una Celebración de Ô Paradis" will be released on CD eco-wallet, featuring the following artists: Albireon, Awen, Comando Suzie, David E. Williams, Escama Serrada, Kaffee In Amsterdam?, Kira Lao, Le Paradisier, Mushroom's Patience, Naevus, Nature Morte, Thomas Nöla & The Black Hole, Petrograde, Polly Eurothane & Olde Grey Mare, and Wihinei Rita. Look for this via the Eskimo/Lapin Shoppe in early September. You can see its trailer by clicking on this cover.

In November, we will follow up with a brand new album by Ô Paradis entitled "Nacimiento". More details will be divulged closer to the date, but here are four samples of this album to preview in the meantime (bolded in the tracklisting):

1. La Madre
2. El FIn del Mundo
3. Nuestra Estela
4. Mírame
5. Ukrainia
6. Las Dulces Memorias
7. Equilibristas
8. Desasirse
9. El Velo Azul
10. Nacimiento

11. El Padre

This September, Lapin artists will be giving 2 special performances, including rare live dates by Les Paradisiers. On Friday September 5th, Otto's Shrunken Head in Manhattan will host a night with Les Paradisiers and a combined set by David E. Williams and Jerome Deppe. This will undoubtedly be a show worth the trip for out of towners. Not to be missed, wethinks. A few days later on Monday September 8th, Les Paradisiers will play at O'Brien's, Allston, MA with Polly Eurothane on the bill as well. Delicious. Further details will be available at the Lapin Facebook.

September will be a busy month all around as the much anticipated supergroup The Muskets will be releasing their debut 10" record via Old Europa Cafe on September 11th. "Allegiance To No Crown" comes on red vinyl, featuring 4 songs from the American Revolutionary War interpreted in a modern fashion, along with curious interludes from King George III (played by Andrew King). Muskets T-Shirts are also available now in red or black HERE. Give in to peer pressure and societal urges to consume by purchasing one today. We are happy to note that these shirts are 100% made in America and printed here in Salem. Click below for samples.

Just recently, dasLapin Brewhaus released a new beer: Yoshi's Sweet Potato Explosion Beer. Indeed, it is full of sweet potato, with subtle hoppiness, various spices and a magical ingredient... alcohol. DasLapin beer is not available for sale, however. It is merely to be enjoyed by people who run into Lapin operatives in "real life". All the same, here's a photo of it:

On a parting note, it has recently come to light that one of the Salem, MA public officials who was integral in shutting down our Death In June show last September is a thoroughly corrupt vampire sucking at the city's jugular. Curious. A Captain Brian Gilligan has been found to be defrauding the city and sleeping with married women (how that can happen physically is anyone's guess). In between what appear to be endless donut buffets and harassing artists, "Gilligan" has been up to some very shady living. Details are unfolding HERE and HERE and HERE. Let this be a lesson. If you connive against our benevolent and just ways, our hexes WILL destroy you.

Yours in Zeus,
