Jérôme Chassagnard – Asian Breaks (Digital EP – Hymen Records)
French artist Jérôme Chassagnard remains highly productive, returning with four new tracks.
Born in Asia —likely a reference to his own origins— translates musically into a fusion of slow Trip-Hop rhythms layered with atmospheric Ambient textures. A rich palette of sounds and effects shapes the composition, while occasional oriental vocal fragments further emphasize the theme.
With this release, Jérôme Chassagnard delivers a cool creative work —perhaps even one of his most accessible to date. (Rating:7).

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
