FRENCH TEEN IDOL is an instrumental solo-project run by the Roman artist Andrea Di Carlo, offering layers of strings and piano melodies, pseudo-glitch drum beats, wanna-be post-rock crescendos and weird vocal samples.
Lovers of Sigur Rós, M83, God Is An Astronaut and The Album Leaf may appreciate FTI's musical proposal.
On May 29, 2005, "French Teen Idol"'s self-titled debut album has been released by the Canadian netlabel Nishi, soon becoming the catalogue's most downloaded release. On October 2005, the song Shouting can have different meanings has appeared on Losing Today's compilation (Italian version).
"Enlightened False Consciousness", French Teen Idol's second full length album, has been released on April 5, 2007 by the post-rock netlabel Lost Children. On September 7, 2007, a limited cd edition (500 copies) of Enlightened False Consciousness has been released.
June 1st, 2009 is the release date of "El Siete Es La Luz", the third album by Andrea Di Carlo. Slightly more guitar-oriented, the 8 songs confirm FTI's proposal and invite you to a unique musical journey. The album can be ordered here.

[true call software 006] zimmer - now is still early
Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcastday, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
Quando vuoi sognare, quando vuoi calore, quando vuoi ghiacciare, quando non servono parole, quando vuoi giocare, quando vuoi perderti, quando vuoi tornare...su un cuscino speciale...quando vuoi che sia Natale...quasi quasi è Natale. The Star Pillow - Christmas Session (Debut Album)
