British experimental duo Das Sombreros and French improviser André Darius are commemorating 108 years of the Entente Cordiale with a trio of 'paranoiac collages'
that layer found and treated sounds with nonsensical, misheard phrases and fleeting moments of musicality, all underpinned by sinuous and brooding basslines.
The results can be hallucinatory, sinister, erotic and hilarious - at times all at once.
